Smile ADLA Module Setting

Hi All:
Just a quick question. I set my ADLA module one turn CCW (richer) from the original setting resulting in improved performance from a stop. (I read about this at another forum).
My question is: Is there any risk such as engine damage running this setting richer?
Thanks, Ron

In theory, yes.....any increase in fuel on a deisel increases the Exhaust gas Temp.....if that excedes 1,200 degress farenheit...pre turbo you can do damage. but if it doesn't then you are fine....thats why an EGT Pyrometer is important when you tweak a deisel.

Yes...it all depends on the pre adjustment settings.....odds are its underfueled due to age. But if its not and your adjustment bumps it into being overfueled then you have a problem.

Your N/A 240D?............not sure I have the Cojones to drive something that slow with the nuts around here. I see several but I need something faster myself.

Have you ever noticed that the slow polks are seldom in the crash's, it's the ones zooming down the road. When I drive the Jetta it's hard for me to keep it under 80 mph and enjoy the sights, the 240D now that's far more relaxing and driver friendly. The only reason for taking the Jetta on our road trip most of the time is 240D 31 mpg and Jetta 46 mpg average, 50% savings is hard to turn away from.
