V6 3L Diesel Kleemann Kd-Box settings
Anyone with a KD-Box on a bluetec? I'm trying to find out which settings have given people either the most power or the best mileage (or both, if possible). Kleemann recommends one of 3 settings depending on the engine type, but i believe there's 14 total on the box. I've posted a similar question on the 164 forum .

None. It is simply a setting that increases duration of fuel injection and 5 is just perfect for the V6; increasing fuel even more requires a larger turbo (more fuel needs more air) your CEL may come on. I've had the KD-Box since I purchased the new car in 2007. The next step for more power or adjustment is an ECU retune; you may then discard the KD-Box. I'm still waiting to retune my spare ECU however in the meantime choice of rims and tires provide additional torque, making the car even meaner.
