Howzit guys.
I need some input before I screw everything up.
My car has gotten to the point now where im happy with the maintenance, and I've started thinking about doing a dp. This is were the confusion comes in. I've scratched around but honestly haven't found a clear answer.
I had my engine bay stripped up the other day for it's bi weekly cleaning and somehow realised that I have no oxygen sensors, or any sensors for that matter on my dpf.
This raises the question. . . Do I still need to get a map done straight after the dp or will it be good to go until funds appear for that. Or do I still need dp and software done same time?
If I only do the dp and no software, what happens when the car does a Regen? Sorry for the daft questions, just dont want issues. . .
Next thing, while I get the dp done. . . What else can I do to sort the tractor noise out? Not a big fan of the hollow revving in sport mode, sounds like a learner in an atos or something. . .
Looking to do all this now as I've done the 10000 km ( yes 6 weeks) since I've had it and I think it's time for some personal touches. . Plus service at the same time.
Last question. . . Anybody know where I can get the bottom engine cover, and the one cover in the boot(covering the stock amp) dealers here don't seem interested and so far I can only find one 330i in pmb at the scrappers, not a great fan of scrappers anyways as it just feels wrong.
Anyways. Thanks guys. All input welcome.
Have a good one
Most 320ds after mid-2010 did not have )2 sensor on the DP, so you can do DP and have no issues with needing software immediately, you can however get very happy once you put it on as the 2 make a good pair for mods.
Your car will have the deCAT removed so no need to worry about regen afterwards as the car will pick up all is good. Mine was done, ,my car was stock with DP (decat removed and no sensor issues) and mine was a 2010 model.
That is exactly what I wanted to hear so many many thanks to you. Guess I'll be tackling that this weekend.
Is it recommended to leave the dumpy exhaust pipe there after the dp? As I was planning a twin tailpiece as well?
Thanks man.
Much appreciated
Do DP and leave dumpy tailpiece till you find something nice and do your software first.
you will love us once your software is done, also with dumpy tailpiece, car has a nice turbo sound once DP is done, even better once software is added.
JUST REMEMER: don;t do y-piece double tailpiece cause it will sound like a VeloCiti. Add y-piece near rear axle and run single pipe to each tail-piece and it sound boss!
Mine was like that after 4 different designs but it had a BARK on start up, nice and loud!
