Stage 1 ecu tuning on xf 3.0

[Trackdayhero8]

Hi all,

Just bought a 2012 xf 3.0 v6, and thinking about upping the power, Avon auto clinic,apparently for £225 can do a stage 1 on it and up it to 325 hp.

Is this a good idea? Can the gearbox take it? Is it likely to invalidate the warranty? Anybody used Avon auto?

thanks

If Bought from a main Jaguar then it would invalidate there approved 2 year warranty. The ECU on these models needs to be opened to enable a remap..Servicing can't tell if its been remapped Just if they do a test drive might spot the extra power..As your not the 1st owner and any problems just act as the install date is not readable. Yes the 8 speed gearbox will take that small torque increase..£225 seems cheap! I always use Quantum Tuning and a home visit will cost around £360 but the map is rewrote buy sending the EUC data to there HQ and about an hour later a map is returned to suit the your actual vehicle and not a generalised one map will suite all 3.0s diesels.
