What are the dangers of chip tuning?
Chip tuning can provide more power, pulling power and driving pleasure, but it is also important to possible disadvantages and risks Know. Not every tuning is safe, and not every engine is suitable for it. Especially when tuning is performed poorly or the engine's technology isn't taken into account.
Bee JT Products We do not perform tuning ourselves, but we do provide daily advice on parts needed to support tuning safely and reliably.
1. Overloading of engine parts
With ill-considered tuning, components such as pistons, connecting rods, clutch and turbo are subjected to greater loads than they were designed for. This can lead to:
- Faster wear
- Increased temperature development
- Chance of engine damage in the event of a long -term load
2. Too poor mixture or detonation
A poorly tuned tune can cause a too lean air-fuel mixture, resulting in knocking or detonation. This damages the engine internally and can lead to expensive repairs.
3. Problems with gearbox or coupling
Extra torque sounds attractive, but many standard clutches and automatic transmissions (such as DSG) cannot cope with this well without strengthening or adapting the software.
4. Loss of warranty and insurance
After chip tuning, many brands lose their factory warrantyInsurers can also be difficult if the tuning isn't reported. In some cases, you could even miss out on compensation in the event of damage.
5. MOT and emission problems
Some forms of tuning, such as disabling particulate filters or EGR systems, are illegal and provide for rejection at the MOT or fines upon inspection. In addition, emissions may increase, which violates environmental regulations.
6. Software problems or error codes
Poor tuning can lead to error codes, malfunctions, or a poorly running engine — especially with cheap, universal tuning files that are not specifically designed for your car.
