Hi all,

Today i made a 600Km trip, and was curious to see the actual diesel comsumption after the kit installation.
Well, i must say that now i understand what ACS guys mean when they claym that the kit promotes a better diesel burn - the result was an even better milleage than before: now it's 8.1 liters per 100Km , before the kit it was 8.5 liters per 100 Km.
You UK guys must convert to MPG as we don't use that kind of measure here, bur i'm sure that's a super milleage!
Btw the trip was done at 170KM/h almost all the time

Cheers

Fantastic. Most important, how's the performance?

Do you have the Euro IV car, I read somewhere that the Hartge conversion will not be compatible with these cars (yet), due to some conflict with the particulate filter?

Hi,

The ACS kit is not yet compatible with Euro IV cars.
The performance boost is very noticeable - an already fine car is even better now.

total drive time = 210minutes
More than enough to get a correct milleage estimation in the highway.
Don't get me wrong, in the city the car burns more diesel than before, the trip was in the highway with the cruise control set to 170Km/h.

btw, I'm driving the car from London to Portugal next month. If you see a silver E60 on English plates cruising around the Costa Verde, that will be me then!
