The 1.9 TD's can't be chipped but you can adjust the mechanical fueling on the pumps.

Have a search on the forum.

there is a needle lift sensor inside the injector with the wire,it just lets the ECU know when injection starts so that it can alter the timing as needed.

It's still a mechanical injection system, so the same rules apply. There are still people around (I think np had his old Xantia done) who can tweak the 1.9TD to get a few more BHP and lb/ft, and more economy!

Thats right Phil,i had my previous Xantia TD done.115 bhp,185 lbft torque.It cost £385 in 2002 from www.vanaaken.com
It was still running fine after 60k odd miles.SteveG has it now.
I know from this forum that if you have a bit of know how,you can do the mods your self.Its all adjustments on the feul pump.Although i expect there are places out there that can do it cheaper.
I made a good deal of difference to mine,much better pull through the gears etc,& mpg improved slightly.

I can vouch for NP's comments. It's really quite rapid from pull away and in the dreaded 50 - 70mph (overtaking) zone. :D
