Is it possible to get a D3 for a W204 cdi 220 manual?

I had this exact one fitted yesterday. Paid £250 for a used one. Best thing I've ever done. It's like driving a different car, and the sluggishness at low speed/revs has gone.

Are they not just diesel tuning boxes?

yes but theyre designed for the particular engine. some of the tuning boxes out there only really give false coolant temp and air temp readings to the ECU and as a result, reduced component life.

my other half had a VW touran and the turbo went bang after having a tuning box fitted at a previous point in its life. the blades on the impellers had become brittle through excessive heat and eventually one broke, jamming the turbo and snapping the shaft between the 2 impellers

They sit on the fuel rail, injectors and turbo.

They give superb results, better than most remaps.

How does tricking a car get better results than re writing the car?
