140TDI Diesel Tiguan Mods

[stark27]

Hey Guys.

This is just a thread to share any tunes or mods you plan on doing.

I plan to get a Stage 1 upgrade and DSG Tune on through 140TDI via Harding Performance in QLD when its available. I've spoken to one of the guys and he said it's being worked on overseas by RacingLine but due to a new computer it's taking a bit longer than expected. I'm hoping this will improve the turbo lag a bit.

Harding Performance in Coorparoo? What are the expected output figures from their stage 1 tune like?

[stark27]

Over the phone he said 20 to 30%.

Also talking to Euro Car Upgrades in Maroochydore who have Revotechnik and Custom ECU upgrades.

REVO Stage 1 Software for a VOLKSWAGEN Tiguan 2.0 Common Rail 184 | Revo Technik (http://www.revotechnik.com/product-details/software/volkswagen/tiguan/200/stage-1/)

I've noted the website is for the 135kW but he assured me it was for the new 140kW too but he is checking on that.

I wonder if we can get a group discount for 3 or more of us?

RD Technik Stage 1 ECU Upgrade $1279. Approx. 20% increase in hp, 30% increase in torque

I'm pretty sure you can get a custom ecu tune as Europe send over their coding details to other countries (Australia) spoke to someone at tunehouse and said this. Diesel tuning Australia do their own dyno tune which is what I've heard is best to get optimum output. There is a Passat b8 which has the same engine as our 140 bitdi tiggy and they got 300bhp. Phone around your local area as these tuners may share there tunes. Good luck.

I'm also gonna tune my new Tiguan when it arrives. In Europe we have the 150bhp 2.0 TDI DSG engine. Or manual gearbox of course. My ecu tune is 899 euro's including before and after dynojet runs and a backup of the original settings just in case. They did this engine before on other Tiguans/VW's and with stage1 ecu tune they get around 180-190bhp on average and torque increase from 340 stabdard to 375-390. Every engine is different of course and get's there own specific tuning in The Netherlands.

Nice bump in power does it make a noticeable difference?

The tune i am looking at goes from 135kw to 154kw and 380nm to 450nm so going to get it dyno tuned to test it
Need to get to 1st service at 15000klm 1st and make sure its ok giving it lots between now (1600klm) and the service so any weakness should show up

Is the 180bhp 2.0TDI available at your country with the R-line? Nice as that was my first choice but the engine is not available in The Netherlands.
Especially the torque increase will be noticable is my guess, I don't have my Tiguan yet so can't tell you how it feels.
I'm letting it tune after 1500km's on the clock already, should be no problem at all according the company as they will put it on the dynojet and on the road and read every value that is important to keep the engine safe. (Turbo pressure, temperatures etc.) and then do the tuning and re-read the values and compare them to the safety margins.
