2012 Tiguan APR Tune

**jsb** · 10-07-2012, 05:10 PM

G'day, first I want to thank Forum members for their input with respect to the various tuning options that are available out there.

I decided to go for an APR Stage I tune and had one done by the guys at European Autotech at Mona Vale. What a difference................better even than I had hoped for. Derek and his boys were great to deal with and my 2012 Tiguan 132TSI is now an even greater joy to drive.

I can highly recommend this "fix" for your Tiguan.

Cheers,
JB

Glad you are loving it JB, European Autotech have certainly now mastered the new APR UPD Programmer & "Chip Clip" for these tricky little buggers!

Is this done through the VAGCOM or OBD port or is it a bench flash for the Tiguan?

Is the final power output the same whether you start with a 132 or 155?

Final output will be the same for both engines as the 132 is just a detuned version of the 155.

Programming method depends on the age of the vehicle, all 2012's are bench tune.

Same hardware on the 132's & 155's, so flash gives same output as Team V says above!

See APR's website www.goapr.com.au for more details. Power is 190kw/400NM, a massive increase from 132kw/280NM ..... makes a 8s 0-100km/h Tiguan into a 6s 0-100km/h Tiguan. That is V8 territory ..... Also overtaking improves from 5.5s 80-120km/h to 3.5s 80-120km/h which is a massive safety bonus.
