Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Yes - meant from an ECU perspective. Im aware that the engine/turbo between the two models is considerably different.

    What i was trying to say was that if the 103TDI can be tuned, then im sure the 125TDI engine can also be tuned.

      Not true, bluefin (Superchips) offer a tune for the 125tdi

      Brings power up to 147kw and torque 427nm

      Bluefin engine remapping uses an ECU remap for your diesel or petrol engine and delivers better performance. Engine tuning with ECU chipping for diesel and petrol engines.

          not all 125TDI's are the same - for starters there is the 125TDI-PD and the 125TDI-CR engines... Which car with the 125TDI are you talking about???
          They have Different ECU's and each will tune differently with mods.

          I'm not aware of any OBD flash based tuning for the 125TDI-CR - they have to be bench tuned due to the encrypted ECU.
          so I don't know what Bluefin offer as as a plug in option - must be a Tuning Box.

          I'm running a ChipExpress tuning Box in my 125TDI-CR and It's great.... I even get 4.2 lt/100km economy

            According to their website bluefin have a handheld device for the 125tdi-cr

            However when you select 2010+ a pop up comes saying you need to be tuned in a workshop, so the encryption must of happened 2010 onwards...

              Been doing these for ages via the OBDII port if we are lucky even some forum members here. Some do have to be done via boot mode though unfortunately.
              Yes Superchips do them too and others
