Tdi power!!!!

[Jmac]

Thanks both. Useful information. I guess I am at the other end of the spectrum. I like a bit of extra poke around town, but also really like being able to drive 1,000 ks on a single tank, but with quality handling Mr Kia, and would be interested to see how far that could be pushed. The Bluemotion thing looked interesting, but we didnt get that here AFAIK.

Pre 2010 are available Bluefin, that way you can have the fun of doing the tune yourself And you can flash to standard if and when you need to

hey yowie regarding the fuel economy- yes, chipping a tdi = goes faster = more fuel consumption, but when i drive the same speeds on my fast road map as on my stock map, the fuel consumption on the stock map actually appears to be greater.

which is why i run my car on fast road map all the time, even when im looking at a week of tedious commuting/ errand running.

Sorry for the slow reply Ash,

There's a list of the exact differences 103 to 125kw somewhere in the diesel section, I couldn't find it just now, but from memory:

Extra water cooling channels around the injectors - different head
Forged and lightened crank
VNT 17 turbo with a higher accuracy VNT controller
different head gasket
Much larger EGR system / cooler
Different swirl flap inlet design, extra breathing ability
Different valves, pistons
Extra oil vapour seperation systems

a few other things, but in all VW have upgraded everything to handle the extra load, heat, and power delivery of the motor.

i've just ordered a chip express module for my TDI... stay tuned for results.

Any updates Sammy125TDi? You taken the big step yet smashley?

[Buller_Scott]

hey jmac, do you do the tuning here in australia?

can superchips do custom tunes for uprated turbos e.g. the pd130 turbo or the pd150 out of the gt tdi?

Its pretty good... not amazing like flashing a GTI... but still impressive.

traction in 2nd can be a problem.

Just successfully CMD tuned a late 09 build Tiguan 103KW. CMD is a process you are going to hear more about, most of the late 09 on are going this way.

I think you mean BDM (Background Debug Mode), CMD is just a brand name. I have a nice new Trasdata and a spare 555pro BDM setup.
BDM obviously sounds sort of kinky too, We can have a national BDM network

Ive got the Superchips BDM kit, but the CMD kit is different mate, only our main guy has that, the kit and obd hardware is different from the CMD kit. CMD flashing is similar to the BDM style , done on the jig, flash block dropped onto the board etc but we cant use the BDM to flash post Sept 09 ECUs, we can only do it with the CDM.
These new ECUs need to have the power and boot enabled by soldering 2 wires onto the board, then the rest gets done smilar to BDM style. So i do do agree its BDM as that is essentially what we are doing, but we need the extra CMD gear to do the new stuff. bring back serial!!!!!! Suppose one good thing is we dont need to worry about any system in the car interfering whilst the flash is getting done.
