Tuning T5

[JP-009]

Hey Sharkie,

On paper, the 2.5TDI and the 350TSI have similar fuel consumptions around town (and I suspect similar under load as well). I totally agree that there are heaps of TSI/TFSI engines that have been re-mapped and are still going very strong.

I can personally vouch for Oettinger, as my 2TDI Octavia was re-mapped with only 52km on the clock. It now has over 90,000km on the clock, and no problems what so ever (even with the odd track day thrown in). Still, I find it strange that they do not do a re-map for the 340TDI, but do one for every other engine...

Hey Sunny, I'll have a look at Brickyard to see what they are doing. Thanks for the tip

We (Oettinger) will have the new maps available shortly - it's a matter of a new programming tool thats very expensive & in limited supply that's holding us back at the moment.

We have obviously done a heap of the TDI 400's in T5's & AMAROK's, but the new tool is needed for the 420's (and the 350's I think) If anyone has a 350 & can drop into our workshop, we can confirm!

I am hanging out for a test drive in the TSI T5 too.

You will be waiting for a while then Guy ..... no dealer in QLD has (or intends to have) 1 in stock ..... I had to go to Canberra to testdrive the TSI350.

It is soooo much better than the TDI's I'm amazed they are not selling heaps. Probably the misconception that the TDIs are better on fuel consumption.

And yet the TSI350 isn't available with 4Motion in Australia. How shortsighted.

Bought our T5 at 200,000 and added 50,000km with a bluefin. 128kw atw on a mainline dyno. Noticed performance increase.

Just my 5c

I just got a quote for an Oettinger tune on my T5 128kw 4 motion and it was $1750 plus $95 to install.

I dont know what others have paid but it seams pretty steep to me considering the gains they claim.

Are there any other good options in Oz for a remap or a decent tuning box (Perth in particular)?

I tried contacting Viezu about their stuff but they never returned my emails

I have a Viezu tune. Cant remember exactly but I think it was about $1000.
