Hi from the sunny north east. (-3 today, spring is in the air..)


Just thought i'd introduce myself, I'm picking up my new orlando LTZ exec.pack at the weekend.


I do have a question already though.


Does anyone know if the reversing camera from the new captiva could be retro fitted to the orlando? Wouldit interface with the sat nav?

 

[Iain R]

Welcome to the site Iain.
Thanks very much.
You're welcome, have you got you new chevrolet yet?
Yes I collected my new Orlando on saturday and it's very nice.

What a friendly bunch!

welcome mate

Sorry, nope the reversing camera on the Captiva can not be used on orlando. There is no video input on the Orlando sat nav.

Welcome Iain. Hope you enjoy your Orlando. Let us know how you get on with it.

 

[Iain R]

Thanks guys, shame about the lack of video feed on the sat nav. The Orlando is great but it would appear the fuel consumption figures in the brochure are a bit optimistic.
I'm considering a DTUK chip box tuning thingy. Apparently kicks the bhp to 198 but does anyone have any experience of the drivability and fuel economy?

Hi Iain,

I had a DTUK box on my 2.0D Captiva.Drive-abilityand power and torque were better, but consumption was worse, and I'm not a hard driver. I would recommend a remap rather than a box, and if you want good performance and better power, get the DPF removed as part of this.

Thanks mate that sounds like good advice.

Hi Iain. Mine is the 130 diesel & I wouldn't mind getting it remapped, but would this not invalidate the warranty?

 

[Iain R]

No idea Bill,
Someone told me that if you have a remap then as soon as the dealer plugs in the diagnostic gadget thing itwipes it out... That can't be right surely.

Any way I'm not sure what my insurance would have to say.. It's all just ideas at the minute. I'm hoping for more information from members of this forum before I commit.

 

[bill2503]

Mmmmm. If you're right about what happens when diagnostic plugged in then it would be a lot of money down the drain. Must find out. Ah, I'd forgotten about the insurance aspect.

 

[bigiainw]

Mine is out of warranty, hence why I'm going there. Most companies, if they're decent will restore a lost map if that happens at no charge or at travel cost.
