Hi all I have a STEINBAEUR TD6 tuning box I have just removed from my old TD6. I will be looking to sell this to help fund the ECU remap I want on my replacement TDV8. It has P box written on the actual ECU box but I have checked with STEINBAEUR themselves and they have confirmed it is definitely one of their boxes by the bar code number I gave them from the actual ECU box. My only problem is not knowing what it is worth.

Hoping someone on here can give me a rough valuation as to its 2nd hand value. Looking at the STEINBAEUR website they still do the same unit and it retails at approx £600, which seems very high to me until I looked at the TDV8 version which costs a ridiculous amount (over £1500). So hoping someone can give me a guide price as to what this 2nd hand unit is worth.

You do need to give your own price or guide price to list here, if you don't know a price then you should ask elsewhere first

Martin, my bad was not sure where to post this, could you move this to the relevant location please? Or is it something I can do?

Moved for you

Depending on age and condition, these sell from £100-£120

Thanks Dolphinboy,

I don't suppose you have any links etc to secondhand units selling for £100 to £120? The price seems on the low side for a £600 unit, but you can never tell I guess. I thought Steinbaeur were the best units around, so would have imagined the resale price would reflect that and hold its value as not a lot are sold, most folk go for the cheaper ECU remap option, also as its removable you can move it from one vehicle to another, or if you change to a different vehicle you can also sell it on.

Got to stress this is not a cheapo box, its a full inline ECU kit that plugs straight into the ECU wiring loom socket, all cables and plugs are top quality and installation is just a matter of unplugging ECU cables and inserting the new unit into the ECU loom using the cables supplied.

what actual benefits did you find with this installed? Bushy

2003 RR Vogue Monté Carlo Blue

It adds approx 20% more bhp and torque. I can certainly vouch for the performance difference it made as when I bought the car I drove it for 2 to 3 days before fitting this unit and it made a significant difference to the performance for sure. I can't really comment on the fuel consumption as I did not run the car for long enough without it to compare, but from what I have read its supposed to improve this also so long as your not booting it around I guess. I had this on my car nearly as soon as I got it over 6 years ago. When I put it on the car it had about 50k on it. I just sold the car with a tad under 120k on it and never had any engine or gearbox issues with the car. All in all its a great unit in my opinion, and has the added benefit over ECU map in that you can interchange it between vehicles. You can also add a switch to it to enable or disable the unit, but never found the need for this as I much preferred the engine performance with the box installed.

Here is a link to the unit with more details and there are power graphs available in the pdf data sheet.

So only 1 opinion on value of this type of remap box. Thought I might have had a few more. Must admit I have looked around and can find no info as to second hand value myself.

I guess most folk just do the ECU software remap which has no resale value if you take it off.

Anyone else out there using the Steinbaeur performance upgrade module on a TD6?

I've got one of these chips too I'd sell as I'm in the process of doing the same?! Made the rr(3.0td6) a lot torqueier!!

Out of curiosity Jammer600 what did you pay for yours?

£105, think they're worth that!?

Ill sell mine if anyone's interested?!

Prop is your tuning box still for sale ?, I am interested and will you post to Australia.
