Tiguan Tuning Starts !

[Sharkie]

Just noticed on APR USA's site that the ECU tuning for the Tiguan is now available. About 190kw with the chip only .....

APR Oz probably will be making the news available locally soon. Need Guy to confirm if the 125kw TSI and 147kw TSI actually has the same engine and both chip to 190kw. If so the 125kw version would have to be a bargain .....

EDIT .... checked VW USA and seems the 147kw 2.0TSI Tiguan is the only available model there.

Guy, any idea on local tuning for the Tiguan yet .......

(...I know of 3 prospective Tiguan owners waiting with anticipation ....)

Does anyone know if the 147Kw turbo petrol in the Tiguan is the old (cam belt) engine or the new (EA888 timing chain) version ?

[Guy_H]

New engine is the Camchain Version in the Tiguan!

Correct Sharkie, only the 147kw for the US - Jury is still out regarding if its the exact same engine or not.......

IIRC (according to on a thread on vortex) the yanks are getting two versions of the new (cam chain) 2.0 TFSI :

CCTA the "normal" emissions version (euro 5 or whatever they are up to these days), and

CFBA the PZEV (partial zero emissions version ? ) for California and a few other US states.

Our engine codes that we have worked on so far are:

CAWA = 125kw
CAWB = 147kw

It looks like the intercooler is different (and some of the plumbing) & the rear exhaust is also different, looks like the intake is the same & most base parts are the same though!

that's the angle I took, especially given the 147 is not available in a manual! I'll be devastated if I'm stuck with a 125kw though.

Any news on whether the APR chip will suit the 125 or if they will make one specifically for it? I'm in the market for an SUV and if the APR chip will suit the 125 my mind will be made up

working on it - will be a few months away
