after my first attempt...
to get information about that.
with the active help of a professional handyman.
failed (why was the thread actually locked???)

Okay:
'Has anyone had positive or negative experiences with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?'
Would you still tune an AKN engine with 120,000 km (approximately 74,500 miles)?

And PLEASE don't put down or insult the first person who answers.
due to some trivial matters.
This thread is intended to last longer icon_twisted.gif.

Thank you, Thomas.

I'm back!

As I mentioned, a well-known TCM software is installed in his 2.5 TDI! I don't know if it's the AKN or the AFB model.

He sent his control unit there!

I can only recommend TCM. If you're still hesitant, just give him a call! You'll be surprised by his expertise, which you strangely don't find with the more well-known tuners!

Regards,

Manuel.

Thanks again for the information.

I saw that you're also active on the Motortalk forums.

No, I was actually planning to update my profile anyway!

See!

icon_lol.gif Hello,
I can only recommend TCM (Markus Gerz). He truly knows his craft. In my circle, three 1.9 TDI PD engines have already been tuned by him. Excellent work at a great price. He offers chip tuning at a fixed price (250 €) on 'eBay'; search term: 'Chiptuning TDI'.
