What sold me was when InMotion gave me a call today to alieve any concerns I had regarding the reprogram of the ECU. The specs they are reprogramming into the ECU are the European manufacturing specs that Bosch and VM meant for the engine as it was built. They have the authorization from Bosch to do this. Only other changes are minor like removing speed limiter, etc. They are also authorized to do this same reprogram for just about every other European made gas and diesel engine in Volvo, VW, BMW, Mercedes, etc.
The discussion was to confirm that the reprogram is not detectible by the dealer in that the machine views the European specs as valid for the engine. Interesting that the original specs for the CRD engine reduce the EGR use by over 60% from the DC program. That alone is a major improvement over what we got from Toledo.
The assertion that the DC specs for the CRD are a castrated version from what VM and Bosch intended is well founded. I do not want a fire breather, I just want the engine to operate to its max potential as it was intended. That alone will cure many of the problems that a lot of owners have experienced. I am quite sure that VM built a solid engine that would perform as they intended. They have a solid reputation in Europe. Just some idiots at DC thought they knew more about the engine than the manufacturer. But what is new!
At least when they look under the hood, they will not be able to tell a difference. Oh.... InMotion confirmed that they would reprogram the ECU for FREE for the life of the vehicle if DC decides, through one of their recalls, to reprogram the ECU back to their perverted specs. That was a top seller for me too! It is nice to see a company back a service and continue to correct DC at every turn.
