The same seller also has adverts for his super device that is apparently also suitable for (wait for it) the Bijou, Dynne, LNA... and Light 15.

That can't be true! Everybody knows that the the light fifteen ECU uses valves.
(On the 2CV and Dyane of course, seasoned tuners adjust the hairspring.)

Since this mod consists of a resistor which alters the signal from the air flow sensor, it would probably work - to a certain extent (in fact his type of mod is very common within the VW-world) - however, you could acheive the same results by just putting a resistor in series with the airflow meter (for about 15p from Maplins) - and get the same sort of customer service (i.e. none!).
I've yet to see a 2CV with EFI, or even MFI for that matter.
The seller even explains why you shouldn't buy his product!
quote: You have probably heard of performance eprom chips (Superchips, BBR Starchip etc). These chips consist of a stock computer program that has been altered to inject more fuel into the engine under acceleration. Timing curves are commonly also adjusted consequently. These chips can be found to be quite effective, but are also very expensive - costing normally from £200 up to £1500 ! they also require plenty of time, specialist tools and occassionally soldering to fit.
I'd rather pay for the time of someone who really knows what hey are doing than risk my engine with one of these tricks.
