130TDI B7 Tune

[cru22z]

they sprout 20% improved fuel economy, to be honest i havent looked.. on the golf it certainly hasnt had any adverse effects.

the price is 400GBP with expediated shipping but i got it for 290 GBP including shipping as a repeat buyer - if you contact andrew at DTUK and say youve seen him on the forum and whatnot, he'll do you a good deal.

the DSG handles the increased power without any problem at all, in fact i find it shifts better and thankfully doesnt go into D6 at 50kmh anymore (this previously 5h1t me to tears). in stock form the 130tdi passat has 380nm so the 350nm is just an internet myth.

can u pls share some pics on what it looks like and how it looks like installed?
Also how is the Regen affected??is your car doing regen often after the install?

[crackdawg]

if by regen you mean that bluemotion horse 5h1t then yes, it still does it although its the first thing i now turn off when in the car.

as far as installing goes, you take the plastic cover off, unplug the fuel rail connector and plug the box in - literally 3 minutes.

if you want pictures and whatnot, their website has a full colour pdf.

hi mate - do you have a link to the website? nothing was mentioned in the earlier posts.

i have a 2013 TDI and very much looking at something like this but need to be sure no flags are raised during service.

The guy mentioned the company in post 10.

If only there was some way to type something & search for it

Let me google that for you

[crackdawg]

ive got a low post count so i didnt want to give the website in case folks thought i was spamming etc but brad's link above is the company in question - diesel tuning uk ltd (dtuk).

as far as servicing goes in our golf, i just disconnect the box (takes roughly 45 seconds) and drop it off. when the car comes back i put the box back on straight away (2 min).

ive got 2200km on the Passat now and shes starting to open up nicely, ive got the box set up on max power and the mid range pull from 1800 to 4200 is simply sensational. this thing destroys Golf GTI's at the lights and on the run has no problems sitting side by side with Clubsports.

Very impressive claims there crackdawg. You've almost got me sold!

Still getting plenty out of the tank?

[crackdawg]

hi crackdawg

hows this going for you still? all good?

[crackdawg]

all good chief, Victoria has had a major heat wave... averaged 44c most days, i had to do a trip melb > hamilton > horsham > donald > bendigo > melbourne (various stops along the way + quick overtaking spurts) - roughly 1020km... out bush it was closer to 47c in some spots, i had cruise set for 125km and air con on max, 3pax & luggage.

didnt miss a beat, the mfd claims avg 4.2l/100km & 240km fuel remaining - was & am pretty happy for what is a fleet hack vehicle

[crackdawg]

if anyone is interested, im changing employers so no longer have this car... the Diesel Tuning UK box is available for favourable price to VWW members... cost me $630 landed, it's 3 months old, you can have it for $360 (plus postage if youre not in melbourne cbd)

Increases peak power from 130kW to 158kW and torque from 380nm to 450nm.
