Hi all.
I am considering power improvement on my 2014 2.2 tdci. Before buying the vehicle I read a test somewhere that stated the defenders torque output was limited by the engine management unit in all gears except 6th! (presumably as some transmission saver). The vehicle certainly seems to develop more power/torque in 6th gear at around 2000rpm / full throttle and accelerate better than it does in 5th or even 4th gear at the same revs.
I was wondering if this "feature" could be removed by disconnecting or modifying the sensor? I mentioned it to my landy service centre and they said the defender has no such switch that they were aware of!
Anybody got any views on this?
I guess the alternative is a remap or similar and that seems like a whole minefield of options!
