LDV Diesel Performance Tuning & Servicing
LDV has become one of the fastest-growing diesel brands on Australian work sites and driveways, with the T60 and T60 Max utes and the Deliver 9 and G10 vans offering serious capability at a sharp price point. Under the badge sits SAIC engineering: the early T60 used a 2.8-litre SC28R single-turbo diesel, while the current T60 Max runs a modern 2.0-litre bi-turbo four-cylinder. They are honest, hard-working engines, but like every Euro-emissions diesel sold here they carry an EGR, a DPF and, on later models, an AdBlue SCR system that all need the right care.
At Willy’s Workshop we work on LDV diesels every week across both of our Queensland sites, so we understand how these drivetrains behave when they are towing at the 3.5-tonne limit, sitting in suburban traffic, or racking up commercial kilometres in a Deliver 9. The factory ECU calibration on these vehicles is conservative and built for a global market, which leaves real, measurable room to sharpen throttle response, smooth out turbo lag and lift mid-range torque without pushing the engine past safe limits.
Whether you want a dyno-verified performance tune to make your T60 Max feel like the ute it should have been, or you simply need a proper diesel service and an EGR or DPF sorted out, our LDV work is done in-house by diesel specialists. We tune on the factory ECU, log real data and back every result with a road or dyno verification, not guesswork.

What will your LDV make?
Pick your model to see typical gains from a Willys Workshop tune.
Indicative gains on a stock vehicle, measured on a dyno at the engine (crank) — wheel power reads lower (typically 15–20% on a 4WD). Actual results vary with vehicle condition, fuel quality and modifications.
Indicative rear-wheel (dyno) figures with switchable maps, emissions intact. Actual results vary with vehicle condition, fuel quality and modifications.
Why choose Willy’s for your LDV
Performance Tuning
Custom, dyno-verified ECU tuning for the T60, T60 Max and Deliver 9 — developed in-house on your actual vehicle.
- Custom-developed tunes for the 2.0-litre bi-turbo T60 Max, the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel Deliver 9 and the earlier 2.8-litre SC28R T60 — written and validated on the factory ECU rather than loaded from a generic file.
- Targeted gains in mid-range torque and throttle sharpness — the difference you actually feel when towing, loaded or merging — with every change logged and dyno or road verified.
- Calibration tailored to how the vehicle is used, from a Deliver 9 doing daily commercial runs to a T60 Max set up for touring and towing near its 3.5-tonne braked limit.
- Safe, sensible limits on boost, fuel and exhaust temperatures so reliability and drivability are protected, not traded away for a bigger number.
Servicing & Repair
Full diesel servicing and repair for LDV utes and vans, including the emissions hardware that gives these engines the most trouble.
- Logbook-style servicing for the T60, T60 Max, Deliver 9 and G10 — engine oil and filters, fuel and air filtration, plus AdBlue checks on Euro 6 models that require it.
- EGR diagnosis, cleaning and repair — these LDV engines are well known for EGR valve and cooler carbon build-up that causes rough idle, hard starting and limp-mode events.
- DPF inspection, forced regeneration and cleaning for vehicles doing short, low-speed suburban running that never lets the filter regenerate properly.
- Turbo, intercooler and boost-system work, including split intercooler pipes and boost-pressure sensor faults that commonly trip the MIL and restrict RPM on the G10 and T60.
