Hello,
Unfortunately, I haven't found much using the search function, so I'm asking again:
Does anyone have a chip, power box, or similar device installed in their AEL vehicle?
What positive and negative experiences?
How much does it cost?
My car now has 240,000 km on the odometer, but the turbo and injectors are new, and there's no oil consumption. It should be okay, or would it be better to replace the timing belt and head gasket?
Regards,
Martin.

Still need to replace the timing belt and head gasket?


The timing belt doesn't matter if the engine has 30 more horsepower because the engine doesn't rev higher, and therefore it's not put under any more stress than it would be in its standard configuration.
Just leave it in until it's due.

"I don't think you should worry too much about the head gasket; usually, cracks develop in the head itself, for example, due to poor casting. But the injectors are new, so that's good."

"Just put the chip in and drive like before. If something breaks, you can always replace it later."

Is the AEL the 150hp V6 engine?

Hello Steffarn,

No, the AEL is a 5-cylinder engine.
