Is it ok to cable tie the cable to the fuel lines under the engine cover or is there another route? I have the 2.0 cdti engine.

I ran the cables to the tuning box around the far side the airbox and fixed the tuning box around the aircon tubing, sorry I cant find any pictures though

Did you get the car mapped?

Not quite. I was supposed to but the fella doing it couldn't write back to the ecu. I removed the tuning box because I ended up with the car in limp mode and had to take it to the dealer to sort out. (dpf pressure sensor) Decided not to put it back on.

I then changed the Racechip settings to E2 (power level 2) which made quite a difference. (extra fuel and boost) It ran fine for a few weeks but I think the extra fuelling impacted on the dpf/dpf sensor which ended up with the dealer replacing the sensor/reloading  the software, dpf  regeneration.

The bottom line is that yes I could well put the Racechip back to the standard settings and see if the limp mode happens again but I think I am done installing/removing the wiring harness for the sake of a few hp/lbft and increased risk

I never got any fault lights or issues with my two tuning boxes, but, the risk of something going wrong because of the boxes made me remove mine

I then bought a second car, which is much slower than the Astra, so when I drive the Astra it now feels pretty quick !
