Engine: VW Jetta 1.9 TDI (105)
Owner: Nick from Tamworth
Feedback: "We recently bought a caravan and collected it with our car but when towing realised we needed more power, a friend told us to use 'Chip Express'. I bought one and fitted it last week, went for a test drive and 'WOW' - the power is amazing now. We towed the caravan earlier today and noticed it was much easier to pull and the fuel economy was much better, when we picked it up we got 33mpg but now we're getting 40mpg. We are very impressed, especially as we ordered the box at 4:30pm on Friday and received it Saturday morning!!"

Engine: AUDI A4 3.0 TDI
Owner: Timothy from Stoke On Trent
Feedback: "I ordered my Chip Express for my 2007 AUDI A4 3.0 TDI on Tuesday afternoon, to my surprise it arrived the next day at 08.30; fantastic service. I fitted it that evening in less than 5 minutes thanks to the easy and accurate instructions and photo's. The difference is staggering; the torque is huge giving blistering performance with no black smoke. Great product!"

Engine: BMW 320d 177 PS
Owner: David from Darlington
Feedback: "Wow, I just cannot believe the difference. It is like driving the 3lt diesel with 50mpg+. I don\'t know how you have managed it and it shows that for whatever reason BMW are not getting the best out this engine in std tune. Thanks very much and have recommended to all my diesel driving friends."

Engine: Chrysler 300C 3.0 CRD 218
Owner: David from Woodbridge
Feedback: "Thank you for prompt delivery. Spent some time reading my instructions then went ahead and fitted the chip to my Chrysler 300 CRD... the power now feeds in strongly from1500rpm and use of kick down on the auto is not really needed. Your chip has completely transformed the car into a refined high speed cruiser. I love it, thank you very much."

Engine: BMW 30d xDrive X6
Owner: Robin from South Yorkshire
Feedback: "I know that you have a considerable number of happy customers but I would just like to add to that growing number! The ease of fitting was incredible (literally minutes as you promised!) and the resulting improvement in the engines low end performance is worth every penny."

Engine: Peugeot 407 SW 1.6 HDI 109
Owner: Barry (Algarve region, Portugal)
Feedback: "Just to let you know I've fitted the unit to my Peugeot 407 SW 1.6 down here in the Algarve, where it's warm and sunny, and, as with our Volvo D5 system, simple to fit, the instructions are excellent and it runs beautifully, much better response, heaps more go and it looks as if the economy, already good, is even better. Thanks again."

Engine: Audi Q5 2.0 TDI 170 PS
Owner: Paul from Newcastle Upon Tyne
Feedback: "I purchased a chip from you early last month. Sadly I fell and broke my ankle the day after I fitted it so I couldn't drive for 5 weeks. I would just like to say Wow! It has totally transformed the car (Audi Q5 2.0Tdi DSG auto). In particular the slow speed driving is much smoother, the car does not hunt for gears as much and the economy is amazing. I saw 44.5mpg on my 35 mile commute to work yesterday. The best money I've ever spent on a car!"

Engine: Nissan X-Trail 2.0 dCi 173
Owner: William from Dublin
Feedback: "Just fitted the new box you sent me. What a difference it has made... the power is unbelievable, acceleration is better, mid-range it is so quick no matter what gear you're in and top speed is much improved, fuel consumption is slightly sore when you use full throttle (to be expected), but when driven normally I could not believe how much more economical it now is! I will be recommending it to my friends. I would like to thank you for the assistance you gave me when I was fitting the box... I am very impressed!"

Engine: Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTi 160
Owner: Michael from Northwich
Feedback: "Hi guys it's me again with a red face. Here's a good tip - don't try a fit a chip when it's freezing cold and ice on the car and your fingers are as flexible as lead pipes. Go for a run in the car warm it up, leave it 5 minutes and have a cup of good old tea warm the hands and hey presto it fits first time. Just been for a run in it and wow very impressive, it sounds quieter and feels smoother and the performance is terrific... Well done guys!"

Engine: Honda 2.2i CTDI
Owner: Keith from Barkestone Le Vale
Feedback: "Received the kit for my Honda CR-V this morning - less than 24 hours after I ordered it. Simple, clear instructions. I spent 5 minutes reading through the instructions and it took me just under 10 minutes from start to finish to install the system - and I have no mechanical knowledge or experience, so if I can do it anyone can. Left the setting on the pre-configured mark and went for a test drive and WOW! Immediate and noticeable increase in power and especially torque. Couldn't resist tweaking it so increased to the next level and went for another test drive. DOUBLE WOW! I am amazed! I think I shall leave it on this setting - it definitely doesn't need any more! All in all I can recommend this system - it does exactly what it says it will do and it is a simple 10 minute job to install."

Engine: BMW 335d
Owner: John from Ashton Keynes
Feedback: "Just a quick note to say many thanks for the prompt delivery. I fitted the device this afternoon and am very pleased indeed with the results - as you said, the throttle response is much more linear and consequently the car is significantly easier to drive. My wife has just been out for a drive and is also delighted with the results, so many thanks."

Engine: C5 2.0 HDI
Owner: Adrian from Farnworth
Feedback: "I recently fitted a tuning box from Chip Express. I have since done over 4000 miles. What a difference this little box has made... I am averaging 50.4 mpg at motorway speeds, with greatly improved acceleration. Well done everybody at Chip Express... worth every penny!"

Engine: Hilux 2.5 D-4D
Owner: Morgan from Malaga
Feedback: "My vehicle is 102 HP 2004 Toyota Hilux 2.5 D-4D with 50,000 miles running 31 10/50 15 tyres. Your chip has smoothened out the power very well! It now pulls evenly through the rev range with no excess fuel knock or injector rattle on overrun, no blacking on power from the exhaust. The increased torque means less loss of speed on hills but also you notice the fact that you don't need to change down as much on mountain roads. When I tested this Toyota for the car magazines in 2004 my main gripe was that the long gear ratios were not suited to the short power band on the 2.5 D-4D... but your chip does what the manufacturers should have done by making the engine pull from lower in the rev range... on these vehicles that is a welcomed change to its original characteristics!"

Engine: Land Rover TD5
Owner: Greg from Crediton
Feedback: "Firstly, many thanks for an excellent product. It arrived the next day in perfect condition. I fitted the chip myself with a little assurance from one of your technicians. After road testing I can confirm all flat spots have now been replaced with silky smooth torque! I would recommend your product to anyone. Thanks again."

Engine: VW Golf 1.9 TDI 105 DSG
Owner: Don from Auckland
Feedback: "Last Saturday I fitted my new Chip Express system and all I can say is WOW!! It measured up to every aspect that you promoted it on as regards the upgrade in performance. It is measurably smoother, in fact quieter, far more torque, and changes gears much more rapidly... it is very quick now! Cheers."

Engine: Ford Mondeo TDCi
Owner: John from Grantham
Feedback: "Just a quick note to thank you for the swift delivery of your CHIP Express unit. I couldn't believe it arrived so quickly and also how easy it was to install thanks to the clear instructions. The performance and sheer driveability has been increased 100% with no side effects - it feels like a completely different and much newer car with smooth delivery of power right across the rev range, amazing considering it is six years old and has covered almost 80,000 miles. I will have no hesitation in recommending your product to my friends. Many, many thanks."

Engine: Audi A4 2.0 143 TDI CR
Owner: Chris from Essex
Feedback: "Hi there, just wanted to say thanks and how pleased I am with my purchase. At the moment the box is still set up on your standard settings, the change from standard is amazing, loads more torque, better throttle response, increased MPG and a joy to drive. Once again many thanks"

Engine: Volvo 2.4 D5
Owner: Ian from Darwen
Feedback: "Having recently bought you product I can tell you this has transformed my vehicle... better MPG, I achieved 32mpg whilst towing my 1500kg caravan. I took the vehicle for its MOT and passed the emission test with flying colours. A better CAR ALL ROUND!"

Engine: Toyota 2.5 D-4D
Owner: Paul from Oxfordshire
Feedback: "Just a quick note to let you know that your product has made a huge difference to the performance of the vehicle. It has made the power so much smoother over the entire rev range, given added thump when needed, and the economy has noticeably improved after a long run over known mileage this past weekend. Really impressed with the chip and was surprised how simple it was to install, especially as I hate dealing with electrics of any sort being a 'mechanical engineer'. Those sparky things are well left alone usually for us types. Thanks to everyone for their help and advice and prompt service."

Engine: VW Scirocco 2.0 140
Owner: Jeffrey from Co. Antrim
Feedback: "I recently bought a tuning chip for my 09 VW Scirocco, the power gains were fantastic and I was very impressed that I could so easily adjust the power setting by myself. This is alone makes Chip Express product unique from any other I have came across! Standard I was getting at best 48mpg but with this box I now achieve over 60mpg! The customer service if brilliant too! I would recommend Chip Express to anyone and already have recommended them to friends and family."

Engine: Mercedes CDI 2.2
Owner: Steve from Southampton
Feedback: "First surprise: Having ordered my unit around 4pm on Friday afternoon, I was most surprised and very pleased to receive it first thing on Saturday morning. Second surprise: Ease of fitting. Third Surprise: The overall difference it has made to the car. I own a Mercedes C200 CDI and have always felt that Mercedes got it wrong with this model; however I bought it and am stuck with for the foreseeable future. Your unit has turned it into what it should be, it is now smoother, quieter, responds better and the difference in fuel economy is nothing short of outstanding. Today on a regular trip from Southampton to North London and back I saw the mpg raise from 42.1mpg (average) to 51.2mpg (overall average for the round trip) and apart from road works (M3 & M25) and typical M25 hold ups, I was driving at normal motorway speed (outside lane with flow of traffic). I was that impressed I even stopped in the services on the way back and took a photo of the trip computer display. It was showing the following: From Start 152ml / Av speed 45mph/ 51.0mpg!"

Engine: Audi 2.0 TDI 170
Owner: Stephen from Essex
Feedback: "Having spent a lot of money on my new TT I was somewhat nervous about fitting the chip... I contacted Chip Express ... the technician I spoke to laid my fears to rest... although entirely willing to fit the chip for me (at a cost of £50) assured me that this was not necessary and offered to talk me through the process by phone. As it was raining heavily I declined. The following day and still being a little concerned regarding my technical ability my friend fitted it for me. The task was indeed extremely simple and had I pushed my doubts away would have managed with no hassle. It is as simple as Chip Express tell you it is. So now to the result: Absolutely incredible! I have left mine at the setting installed by the company and the results are amazing. Throttle is crisp and responsive, gear changes seem smoother. Absolutely no engine lag... mid range it pulls like a steam train... gear changes do indeed arrive sooner and as claimed there is much more speed variance available with no engine labour in the higher gears, so less changing down. Absolutely chuffed to bits. I made the decision to go with a diesel based on economy... but now also have the performance of the petrol version. Fantastic!"

Engine: Suzuki 1.3DDIS
Owner: Alan from Coventry
Feedback: "Many thanks for your fantastic service! Unit ordered Sunday, delivered Tuesday am!! Unit now fitted and, as promised, the car is transformed. Winding country lanes tackled quite happily in fifth gear. Cruising on much smaller throttle openings and immediate response on acceleration. The car behaves as a mini car should behave. I had some initial doubts about spending quite a large amount of money on this item but it is worth every penny and would not hesitate to advise anyone to do similar."

Engine: Peugeot 2.0 HDI
Owner: Brenton, Canberra (Australia)
Feedback: "Just got back from my first test drive, post-fitting my new Chip Express. Wow! Not that you didn't warn me! Your other customers weren't exaggerating! Yes, yes, yes! Smoother: not even one bolt rattling in the bucket; quicker, smoother change-ups using then previously-irrelevant tiptronic; and that awesome tow from < 1000rpm! More impressed than I had expected, even from your website reviews. Now, to take on my mouthy accountant's Cooper S! I can hardly wait to get it on the freeway to Sydney for a real spin! Now all I need is a radar-detector! Well done, Chip Express!"

Engine: Land Rover TDV6
Owner: James from Callington
Feedback: "May I congratulate you on this diesel tuning product as it has made a noticeable difference to my Land Rover Discovery 3. I have tried other diesel tuning boxes for my previous vehicles (Kia Sorento, Peugeot 206 and Vauxhall Vectra)... and they all produced slight engine stuttering under certain load conditions. The Chip Express system does not show any evidence of this and is equal to the likes of an ECU remap from Superchips (which I have also had done before) for smoothness and noticeable power gains but for a great deal less money. This would be the only diesel tuning product I would recommend."

Engine: Ford 2.2 TDCI 175
Owner: Dave from Leatherhead
Feedback: "I have had the system installed for a couple of days now and am amazed at the difference it makes to the driveability of what was already a very nice car to drive, and economy on my route to work has increased from 40 to 47 mpg... a fantastic product that does exactly what it promises to do."

Engine: Volvo Penta D3 190
Owner: Richard from Southwater.com
Feedback: "We have fitted one of your systems on Friday to a D3 190. We went on sea trials with the owner and (VODIA) Volvo diagnostics installed. No problems and noticed a much smoother acceleration. Also the engine ran much sweeter and got to its top speed quicker."

Engine: Mercedes 3.0 CDI
Owner: Richard from Washington USA
Feedback: "I purchased an identical chip from you about 5 months ago after being less than impressed with my recent Mercedes R320 CDI performance. Well your chip made THE difference! I purchased a second R320 about 4 hours ago and am ordering a chip for that car before I even get the car next week! My brother-in-law also will be purchasing one from you in the near future! Thank you so much! FINALLY a device the delivers as promised."

Engine: Ford 2.0 TDCI
Owner: Daniel from Co. Limerick Ireland
Feedback: "Just here to say I got my chip today. It is true what they say; my car was nice to drive but now it's magic! Much quicker and changing up gears faster. Thanks Chip Express, keep up the good work!"

Engine: Mercedes ML320 BlueTec
Owner: Dennis from USA
Feedback: "I just arrived back from a long trip... the results are simply amazing - far better than my best expectations. I got as high as 37 mpg on one segment of 250 miles on a four lane road and 36.7 on a 740 mile leg. Overall, I drove over 2500 miles and averaged 33.7 mpg which includes a lot or city driving. Driveability is unchanged or if anything, improved. Before, there was a turbo lag that was annoying at times. Thanks again for your help. Your device is superb."

Engine: Toyota 2.0 D-4D
Owner: Timothy from Nottingham
Feedback: "This is just a quick email to let you know your tuning system has made a smooth diesel even smoother... the engine responsiveness is far more linear and the new found power is also very addictive... I will definitely not be sending the unit back after 14 days...best regards to all the team and thank everyone on my behalf for there kind help."

Engine: Fiat 1.3 Multijet
Owner: Robert from London
Feedback: "Thanks once again for all your help... After fitting the tuning box my van gained a lot of extra low end grunt and turbo lag has been completely eliminated...carrying heavy loads is now effortless and I get much better economy."

Engine: Seat 1.4 TDI
Owner: Rupert from Cambridge
Feedback: "The family car has just been transformed... The 3-cylinder engine is much smoother to drive around town and now pulls extremely well on the motorway... We have gained a new respect for our car and your tuning system. Thanks again."

Engine: VW 1.9 TDI Sport
Owner: Richard from St David's
Feedback: "Just to let you know my TDI Sport now actually feels like a SPORTS model... I was very happy with the standard increase in power from your box but could not resist turning it up a little further... This is what performance should have been like when it left the factory!"

Engine: Vauxhall 1.9 CDTi
Owner: Eddie from Stirling
Feedback: "My car now feels more like a turbocharged petrol vehicle if that makes sense to you? It really does rev freely and is very eager, especially in second and third gears... I could not have asked for any more!"

Engine: BMW 3.0D
Owner: Adam from Exeter
Feedback: "What a brilliant device... My car is now faster and more fuel efficient, just like you promised ... Thanks for all your support during my dealings with your company. In the end I got my local mechanic to fit the device... he charged me £25 for fitting and was thoroughly impressed with its quality."

Engine: Skoda 1.9 TDI
Owner: Paul from Birmingham
Feedback: My last car was a 2004 Fabia vRS 130 BHP model... however when it was time to upgrade Fabia there was no new shape diesel vRS. In the end I opted for the 1.9 105bhp version... however it never matched the performance of the old vRS ... well that's until yesterday when I fitted the tuning box you sold me... it was very easy to install and now I would say without a shadow of a doubt that my new Fabia is faster and more economical then the old one!"

Engine: Volvo S40 2.0D
Owner: Fred from Leeds
Feedback: "I recently decided to sell my Volvo S40 as our new car was arriving that weekend... The first chap that turned up test drove the car and made me a fair offer... The following day he came to collect the car... I waved him off and within minutes he had returned complaining about the performance; then it struck me; I had taken the tuning box off! In the end I had to give the buyer the tuning box. Anyway just thought I'd share this amusing tale with you. I'll be in touch on Monday regarding yet another tuning box for my new Volvo."

Engine: Mini Cooper D
Owner: Beryl from Colchester
Feedback: "I originally wanted the petrol Cooper S but it never convinced me financially... Now with tuning I feel I have the best of both, economy and performance... Thanks guys I'll be recommending you to everyone at the Mini Fair."

Engine: Nissan 2.5 dCi
Owner: Carl from Market Drayton
Feedback: "The tuning system has adapted very well to my vehicle and is proving its worth on a daily basis... my economy is up at least 15% and my wife now actually enjoys driving it too... thanks for a faultless service and superb advice about the different types of tuning systems on the market!"

Engine: Ford 2.0 TDCi
Owner: Charles from Leamington Spa
Feedback: "Fitting the box took 15 minutes and was well worth the effort... I now actually look forward to going for a drive. The extra low down torque means that I am changing gear much less and my fuel economy is also up by 4mpg... I will definitely keep you in mind for future cars."

Engine: Mercedes 2.0 CDI
Owner: Daniel from Chester
Feedback: The Merc now performs better then when it was new, how you have made this possible astounds me... I will be transferring the unit to my next Mercedes when I do eventually part exchange the car next year... I'll be in touch for advice when I do..."

Engine: Renault 1.5 dCi
Owner: Martin from Tenby
Feedback: My car was fine, just a little dull when it came to performance... I had heard of plug in tuning boxes before and after a good deal of research I decided to give you a try... The CHIP Express™ system has now been installed for 6,000 miles and never missed a beat... It really has transformed my car into something special! Please feel free to use my comments on your website so others can see what a great upgrade this actually is!"

Engine: Saab 1.9 TiD
Owner: Jerry from Derby
Feedback: "I had never owned a diesel before but my dealer assured that once a diesel owner always a diesel owner... Two weeks into diesel ownership I was still unsure, I then came across you guys and since having the unit installed I have never looked back... A Saab diesel with speed and economy... Who would have ever thought this possible?"

Engine: Peugeot 1.4 HDi
Owner: Alice and Trevor from Bedford
Feedback: "My husband was actually going to upgrade the Peugeot as we were not happy with the performance; we then found your company and decided to give you a try... What can I say? Wow! We are now much happier and will be keeping the car for another few years. Thank you CHIP Express!"
