james.wilson Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Anyone fitted any to vans before? Can it be programmed on the ECU. Want to limit it to 60 mph. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

RichL Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Easily done by adjusting the throttle arm, for a quick fix. What van is it? Have a look on ebay for the leads to a laptop and you can do most things to the ecu yourself. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 depends on van, main dealer or chip tuner will be able to set limits? I'd say 60 is too low, the gas, royal mail fleet appear to have 68mph stickers on the back door ? Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 BTW, I assume your intending to do all the vane as doing just one might be a bulling in the work place sort of thing ? Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 lol, im going to do all the vans yes. The reason for 60 is that the economy difference on the new bippa between 60 and 70 is massive, However once we swapped the van onto a different engineer the econonmy went from 41mpg to over 60. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Cyberprog Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Lots of vans these days can have limiting turned on in the ECU by the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberprog Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Also most mobile tuning companies/diagnostics companies usually have the dealer level software, and may be able to enable it cheaper than the dealer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mma Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Be prepared for it to take much longer for your engineers to get to jobs. I had a hire van for a week that was limited to 60. Couldn't over take anything. Had to sit in the slow lane on motorway ways behind trucks and bloody caravans and panama wearing old gents with boxes of tissues on the parcel shelve. You just can't risk over taking. If they speed up you reach 60 on a single carage way your done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats what they call a bit of an own goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
