Hi Guys ...

Recently bought an X-type , 2008 2.2d auto Soveriegn , and I love the car , its class ..
However the horn sounds aweful so I have ordered a new set , has anyone changed theres as it looks a nightmare to get to them which I belive are under the battery box ?

Also has anyone added a tuning box to there x-types ?

In the past I have fitted these to other diesels and had good results , not bothered about performance but better MPG is something I would like to improve ..

Cheers
Ray


Sorry for late reply. Don't go for a tuning box. Get a 50/50 remap. It will increase your mpg and the performance. As for the horns. I can't remember where there at, but I have seen them.

When I colledted it from Bristol , a three hour drive back home I got 45 mpg @70mph most of the way home ..

But kicking around the town its doing around 30/33 mpg ...

    Wow. I am feeling the pain of petrol.

    That`s why I prefer a diesel car .....

    A 50/50 remap is the safer remap. 70/30 remap will make you go quicker but your engine and fuel economy will suffer.

    Hows yours after the remap mate?

    He didn`t do mate , couldn`t communicate with the ECU, however after speaking to the manufacturers of the ecu he is going to try again on Tuesday using a different protocol ...

     

    Fingers crossed
