MAN TGX Tractor Unit Tuning and Power Upgrade
The MAN TGX is MAN's long-haul tractor unit range. The engine control unit (ECU) software is recalibrated on the vehicle's own original file; the original software is backed up.
MAN TGX power remap
A power remap on the MAN TGX recalibrates the fuel quantity, injection timing, boost pressure and torque limiter maps. On a tractor unit, efficiency is decided by the speed and gear held on a gradient with a loaded trailer; with more torque in reserve there is less downshifting on hills and the engine runs at lower revs. The calibration stays within the safety margin of the engine and driveline.
MAN TGX DPF, EGR and AdBlue fault solution
On long-haul vehicles most complaints come from the emission systems: NOx sensor, pump and heater faults in the AdBlue (SCR) system, a blocked particulate filter (DPF) and EGR faults. With these faults the vehicle goes into reduced-power mode and the trip is interrupted. The source of the fault is diagnosed first; the software solution is applied according to the ECU type.
ECU and compatibility for the MAN TGX
Services with a verified solution for MAN in our library: Stage 1 Remap, Speed Limiter (Vmax) Removal, DPF Delete, EGR Delete, AdBlue / SCR Delete and DTC / Fault Code Removal. The control units we work on in MAN vehicles include BOSCH EDC7C32, BOSCH EDC17CV42, BOSCH EDC7C3 and BOSCH EDC MS6.1. The same model can carry a different ECU depending on build year and engine option, so we confirm compatibility for the MAN TGX from a photo of the ECU label or from the file read out.
Where is the difference noticed on the MAN TGX?
- Long gradients with a loaded trailer
- Motorway overtaking and cruise control
- Heavy and bulky loads
- Long trips where fuel cost is decisive
