Just bought a couple new VWs and I am looking forward to tuning them both once the tune is out in a couple of weeks. Never had an issue and a tune was the BEST thing I ever did to enhance the driving pleasure of my car(s). So, this is MY experience on MY personal cars. IF you maintain and keep your car well serviced, you will not have any issues. I had my car for many years and whenever there was a recall or any flashing needed to be done on the car, it was no problem at all. Without it, you will get the occasional "break" in the changing of gears with the DSG. One thing you want to consider when doing this tune is getting a FLASH done for the DSG. And I can tell you this car hauled like a FREIGHT train! Once you got into the higher REVS, the power was SENSATIONAL! It left my leg shaking! Some Infinitys/BMW/Mercedes would look very surprised when I would keep up with them and then pass them. The tune came in to effect in the higher REV bands. That being said, let me tell you about the joys of my tune. When I floored the pedal, my mileage suffered (not extremely though). I experienced saving diesel when I drove my car reasonably. Aggressive driving means you burn more Diesel, easy driving means you pretty much save diesel. Now, depending on how you drive, you will either save or burn diesel. Naturally, you get turbo lab, tires screeching off the line (due to the power increase). My tune pushed the HP to 175 and the TORQUE to 331. The standard hp on the car was 140hp and torque was 236. I have had a tune on 2 of my diesels, one was a VW Golf TDI, and the other was my 2012 VW Jetta TDI. This is my 8th Volkswagen I am owning now. I just read your post, 3 years later, however, it is never too late. If you want safety take it to a dyno where then can actually monitor your actual afr, knock and other useful parameters.
Again, from personal experience I'm not aware of anyone being denied warranty for aftermarket tuning but that's not to suggest it hasn't happened. You also have the option of flashing your original tune back if needed. I don't have experience with VW but have done plenty of GM cars.
ECU TUNING VW SOFTWARE
With regards to flagging, I know some manufacturers have been threatening to do this but you'll be surprised that most dealers are not equipped with the software to do an analysis of your ecm everytime you take it in for an oil change or some warranty work. Avoid the 'chips' on ebay, take it to a knowledgable tuner or send your ecm off to a reputable shop. Torque is what matters more out in the real world but beside the point. If he wants to go all out then Unitronic can also custom map for him on a dyno but all this is not going to be like 500.00 dollars.Īgree with most of the above. It is not just buying a remapped chip for the VW, he actually will need to find a tuner like Unitronic in montreal, hook up his car and depending on what stage the OP wants to aim for, they will either burn whatever stage performance upgrade. The ones that work are OBD2 programming modules, they are generally expensive and in fact will void the warranty.įord chip tuning and VW chip tuning for the OP is not the same. if that were true manufacturers would be sticking them in every vehicle for. I have customers that bring me resistor type chips they got from ebay and the like that claim to add 30HP and 20% better fuel economy. Truth be told most of them are snake oil.

What makes these cars get up and boogie is the torque, I've built numerous Ford (international) diesels that make around 400hp but turn out almost 1000ft/lbs of torque. When you are looking at a Diesel engine, horsepower will always be low. If you dont care about the warranty then do it up! There are lots of ways to get more power out of a diesel, head shaving, bigger turbo's, EGR deletes, software etc. Most new cars will indeed secretly record all modifications to the computers default programming so even if you were to remove an OBD2 tuning module before service you would be screwed when it comes to warranty. The ones that work are OBD2 programming modules, they are generally expensive and in fact will void the warranty. Well, as a certified technician (Ford) I highly suggest you avoid ECU "chips".
