@@MrTopielec really, it's just a stage 1 and stage 2. Stage 1 is basically a settings change in a standard car. Adapting air/fuel ratios, timings, egr cycles etc. Stage 2 is where you start fitting non standard parts and changing the settings to suit those parts. The reason some say stage 3/4 etc is because they are meant to happen as you modify your car further. They will be highly customised and require live tweaking. Really though, if you took a standard car, fitted lots of non standard parts, you would jump straight to a "stage 2" although it would be somebody else's 3 or 4 for example. Stages also help tuning firms fire realistic prices and service estimates to potential customers. A 1 for stock. A 2 for performance exhaust, air system. A 3 for upgraded injectors or performance turbo. A 4 for a completely rebuilt engine, custom turbo, other electronic control systems.
Just to get rid of regen and dpf don’t need a dyno unless ur want to start making power even then on these if you data log with VCDS you can get it running pretty good just of the EGT’s
When I got mine done it was explained to me that when the car leaves the factory the tune is for all fuel types etc around the world. Tuning it to your regions fuel needs. Better quality of fuel with a specific tune is better than a wide open tune for places with less quality from the pumps.
@@BWTV Loving this video. I am ten years with a 2004 A3 TDI 140 hp and love it. At 148k miles and runs like new, burns no oil at all. Great solid bodywork, finish and fit, easy controls, handles and brakes great.
Yes. With the correct derestriction-removals..i.e. DPF/EGR and an economical-map/or "ECO-Map", can see an decent/average say 170 bhp engine, sensibly mapped to around 228bhp averaging a good 50+ break more, with the extra torque to go with it. Then just beef the diff up, to plant that extra torque to the floor and eliminate the dreaded torque-steer and spin....The engine-fault-code will continue until the DPF is "actually" removed. Thats the idea with them being fitted, so the computer fucks up the performance, limp-mode etc....The map will then sort out the computer problem(s)....My mate had an Audi 2.0 TDI..he had a boost-leak problem. Upgrade your boost-hose to a silicone one. I had an Astra-SRI-TDI-Xpack. It had been DPF/EGR removed and mapped, and with or without the "sport-mode" on, mate..it shifted....:)....
Is it worth remapping any car? Yes. No matter how much (or how little) the power increases, people don't realise how much more driveable and aggressive the car feels afterwards. Only thing is, mapped diesels eat clutches.
It was right under 300 PS so I got 55PS more. I have to say the car was absolutly perfect to drive. It was so agile! This was a dream! Now I will do it with an 2.0l
Did a custom remap on 2018 A4 Avant 2.0 TDI (150HP model - actual 160HP at the front wheels) last year. The car still sounds normal (kept the idle rev limiter). Kept the torque to 410Nm (was 320Nm) as the clutch is rated to only 420Nm. Power at the front wheels is now 180HP (estimated to be about 210HP at the crank). Fuel efficiency is about 10% better and can pull smoothly in fourth gear from 35kph (was 55kph) and in sixth gear from about 65kph. V-max was a real 205kph (way less than Audi claim), now a real 225kph (indicated 235kph) - tyres were Continental EcoComfort 225R17-50. No additional tyre wear seen since custom remap. Pre-custom tune (standard tune) resulted in 190HP and 445Nm at the front wheels - custom tune made it 'drivable' across the entire rev range.
I'm into TDI cars for work and we have 3 ....two mk4 and one B5.5 But what I thought was cool was we both have Corrado VR6's I've had mine for about 20 years! Cheers mate!
Got mine done and its now a beast on the road, 228bhp, fuel economy is similar, but as I live in the highlands and fuel stations are few and far between, and constantly having to go past Camper vans, other than a TTS its the fastest thing ive ever driven, this car works for me, and can keep up with a Porsche up to 3000 revs, but as a Quattro I dont slow for corners, thats where I catch them
Adaptation, just like some cars run kind of rough and have to relearn how to idle stably after the battery is disconnected. Has to learn about elevation, air density etc. And it will adapt slightly to driving style too
Remapped my 320d e92 177bhp to 226bhp. 0-60 5.5 sec. Such a lovely beast. Planning for next car. If its. F10 66reg 525d 8V A3 2018/19 2.0tdi quattro C7 A6 2017/18 2.0tdi quattro C7 A6 2017/18 BiTDI
Once I got my 2.0 tfsi remapped (Revo) I noticed I got better mpg, but I suspect it's also because the cars is more powerful and you know it is, so you drive a bit slower unless you wanna cane it haha
Well ,i looked up for a stage 1 for my a4 b7 ,140hp 2.0tdi. They claim better mpg ,because they change how the car rpm is going up ,and the torque response. (It's not stage1 yet)
I did all of this with some Chinese KESS V2 by myself without any prior knowledge. DPF delete, EGR delete, Swirl Flap delete all done by me and car has been running 100.000km without a single fault. LOL
Bet it's the vac box (n75) thewy go all the time, and I've seen it cause the mid-range boost levels to drop, but nice to see the guy actually was logging after flashing the file and not just sending you on your way
Yes, worth getting a vac gauge and T'ing into the pipe. Not everything can be done with a laptop, some sensors report a duty cycle, but it doesn't mean that it's actually happening.
Is this to do with the timing angles of the cams? Just done a quick Google of your comment as I don't 100% understand it, is this effecting performance? 👍
@@BWTV Yes the torsion is basically injectors timing as its done through the cams on PD engines, if its out of spec you lose power and economy, you want to get it to someone who knows what there doing with it to sort it
@@insidebyte8561 a watched a TH-cam video and done it my self with a Autel a200 and a 13mm spanner and 18mm spanner and a got it bang on never done anything like that in my life must have took me 45mins to get it perfect and av never heard it run so sweet till a adjusted my cam
@@BWTV Easy enough job but takes some luck and patience, adjust in tiny tiny amounts. Worth checking that the 18mm bolts are tight before you start (100Nm), torque spec for the 13mm bolts is 25Nm. Get the readings with all power consumers off and a warm engine. If the engine torque figure in block 15 drops much below 28Nm you get a rough idle, aim for 30Nm which should show 0.6l/min. Inlet side cam is torsion (block 4), exhaust side is consumption (block 15). Can't remember if you've mentioned when the belt was changed, if any doubt get a kit and change it, not such a hard job.
@@BWTV glad to help anytime. Drop me an email if you wanna collab on a detailing video at some point mate 👍 be cool to collab with a channel I watch myself .
I’m getting a 3.0 and going for eco remap, makes more sense than risking clutch and flywheel changes/ paying for uprated ones and cheaper to insure an eco map than performance usually
I see so many people blocking off or disabling the EGR and still leaving the DPF in place and all I think is it won't be long till your in the garage with a blocked DPF haha.
Be aware of those siemens injectors on your pd170. Very prone to issues. Find out if they replaced under warranty for the revised ones (still not solid ones like bosch injectors, but they do hold up better then the original ones). Had loads of issues with mine, swapped injectors 3times under warranty. And with all honesty, if nothing is happening before 2000rpm, something's not right. That bv43 turbo spools pretty quick, although I mapped it (myself and not in a car park) I have full boost at 1950rpm
Check with the dealership, the injectors should have been swapped under warranty by now, but if not, have them do it. And be aware of the "labor costs" that they sometimes try to charge, there is a warranty call for the injectors, airbag module and some other stuff I don't remember, so it's 100% free of charge. Other thing that curses those BRD engines is the oil pump. It's just terribly unreliable. Keep a close eye to the oil pressure, if it drops, time to swap the pump. It's a gearbox out job just to remove the sump... and do go for the 2000£ same shitty and expensive pump, use the one from the 1.9tdi pd130, super easy to install and no more oil pressure issues ever again.
Well you can but you dont really need it. My A6 C7 is 177bhp but after stage 1 remap it went to 230. The good thing with remaping disel is getting more juice just from a tune than you would get from a petrol.
My man i have also a b7 2.0 TDI 140 ps and i was Having the same Issue with the motor shaking and replace the motor mounts and still was shaking and after that i go to a mechanik and he found out that a injector its bad and need to replace
Hi Brad, get a metal inlet manifold I had similar hesitation issues on my old pd170 , the plastic ones are prone to the flaps sticking and also leaking boost out the bottom left hand side out of the actuator arm which controls the flaps 👍 youl notice the car run better , darkside sells complete kits for around 100 money well spent
@@BWTV they are off the early pd140 engines , good oem+ upgrade its be a fit and forget part , I bet if your in around 3rd/4th gear and put the engine under full throttle load from low rpm youl get a minor power stutter which seems like the traction cutting in but no light flashing, if so this will cure if 👍💪
You don't need to remove DPF after blocking EGR. Those are not related. The ecu will pour fuel into the exhaust to regenerate. Codes are from blocking the EGR.
@@BWTV Mine is deleted completely and physically removed and it does regen like normal. But when you delete EGR you need to code it. You can't just start pulling lines and hoses off the motor and hope for the best.
Ive q 140 gt tdi and im telling u its running 190 all day with just a good mapp.unbemivalbe power all way through.however ive heard a small whine whistle from turbo when its cold.holing its had a upgraded one and just spinning up
Before boosting those soot machine you need to clean it back to original minimum . All the intake runner are full of crap to the valve . It minimum need in my opinion a top end rebuild to say its worthy. I did start by exhaust , intake and cleaning already and it feel 2x more powerful already 🤪
Just a computer program being adjusted to the software installed on your Ecu computer , you can do it on a mountain or in detroit you can even do on a English farm whilst banging a chick on the back seat what difference does it make the vehicle sounded better and the codes went away so good on him I don’t like haters and jealous minded and nosey bastards like u
you think your boost is holding flat at 2500mbar? It is because you have a 2500mbar map sensor, those logs for boost that he is looking at tell you nothing..just looks good. The turbo didn't sound great to me.. most people that tune these just decalibrate TQ-IQ duration add some boost, they don't recalibrate VNT which is why you will get the turbo spiking..as I said you can't see from the logs that he done.
Watching this makes me want to get rid of my diesel and I then find myself looking at YT videos of Clio RS.. But then I soon after also come to a conclusion that it's better to just have a diesel :'D Although the diesels can really be a pain in the ass when it comes to EGRs and DPFs :S Can't wait to see what will happen in the next video :D Thumbs up
@@dawidtf Oh nice! :D But well.. How should I say that.. I guess a diesel is kind of "safe space" when buying a used car, because you know the gasoline sport cars are often driven quite hard which means there is a certain amount of premature wear to the engine and just mechanical stuff in general, thats just my opinion tho xD I still would have a proper gassoline car, for the sake of sound and simplicity, none of them DPF, EGR issues xD Now I'm not saying I'm not having fun with a 2.0 TDI scirocco, but still xD
Does remapping a tdi worth it? OF COURSE IT DOES! My golf 6 tdi went from 110hp(115 measured) to 188hp on stage 1. Planning to gut the dpf, dunno how much I'll gain but I'll do it for the reliability.
Awesome video. Is it possible for you to make a buyers guide and thinks to look for when purchasing one of these super interested in purchasing one in the next couple months but don’t know what price range to set and things to look out for
If you polybush the snub Mount, don’t get Yellow, mine last 2 weeks, get the red one. I have black and the dash rattles. Also, if your mapping it make sure you convert to 1.9 chain driven oil pump. Mine stripped the hex key and killed the turbo. £2000 later it’s back running at just shy of 240bhp
Really 🤣 why does a new engine mount have to be a complicated buy 😮 will have to fit this yellow one and if it goes I'll buy the red, thanks man 👌 And this engine has had its balance shaft/hex key upgraded with supposedly lifetime warranty. I'll find the company and message to see if it's safe for the map 👍

Well that was a great interesting insightful video 🤙🏻but a quick question for you , I got a 2.0 tdi 140bhp b6 engine put into a Chrysler , I was wondering if there's a point getting a stage one remap, and if there is, do you know what kinda gains I would be pulling from it??
I had a stage 1 done today on my q5 2.0 tdi 197 bhp. Is it normal for Reverse gear to be stupidly quick. My wife reversed out of our drive this afternoon and it shot out of the drive.. far too responsive. Maybe it’s something we’ll get used to
2.2 D4D is a shite engine before remapping put any more stress on it and it’ll overheat and crack the head like all the other 2.2s Toyotas worst engine
My dad fitted the super pro dog bone bush on his Leon fr. it was a insert, lasted a week before he removed it. All vibrations from the engine seem to transfer to the cabin especially when idle. Hopefully you won’t have the same issue as that bush you have looks abit different
any issues with your clutch after having it done.. im thinking about doing the same with mine but dont want to remap it and have a slipping clutch after
How can say boost pressure is ok since log say 2601 all way around? :)) That is a diagnostic limit, boost can be anywhere above 2601 mbar and you`ll not know :))
Is it worth remapping? Technically yes. BUT THERE is more Is it Street-legal (depends very much on where you drive your car) If it is street-legal did you get it insured? (in germany almost 50% of the insurance companies do not insure power modified cars evenif they are street-legal) If you get it insured usually to very high increases on an already in comparison expensive insurance. Usually it is much cheaper to buy the highest motorization instead of buying a weaker one and to remap it. In the past (times of the 1Z or AFN) it was different, usually you just have to put the remap to the papers inform your insurance company and everything was fine without any increase in your insurance. But this times are gone since years.
I've just had a stage 2 hybrid turbo fitted in my 2.0 TDI quattro. Had a remap but I have oil pressure light flashing and in limp mode at the moment. The coil light is on and idling at 1100rpm and sounds louder than it originally sounded. It's had a EGR delete but I think the dpf is still in it. I've been told that it's just the oil pressure switch. I will have that done. But is there any thoughts as to why it's idling higher than it used to.

remapping a 2.0 TDI totally worth it. My brothers Caddy went from 105hp to 173hp with a stage 1 remap
Damn that's a huge difference!
Thats nuts🤮🔥
What is stage 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 ?
@@MrTopielec different stages of remap, stage 1 you don’t need to touch anything on the inside, 2/3/4 you need to start changing stuff
@@MrTopielec really, it's just a stage 1 and stage 2.
Stage 1 is basically a settings change in a standard car. Adapting air/fuel ratios, timings, egr cycles etc.
Stage 2 is where you start fitting non standard parts and changing the settings to suit those parts.
The reason some say stage 3/4 etc is because they are meant to happen as you modify your car further.
They will be highly customised and require live tweaking.
Really though, if you took a standard car, fitted lots of non standard parts, you would jump straight to a "stage 2" although it would be somebody else's 3 or 4 for example.
Stages also help tuning firms fire realistic prices and service estimates to potential customers.
A 1 for stock.
A 2 for performance exhaust, air system.
A 3 for upgraded injectors or performance turbo.
A 4 for a completely rebuilt engine, custom turbo, other electronic control systems.
that dude looked janky id never tune like that wtf
Remap in a car park 👌 who needs dyno 🤣
Its proven to works, almoust all 2.0 tdis are pretty much the same
Heck yeah
Remap pull logs, remap again. You just be new here
Just to get rid of regen and dpf don’t need a dyno unless ur want to start making power even then on these if you data log with VCDS you can get it running pretty good just of the EGT’s
@@jason21jburgI never seen your comment but yeh if you know. You know
got a tune on my a4 2,0 TDI quattro, went from 140 hp 320 Nm to 180hp and 410 nm
Brilliant video. Love this information. Didn’t know a map could improve MPG and power figures at the same time
Thanks mate! Appreciated ❤️
When I got mine done it was explained to me that when the car leaves the factory the tune is for all fuel types etc around the world. Tuning it to your regions fuel needs. Better quality of fuel with a specific tune is better than a wide open tune for places with less quality from the pumps.
@@BWTV Loving this video. I am ten years with a 2004 A3 TDI 140 hp and love it. At 148k miles and runs like new, burns no oil at all. Great solid bodywork, finish and fit, easy controls, handles and brakes great.
@@daithilacha1have it remap then the problems will start 😂
Actually this is my plan too in the future, good to hear you are satisfied with the remap.
Big like from Hungary!
Thank you mate glad you enjoy! You'll have fun with yours 👌
Yes. With the correct derestriction-removals..i.e. DPF/EGR and an economical-map/or "ECO-Map", can see an decent/average say 170 bhp engine, sensibly mapped to around 228bhp averaging a good 50+ break more, with the extra torque to go with it. Then just beef the diff up, to plant that extra torque to the floor and eliminate the dreaded torque-steer and spin....The engine-fault-code will continue until the DPF is "actually" removed. Thats the idea with them being fitted, so the computer fucks up the performance, limp-mode etc....The map will then sort out the computer problem(s)....My mate had an Audi 2.0 TDI..he had a boost-leak problem. Upgrade your boost-hose to a silicone one. I had an Astra-SRI-TDI-Xpack. It had been DPF/EGR removed and mapped, and with or without the "sport-mode" on, mate..it shifted....:)....
Sounds more then I imagined then! May have to get it on the Dyno to see what it's at...
Silicone hoses sounds a good next investment 👌
@@BWTV Yes buddy..go for a full silicone-hose-kit..Sponsored of course:)....
Is it worth remapping any car? Yes. No matter how much (or how little) the power increases, people don't realise how much more driveable and aggressive the car feels afterwards. Only thing is, mapped diesels eat clutches.
My audi a5 2012 3.0 tdi with 220.000 km mapped 6 months ago and now after 10.000km I can put my car into the waste bin! Gear box left the chat!
It was right under 300 PS so I got 55PS more. I have to say the car was absolutly perfect to drive. It was so agile! This was a dream! Now I will do it with an 2.0l
@@michalsoldat8548 it ruined ur car but you'll do it to another car?
@@michalsoldat8548 put another gearbox in...upgrade the clutch
This was a great video because someone who didn't know what mapping is can now get it and will probably map mine. THANK YOU
Did a custom remap on 2018 A4 Avant 2.0 TDI (150HP model - actual 160HP at the front wheels) last year. The car still sounds normal (kept the idle rev limiter). Kept the torque to 410Nm (was 320Nm) as the clutch is rated to only 420Nm. Power at the front wheels is now 180HP (estimated to be about 210HP at the crank). Fuel efficiency is about 10% better and can pull smoothly in fourth gear from 35kph (was 55kph) and in sixth gear from about 65kph. V-max was a real 205kph (way less than Audi claim), now a real 225kph (indicated 235kph) - tyres were Continental EcoComfort 225R17-50. No additional tyre wear seen since custom remap. Pre-custom tune (standard tune) resulted in 190HP and 445Nm at the front wheels - custom tune made it 'drivable' across the entire rev range.
I'm into TDI cars for work and we have 3 ....two mk4 and one B5.5
But what I thought was cool was we both have Corrado VR6's I've had mine for about 20 years!
Cheers mate!
The snub mount is called an anti torque mount. It stops the engine lifting up, under power
Do a stage 2 i would myself, you still gonna get that mileage because your lowdown torque increases...
Stage 2 is the way 👀🔥
Got mine done and its now a beast on the road, 228bhp, fuel economy is similar, but as I live in the highlands and fuel stations are few and far between, and constantly having to go past Camper vans, other than a TTS its the fastest thing ive ever driven, this car works for me, and can keep up with a Porsche up to 3000 revs, but as a Quattro I dont slow for corners, thats where I catch them
BS man
Dream on
How is it going
Oh Brad, a year after the Golf's gone and you're still having boost leaks. I think the Golf has a spell on you for life haha.
🤣🤣 feels that way!
Isn’t a VAG car without a boost leak and a check engine light!😂
So its not reliable doing remaps on Tdi and gas or just tdi?
I up u oui i
Officially never heard of it taking 10 miles for a map to have power,
Me neither! But thats seemed to have been what happened 😅
@@BWTV car learns itself again thats why after a few drives it gets better and better it is a thing im a tuner myself ✅
Adaptation, just like some cars run kind of rough and have to relearn how to idle stably after the battery is disconnected. Has to learn about elevation, air density etc. And it will adapt slightly to driving style too
To anyone reading this...
I had a 1.6 Turbo (Z16LET) Same as meriva vxr and corsa vxr MK5 astra remapped and i can confirm this is somwhat accurate.
Adaption in the ECU. It’s real
Remapped my 320d e92 177bhp to 226bhp.
0-60 5.5 sec. Such a lovely beast.
Planning for next car. If its.
F10 66reg 525d
8V A3 2018/19 2.0tdi quattro
C7 A6 2017/18 2.0tdi quattro
C7 A6 2017/18 BiTDI
Once I got my 2.0 tfsi remapped (Revo) I noticed I got better mpg, but I suspect it's also because the cars is more powerful and you know it is, so you drive a bit slower unless you wanna cane it haha
Yeah that's probably it 😂
Well ,i looked up for a stage 1 for my a4 b7 ,140hp 2.0tdi. They claim better mpg ,because they change how the car rpm is going up ,and the torque response. (It's not stage1 yet)
Good job.
In the States we just put regular pipes on rather than cutting and welding turds.
If you do polybush it don’t use the yellow ones as said also get the idle increased to lower the vibration
Is it really that bad? I'll have to put it in and see...
@@BWTV I’d recommend the red ones. The yellow are the hardest it’ll rattle everything you’ve got in the car x10
I did all of this with some Chinese KESS V2 by myself without any prior knowledge. DPF delete, EGR delete, Swirl Flap delete all done by me and car has been running 100.000km without a single fault. LOL
Nice Audi go seat Leon mk2 cr fr 170 dpf delete and egr blank off and map running 23bhp 455nm love it now
Bet it's the vac box (n75) thewy go all the time, and I've seen it cause the mid-range boost levels to drop, but nice to see the guy actually was logging after flashing the file and not just sending you on your way
Yes, worth getting a vac gauge and T'ing into the pipe. Not everything can be done with a laptop, some sensors report a duty cycle, but it doesn't mean that it's actually happening.
Sweet cheers guys, I'll look into this
Had a shaking was driveshaft .snub mount easy diy .three allens key job ...idle on mine was blocked egr causing maf fault
adjust your torsion values on you cam adjuster 0.0 kw and 0.6l/ph
Is this to do with the timing angles of the cams? Just done a quick Google of your comment as I don't 100% understand it, is this effecting performance? 👍
@@BWTV Yes the torsion is basically injectors timing as its done through the cams on PD engines, if its out of spec you lose power and economy, you want to get it to someone who knows what there doing with it to sort it
Only a problem if you’ve had your cambelt done and it’s slightly out after.
@@insidebyte8561 a watched a TH-cam video and done it my self with a Autel a200 and a 13mm spanner and 18mm spanner and a got it bang on never done anything like that in my life must have took me 45mins to get it perfect and av never heard it run so sweet till a adjusted my cam
@@BWTV Easy enough job but takes some luck and patience, adjust in tiny tiny amounts. Worth checking that the 18mm bolts are tight before you start (100Nm), torque spec for the 13mm bolts is 25Nm. Get the readings with all power consumers off and a warm engine. If the engine torque figure in block 15 drops much below 28Nm you get a rough idle, aim for 30Nm which should show 0.6l/min. Inlet side cam is torsion (block 4), exhaust side is consumption (block 15). Can't remember if you've mentioned when the belt was changed, if any doubt get a kit and change it, not such a hard job.
That little lag at 3k RPM could be the turbo when it's changing its vtg shovels. I think.
Never heard of vtg shovel change. 🤦♂️
The vaines in den turbo variate it's angle all the time. They don't change.
It's probaly an injector or the fuel pump
It’s the gearbox mount mate rear one that’s the shaking 👍🏻 any other issues let me know I own 3 of these 🤣
Oh ffs your joking 🤣 I'll take a look in a few days 😭
@@BWTV glad to help anytime. Drop me an email if you wanna collab on a detailing video at some point mate 👍 be cool to collab with a channel I watch myself .
The 3.0 can get 45mpg easy and is 230 bhp standard. Just got one and its cheaper to insurer than my 170 special edition
I’m getting a 3.0 and going for eco remap, makes more sense than risking clutch and flywheel changes/ paying for uprated ones and cheaper to insure an eco map than performance usually
I see so many people blocking off or disabling the EGR and still leaving the DPF in place and all I think is it won't be long till your in the garage with a blocked DPF haha.
Why would a removed egr block the dpf?
Be aware of those siemens injectors on your pd170.
Very prone to issues.
Find out if they replaced under warranty for the revised ones (still not solid ones like bosch injectors, but they do hold up better then the original ones).
Had loads of issues with mine, swapped injectors 3times under warranty.
And with all honesty, if nothing is happening before 2000rpm, something's not right.
That bv43 turbo spools pretty quick, although I mapped it (myself and not in a car park) I have full boost at 1950rpm
Check with the dealership, the injectors should have been swapped under warranty by now, but if not, have them do it. And be aware of the "labor costs" that they sometimes try to charge, there is a warranty call for the injectors, airbag module and some other stuff I don't remember, so it's 100% free of charge.
Other thing that curses those BRD engines is the oil pump. It's just terribly unreliable. Keep a close eye to the oil pressure, if it drops, time to swap the pump. It's a gearbox out job just to remove the sump... and do go for the 2000£ same shitty and expensive pump, use the one from the 1.9tdi pd130, super easy to install and no more oil pressure issues ever again.
Be careful of the 1st gear launch cause the dual mass will shit itself
Well you can but you dont really need it. My A6 C7 is 177bhp but after stage 1 remap it went to 230. The good thing with remaping disel is getting more juice just from a tune than you would get from a petrol.
Smart guy very interesting I hate dirty diesels yet I still buy them 🙄
My man i have also a b7 2.0 TDI 140 ps and i was Having the same Issue with the motor shaking and replace the motor mounts and still was shaking and after that i go to a mechanik and he found out that a injector its bad and need to replace
She’s got the power now mate
A little extra but it's gone a long way 👌
I have a stage 1 on my 2012 Leon fr + 2.0tdi & didn’t get rid of the dpf, only do it if you getting stage 2+
Car park remaps...... no comment, but your mpg is about right for the older PD engines
Hi Brad, get a metal inlet manifold I had similar hesitation issues on my old pd170 , the plastic ones are prone to the flaps sticking and also leaking boost out the bottom left hand side out of the actuator arm which controls the flaps 👍 youl notice the car run better , darkside sells complete kits for around 100 money well spent
Haven't heard of this before but I'm gonna look into it now! 👌
@@BWTV they are off the early pd140 engines , good oem+ upgrade its be a fit and forget part , I bet if your in around 3rd/4th gear and put the engine under full throttle load from low rpm youl get a minor power stutter which seems like the traction cutting in but no light flashing, if so this will cure if 👍💪
@@leet7031 perfect advice. Swirl flaps are a cmmon problem on the 170s
If you were nearer you could always have a go in mine and see what you think.
You don't need to remove DPF after blocking EGR. Those are not related. The ecu will pour fuel into the exhaust to regenerate. Codes are from blocking the EGR.
If the egr is deleted completely and not plugged in like mine, it won't regen... Ask me how I know 😂
@@BWTV Mine is deleted completely and physically removed and it does regen like normal. But when you delete EGR you need to code it. You can't just start pulling lines and hoses off the motor and hope for the best.
Turbo is close to the end.Injectors too....
Rather than remap i would fix it first.
Shouldn't really be laggy below 2k revs. When you put your foot down keep it above 2k otherwise you will kill the clutch
Ofcourse, just saying it because that's what it's like I don't plant my foot that low down 😅
Ive q 140 gt tdi and im telling u its running 190 all day with just a good mapp.unbemivalbe power all way through.however ive heard a small whine whistle from turbo when its cold.holing its had a upgraded one and just spinning up
Love how you dont incriminate yourselfs
Before boosting those soot machine you need to clean it back to original minimum . All the intake runner are full of crap to the valve . It minimum need in my opinion a top end rebuild to say its worthy. I did start by exhaust , intake and cleaning already and it feel 2x more powerful already 🤪
When you gutted the dpf did it smell bad from the exhaust
This car is looking amazing. Wonder what wheels you will be getting for the summer. Some tints for the rear Windows.
Rotors are the best wheels/look for this car to keep it OEM,i’ve stuck the deep concave ones on my A4 2.0tdi i daily
Downshifts remaps in a carpark 😂 good luck
Just a computer program being adjusted to the software installed on your Ecu computer , you can do it on a mountain or in detroit you can even do on a English farm whilst banging a chick on the back seat what difference does it make the vehicle sounded better and the codes went away so good on him I don’t like haters and jealous minded and nosey bastards like u
@@cassk9999 😆
Car park remap, lmfao RIP
You might get a lot of vibration with the poly mounts on a diesel
I'll see how bad it is and update in the next video 😬
Great content excellent effects
you think your boost is holding flat at 2500mbar? It is because you have a 2500mbar map sensor, those logs for boost that he is looking at tell you nothing..just looks good. The turbo didn't sound great to me.. most people that tune these just decalibrate TQ-IQ duration add some boost, they don't recalibrate VNT which is why you will get the turbo spiking..as I said you can't see from the logs that he done.
Your shake sounds like a carrier bearing on the prop shaft. ✌
Forgot you're front wheel drive, no prop shaft, oops my bad. Lol
Jas i have a a4 143pk its chipt 185 its very nice driver finally
Man is in Kingsbury. How is the remap now looking to get my a3 done
Watching this makes me want to get rid of my diesel and I then find myself looking at YT videos of Clio RS.. But then I soon after also come to a conclusion that it's better to just have a diesel :'D Although the diesels can really be a pain in the ass when it comes to EGRs and DPFs :S Can't wait to see what will happen in the next video :D Thumbs up
my gf just got a clio rs! lovely car more fun than any diesel lol
@@dawidtf Oh nice! :D But well.. How should I say that.. I guess a diesel is kind of "safe space" when buying a used car, because you know the gasoline sport cars are often driven quite hard which means there is a certain amount of premature wear to the engine and just mechanical stuff in general, thats just my opinion tho xD I still would have a proper gassoline car, for the sake of sound and simplicity, none of them DPF, EGR issues xD Now I'm not saying I'm not having fun with a 2.0 TDI scirocco, but still xD
Careful upgrading engine mounts, they can be really harsh.
Can't get the audi with the 2.0 tdi with the manual here in the Americas.😥
Does remapping a tdi worth it? OF COURSE IT DOES! My golf 6 tdi went from 110hp(115 measured) to 188hp on stage 1. Planning to gut the dpf, dunno how much I'll gain but I'll do it for the reliability.
Awesome video. Is it possible for you to make a buyers guide and thinks to look for when purchasing one of these super interested in purchasing one in the next couple months but don’t know what price range to set and things to look out for
I will do! Good thinking 👌
I think the answer is yes
Well I remapped my 320D and now it’s a M5 so I reckon yes lol
What lol
Turbo swap from 177hp cr is good idea no turbo lag and can full boost from 1500rpm
If you polybush the snub Mount, don’t get Yellow, mine last 2 weeks, get the red one. I have black and the dash rattles.
Also, if your mapping it make sure you convert to 1.9 chain driven oil pump. Mine stripped the hex key and killed the turbo. £2000 later it’s back running at just shy of 240bhp
Really 🤣 why does a new engine mount have to be a complicated buy 😮 will have to fit this yellow one and if it goes I'll buy the red, thanks man 👌
And this engine has had its balance shaft/hex key upgraded with supposedly lifetime warranty. I'll find the company and message to see if it's safe for the map 👍
I need to do this to my Jetta Sportwagen
Anything you need to know about that engine or anything vag diesel get on to darkside developments Brad best in Europe and world record holders of fwd diesel
I defo will get onto them then if I plan to take the car further 👍
@@BWTV they have got a TH-cam channel have a look at what weaponry they’ve got and what they do they bought my dads old a6 bi turbo diesel and building it but they got loads of projects on the go
MOT? insurance. I'll deffo do egr delete and remap if it's legal but is it? Don't want any aggro with either.
Quality video👀🔥
Thank you mate ❤️❤️
Well that was a great interesting insightful video 🤙🏻but a quick question for you , I got a 2.0 tdi 140bhp b6 engine put into a Chrysler , I was wondering if there's a point getting a stage one remap, and if there is, do you know what kinda gains I would be pulling from it??
You’d gain and extra 40bhp, assuming you have around 310nm of torque. Figured you’d be looking at is 180bhp 400nm torque
Just mapped one. Runs alot better. Quantum map. Stage 1. Alot more boost and mpg.
What kinda Chrysler
I had a stage 1 done today on my q5 2.0 tdi 197 bhp.
Is it normal for Reverse gear to be stupidly quick. My wife reversed out of our drive this afternoon and it shot out of the drive.. far too responsive.
Maybe it’s something we’ll get used to
do you have any friends that have b7 2.0tdi passat 4motion that they are going to chip tune? i would like to see that.
Ive got a 2.0l A3 .......looks a right bas###d to get that dpf out....any tips????
Doesn’t the remapping mess up the emissions , would it pass and mot ? I’ve got 2-2 rav 4 and am thinking about having it done 😊
2.2 D4D is a shite engine before remapping put any more stress on it and it’ll overheat and crack the head like all the other 2.2s Toyotas worst engine
My dad fitted the super pro dog bone bush on his Leon fr. it was a insert, lasted a week before he removed it. All vibrations from the engine seem to transfer to the cabin especially when idle.
Hopefully you won’t have the same issue as that bush you have looks abit different
Ohh that's not good. I'll fit it and see how it goes, hopefully it's not too bad
Thats Fryent country park between Kingsbury & Wembley 🤓
Hi mate just to let you know my blue volkswagen golf vr6 4motion got slolen ive just bought a black one had to get another one nice audi
So sorry to hear that mate! Glad you found your next one 😀👍
any issues with your clutch after having it done.. im thinking about doing the same with mine but dont want to remap it and have a slipping clutch after
It's been okay with mine, no slipping yet
What was the costs involved
Great vid :)
Thanks man 🤙
Did the car come out of limp mode as soon as you had the dpf “clean”, or was it only after the map
The map tells the car everything's fine
What year REG is your audi avant mate?
You should tint the windows
I do want to...
I tinted the windows on the Passat and then it died, so it was a waste of £200 😅 putting it off until this cars 100%
How can say boost pressure is ok since log say 2601 all way around? :)) That is a diagnostic limit, boost can be anywhere above 2601 mbar and you`ll not know :))
I need my dpf gutted out and egr delete just need a new clutch before all that 😂
Is it worth remapping? Technically yes.
BUT THERE is more
Is it Street-legal (depends very much on where you drive your car)
If it is street-legal did you get it insured? (in germany almost 50% of the insurance companies do not insure power modified cars evenif they are street-legal)
If you get it insured usually to very high increases on an already in comparison expensive insurance.
Usually it is much cheaper to buy the highest motorization instead of buying a weaker one and to remap it.
In the past (times of the 1Z or AFN) it was different, usually you just have to put the remap to the papers inform your insurance company and everything was fine without any increase in your insurance. But this times are gone since years.
I've just had a stage 2 hybrid turbo fitted in my 2.0 TDI quattro. Had a remap but I have oil pressure light flashing and in limp mode at the moment. The coil light is on and idling at 1100rpm and sounds louder than it originally sounded. It's had a EGR delete but I think the dpf is still in it. I've been told that it's just the oil pressure switch. I will have that done. But is there any thoughts as to why it's idling higher than it used to.
What happened in the end
What year is the A4?
What suspension are you using?
Raceland coilovers 👍
