  • Who has flashed their diesel?????

    I'm wanting to know who has had their diesel flashed and what do you think?
    What power up brand did you use, how much and how does it feel.?

    Get in touch with John from DNA Tuning in Melbourne. Apart from tuning both my VW's, my brother had his 2012 Skoda Octavia 103TDI tuned by them. It was a little rocketship afterwards. Went from 103kw up to approx 130kw and torque from 320nm to over 400nm.

      Matti had his 125TDI tuned as well, required a bench flash. but apparently now he is massive torque available, not that he didn't have any before haha

        I had mine done, Revo tune, same as Matt, but he has also done exhaust.
        125kw->150kw and 350nm->430nm.
        Highly recommended. Its all about the torque with diesels and this just opens up the gates that much more in the mid range.

          I have the DTUK tuning box fitted, Goes from 125KW to 165KW and 350NM to 470NM very impressed. Dyno graph on DTUK's site to prove. Uses less fuel most of the time

              I'm having a little trouble getting the honest truth about a torque limit through the dq250 dsg. Can anyone confirm if you need a dsg flash to be able to use the extra nm?

                No need to dsg reflash for stage 1 tunes.

                  The torque manager is there & it depends on your application. On the dyno we can see (depending on modifications) 30 - 50 nm @ hubs on a GTD (stage 1) when the DSG software has raised the torque threshold.

                    There are torque limiters in there yes and you'll hit them so yes its true if your pushing things

                          I've ordered a DTUK 'plug n play' for my 103TDI CR Yeti and I've just looked to see where it will intercept the system.
                          I've looked at DTUK's pics of how to install and now think it looks impossible to get to the turbo related sensor wiring which on mine (if the pics are correct) is buried low on the front of the engine between piping and the block with access limited to a ~4cm gap twix radiator and turbo air supply to the inlet manifold.
                          A plastic 'braided' small loom goes down and out of sight so I'm thinking I might need a pro to install it.
                          Any chance someone knows where it is and how to get to it considering the impossibly small gap? (and I've got smallish hands too)

                            Hi
                            I have one installed in my Octavia RS and it is a pain to fit the bottom connector.I used an old coathanger bent up at the end to remove the plug then its just fits inline.The hardest part is getting the bottom connector. Someone said its takes only 5 mins, but with all the stuffing around it took me an hour.

                              I've since found out that the CRD-e , being the economy biased version doesn't have the turbo related lower plug which is a huge relief as there was no way I could see or access the connector unless I removed the lower tray and did it from underneath the car.
                              5mins....yeah right!
