Product Details

Unlike "generic" diesel tuning systems, this advanced, self fit chip will be programmed specifically to optimise your Audi A5 MK1 2.7 TDI. And because it works in conjunction with your on-board computer rather than altering it, all engine safety functions remain operational. What's more, the system can be easily unplugged, leaving no trace of fitment, returning your vehicle to factory standard at any time.

The CHIP Express™ system simply plugs in using connectors which are identical to those originally fitted by the manufacturer - there are no wires to cut, just follow the supplied photo-instructions for your specific engine and you'll have the job done in minutes. Once installed, you will immediately feel the transformation. You'll pull away with ease, climb hills effortlessly and enjoy extra reserves of power when you need them. Your whole driving experience will be enhanced thanks to the significant boosts in performance. You'll feel the improved acceleration, the cleaner, crisper throttle response and enjoy smoother gear changes – turbo lag and hesitation off the mark will be replaced by a faster, more linear and instantaneous delivery of performance; you'll also appreciate a reduction in engine noise. Improvements in torque will transform low end dynamics and allow you to keep RPM's down by holding taller gears while using less throttle for similar speeds, helping you save fuel. Remember while most tuning companies aim to provide maximum power our aim is to also refine drivability and in gear flexibility, providing a wider spread of usable performance where you need it most!

Better Economy

By making your engine significantly more fuel-efficient, the CHIP Express™ digital tuning system means you can achieve substantially better economy from your MK1 2.7 TDI too. You'll drive on a smaller throttle opening for a given speed and change gear less, getting you further on a tank of diesel!

Before

* Typical economy results between 8-16% yet can produce up to 20% depending on engine tolerances, driving style and conditions. CHIP Express™ diesel tuning chips may also increase the maximum speed of your vehicle by up to 5%; applies to non speed limited vehicles only.

Ever wondered why the manufacturer didn't program it this way as standard?

Vehicle manufacturers are forced to compromise when they set up the engine's ECU, to create vehicles which will operate in a wide variety of markets and conditions.

  • Many countries, for example, impose emission controls which are far more rigorous than those we have in the UK.
  • Other countries relate their vehicle taxation systems to power output rather than engine size.
  • Some, like the UK, impose higher taxation for different emission levels.
  • In many cases power is deliberately restricted for future use.
  • Finally the manufacturers themselves often produce several different performance variants of a given model.

To meet all these different needs, they re-program the vehicle's ECU to change the engine requirements. Now, thanks to CHIP Express™ class-leading, state of the art solutions, you can benefit from greater low-down torque for improved pulling power, higher output for better out-and-out performance, and better fuel economy!

Feedback From Our Customers

Matthew from Eastleigh with a Audi A5 2.0 TDI Quattro 177 said: This is the third vehicle I have chipped and I must say this is both the easiest and the best system I have used. Firstly the performance improvement was remarkable and gave a noticeable boost to the already lively diesel - the Quattro still gripped with ease and gave a really impressive acceleration and torque. I have now done 40,000 miles with the chip (I drive a lot!) and I have flat averaged 55mpg which is superb considering I like a spirited drive. It was also very easy to fit and reassuring to know I can just remove it without trace should the car need any warranty work. Top product - happily recommend and definitely use on future cars.
Steve from Essex with a Audi A5 3.0 TDI 240 Auto said: This is the second car to which I have fitted a Chip Express system, and once again I am absolutely delighted. Engine performance is transformed with a first journey that returned 46MPG over speeds ranging from 40 to motorway speeds. Gear changes are smoother, acceleration fantastic and a general performance that will easily match and exceed any equivalent petrol car on the road. Incredibly easy to fit and once again has proved to be completely hassle free. Having driven diesel cars for the last 25 years, my only regret is that I did not discover this company and what they do until a few years ago. The Chip Express service is second to none. I posted my existing box to them on Thursday and they had it re-programmed and back with me by Saturday morning. So, if your thinking about it, put your worries aside and just get one. You wont regret it!
Mergim from Stockholm, Sweden with a Audi A5 2.0 TDI 143 said: Got my chip today and installed it! Works perfectly! I'd rate your service 10/10, super-fast delivery (barely 48 hrs to Sweden), and really easy to install! Sincerely, a really happy customer!
William from Limassol, Cyprus with a Audi SQ5 MK1 3.0 TDI 313 said: I had considered fitting a chip for some time but had my doubts, seeing the reviews on your web page changed my mind and now I share my experience. The chip was promptly delivered and installation was done in the 5 minutes as stated. First thing to notice was a reduction in engine noise. Test drive immediately showed improvement in torque and power which is significant considering that the SQ5 is already a powerful car. Driving pleasure is improved. Economy, whilst this wasn't a priority on a regular run on the highway under similar conditions driving for one hour economy improved from 7.7 Lts/100 Km to 6.8 Lts/100 Km. Under urban conditions the improvement is about 1.2 Lts/100 Km. CHIP Express delivered what it was said it would and now some of my colleagues are looking at this option. Thanks, William.
Clive from Pulborough with a Audi A5 2.0 TDI 177 said: Staggered. Sceptical to start with. 10 minute installation and performance improvement. Perhaps not quite as significant as I expected but nonetheless mid range torque so much better. Engine and gear changes smoother. MPG FANTASTIC. Prior to tuning 21,452 miles at an average 42.8 mpg. Since chipped 1,017 miles at 52.3mpg. Same journeys as usual. I do 15k mile p.a. the chip will pay for itself in less than a year. Tap tap boom!
Bill from Silsden with a Audi A5 MK2 3.0 TDI 218 said: Unit delivered this morning, excellent service. Initial impressions - very well made and presented with great packaging. Fitting took about 5 mins. Having had it out on the road, I have to say I am impressed, power delivery is very smooth and progressive, and what was already the smoothest quietest diesel I ever had is now even smoother and exceptionally quiet even under hard acceleration. So all good. Cheers, Bill.
Tat from Bradford with a Audi A5 3.0 TDI 240 said: Due to a change in car I sent my CHIP Express box back for reprogramming. I sent on a Thursday and had it back Saturday morning, now that's a fast turnaround! I originally had the box installed on my Audi A3 2.0 TDI, primarily for the additional performance which it delivered by the bucket load. This time I wanted the chip for the extra economy, which again it has delivered on. I cannot recommend this product enough, it does as promises with great service to top it off. What's not to like?! Many thanks.
Bill from Silsden with a Audi A5 MK2 3.0 TDI 218 said: Well I have to say I am really surprised, I was a bit skeptical! I have had remaps a couple of times and plug in tuning boxes several times, and whilst I know they work, I was taking large pinches of salt as I was reading your website, as every other chip I have had showed great MPG improvements in fuel consumption, which was always debunked by doing tank full to tank full calculations. Now two full tank to tank calcs later I surrender! I don’t know how you did it but it appears you have. Pre chip I was averaging 42-44 MPG per tank full, with distance covered being between 475 and 490 miles. The last 2 tank fills since fitting have been 517 with an mpg of 46.34, and 510 with an mpg of 47.23. In addition the turbo lag has virtually gone and what was an already very swift and flexible engine is now improved enormously, so I have to say thank you!

What others are saying...

“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.”

“May I congratulate you on this diesel tuning product as it has made a noticeable difference to my Land Rover Discovery. 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 (which I have also had done before) for smoothness and noticeable power gains. This would be the only diesel tuning product I would recommend.”

“As do many, I took the 'if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is' approach to performance chips. But CHIP Express were recommended by an impeccable source who had had experience with their product on my model of car - a Citroën C6 with the 2.7 HDi twin turbo diesel. Following a first rate response to a query, the product has delivered in spades. Ten days and more than 1000 miles of mixed town, country, low and high speed driving later I am certainly getting more than 10% more from a gallon, and probably 15%, and the performance is markedly better. Low speed response is immediate and has eradicated what I took to be baked-in lag in a big automatic turbo diesel, and mid-range acceleration is silky smooth, including up inclines. A very good car has been turned into the excellent car I had hoped for all along.”

“A friend recommended one of your "gadgets" a year ago and being not-very-techno (but Scottish and keen to save money!) I bought one. The gizmo has TRANSFORMED the performance of my Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4 AND improved the fuel economy by a genuine 15%; so much so that I have bought another one for our Freelander 2 SD4 which is now a REAL Q-car! (And of course saves fuel...) I have never written a review before (though strangely I do read them and take notice of them, whilst half-believing that they are written by the owner's chums!) so to have made me pick up pen & paper so to speak - I MUST be delighted! Thanks for making technology so simple and so successful!”

“I must say l'm delighted with the improvement from your chip, its on the standard settings and the difference in the car is amazing!!! I have a smile on my face every time I get in the car, and there is about 5-7mpg improvement. With the mileage l do, l can see myself getting my money back in no time at all. So if your a doubter like me, don't be because its one of the best things l've ever bought!!!”

“Be assured, this is NO gimmick. Arrived yesterday (less then 24 hours after the order was placed) and fitted today. The fitting was easy especially with the photos and instructions sent with the chip. The first thing I noticed was the responsiveness of the engine from a standing start, no more lag. I then went on a 30 minute drive both motorway and sideroads and my average fuel consumption went UP from 33.3mpg to 38.7mpg. My motorway speed varied from 60 to 85mph and the sideroads from zero to 40mph. I am so pleased with the whole result. This is worth every single penny paid. Thank you!”
