Passat 2.0TDI 125KW - Can this be Chipped / Tuned?

[J-P]

Custom Code does a DPF delete and tune that takes power from 125kw to 170-180kw and 450(ish)nm

that'll THRASH a V6, everytime

and its only about 2-2.5 all up!!! Thats what the Oettinger tune will cost you

How do you work that out? From their site a Phase 1 goes from 170bhp to 200-210bhp. That's 125kw to 150-157kw no? Phase 2 just says TBA if that's what you are refering to.

Bloody british units don't make it easy to compare. They won the language war, surely they could concede the units one.

I believe the DPF delete and after delete tune = 170kw


I would go the v6 over it personally as the awd and v6 powah are good enough.

what you said

I'm not sure they have the DPF delete for the Passat yet?

The seem to fit pretty much all vehicles with a DPF.

First batch of pipes has landed. I hope to have them in my hands next week.

cog-doc is likely to be the first tuned up.

Cheers

Interesting, what age??? Up to 2009 mostly serial, but 2010 will need CDM which was formally known as BDM. Check out www.superchips.co.uk the Aus site should be active by the end of the month.
Good luck

There may be a few potential problems..

• isn't removing a DPF illegal? (roadworthy and insurance issues?)
• 450Nm is a lot of torque for the Passats DSG (reliability and warranty issues?)
• too much power and torque via only the front wheels? = torque steer and wheelspin rather than pure performance?

From memory removing the DPF isn't illegal, it just means the car does not comply with Euro regulations on emissions for the sale of new cars.
Removing a DPF will almost certainly not be recognised by anyone in the regulatory trade so they probably won't even know it has been done.
Also they are less likely to pull over a tdi passat for a check than a hotted up riceline.

The DSG can handle a lot more than it is rated at.
VW are just using a low rating system to protect themsleves incase any lawsuits may come up.
There must be a safety margin built into their reccomended limit.

I think most TDI owners are going to go a bit easy on their ride, rather than flooring it and using it for trackdays.
If you drive in a spirrited fashion, there shouldn't be any problems.
It's only if you fang it hard all the time that you will notice a problem.

DPF delete is not illegal (that i know of), unlike removing you Cat.

Custom Code will do a tune so suit your car so it lasts

Yes to both of those if you were a ham fisted idiot Diesel's are very linear in how they deliver their power. But I dare say there will be more wheelspin than a stock car

Where is that documented by VW? Because unless it is, it's still speculation...

interesting that the chipped 2.0T Passat goes up to 238HP, or 177KW. thats almost the same as the V6.
