ECU Chip - 2010 CRD Cherokee / Liberty - UK

[Miff_UK]

well, I have taken the plunge and ordered a chip to be fitted by an auto electrician. Should be happening today.

I have had the Jeep for two months and made a note of some 'baselines' to see if anything improves. If it fixes the massive over-rev between (manual) gear changes, I'll be chuffed anyway !

Baselines are:

1. Economy - currently 29MPG (US)

2. Performance - I have done a rolling acceleration test up a local hill,

Bottom of hill 70 mph
Foot hard down, reaches 76 mph
Crest of hill reaches 86 mph

Hopefully I'll get the new performance figures tonight, and the mpg in a month or so.

Plz note that 29.0 mpg (US) = 34.8 mpg (UK) (phew)

29MPG??!?!?!! You know you're on a jeep forum, right? Are the 2010's hybrids or something? :happy175:

Ah, did you spot the 'CRD' in the subject line ? Us Brits are firmly in the grip of Diesel engines . The UK KK has a 2.8 Litre Italian Common Rail Diesel (CRD) motor fitted.

With petrol at £6 a gallon ($9 Dollars?) we have no choice !

Well I'm chuffed.

After driving the Jeep for a few days, it definitely feels more 'lively', a much smoother, easier drive, and the new test speeds are:

Bottom of hill 70 mph
Foot hard down, reaches 82 mph
Crest of hill reaches **** knows, I had to back off !


Even the wife commented how fast the Jeep felt !

I'll let you know if we get the mpg improvement too in a month or so.
