Bluefin on a GT TDI 140 MK6

[dieseldunc]

Hi,

I'm a bit new at this posting lark despite being a keen lurker.

I have a GT 140 mk6 and have been considering / tempted by the Bluefin - has anyone or flc1962 in particular had any issues or concerns with it at all?

I love the idea of it, but would like to hear real-world experience with it on this engine.

I'm particularly concerned DPF issues etc?

None at all,  it makes it feel sharper, 2,3,4 have more pull, can't say I notice any MPG gain as I've had it on so long. Have taken it off for servicing and if the car went back (paint work issues). easy to connect and run.

If you do get it when you first install the engine managment light stays on, just switch off and then on again and its gone that only happens when the map is put on either first time or after a re install. Found superchips very helpful if needed.

I still average 53mpg but still not done a long run.

Any other concerns let me know

FLC

Can't comment on the diesel engine but the bluefin is so easy to use and you can revert to the original map when required.

Takes about 5 minutes to switch between maps.

I'm tempted to. Anyone seen any Bluefin deals on their travels?

They sell it on EBAY, you can get the handset reprogrammed, personally would not do it, there are some things better to pay the man for than take the risk. I always thought you had the Petrol version GT.

Had mine over a year v pleased...

Ive been looking for a while now and the cheapest ive been offered is £405 delivered.

[flc1962]

Think I paid £450 ish at the time. Just seems to make the engine smoother

I was a biker so have done all the stupid break neck speeds and acceleration, a non offical 0-60 though last was about 7.8 seconds when warm could be faster but my gear changes ain't what they use to be, over taking is sweet and motor way acceleration is easy and effort less..

I went to the garage with the idea of getting a diesel but when talking to the dealer I enquired about the petrol as I was toying with it but he was reluctant to take the order at the time as it was a minimum 20 weeks as they couldn't produce the engines quick enough.  So thankfully stayed with my original suggestion as the price of both fuels is extortionate, so would rather fill up a lot less often 

So Bluefin may be on the card if I can get a reasonable deal for one.

Bluefins dont work if your ECU is scrambled
