Hi All, I'm sure this must have been discussed before but searching the forums has not got me what I'm after. Between myself and my wife we have 2 VW Passat Alltrack's, a 2015 and a 2018, both diesels. Both have lowish kms, as in 70k kms each, and I'm considering having one or both of them tuned, as in stage 1 type ECU tunes, and possibly DSG tunes. I like these cars, they tick a lot of boxes for us, but having had tunes in a WRX and Golf R in the past, I do like the extra power and torque, without hurting reliability. I've had a couple of Golf R's, one of which was tuned by Recode, it was very good and trouble free, not sure if they work with diesels. Any recommendations or experiences for tuners in Sydney for diesels would be much appreciated. Or pertinent forum threads.

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,

Not sure how much Recode are around these days, but they were certainly active 8-10 years ago with the Mk6 R's etc. He never specialised in diesels though - so I would suggest looking elsewhere for diesel tuning.
For TDI tuning you will need to look at the European based tuners like Revo, EcoTune, Racingline OEM+ and Celtic Tuning.
Revo, EcoTune, Racingline OEM+ will have various dealers throughout Sydney.

Celtic Tuning have 1x dealer in Sydney that I am aware of who is Zadtec Performance in Brookvale.

If anyone has experience with any of these tunes in diesels I'd be keen to hear of your experiences.

I used Laborde Motorsport in WA.
He sent me a control box that was used to load the tune to the car.
I used him as my TDI MK5 is old now, so I wanted something custom. He didn't up the boost, as the turbo had 250,000km on it at the time. Got 315,000km now and the car is still pulling hard.

I don’t know if either of these guys are near you, but they specialise in European diesels. Specifically Amarok’s.
Give them a call if they are close they certainly should be able to give you a reliable tune.

Diamond mechanical are part of the same CRD group that have experience tuning euro diesels but I don’t know anyone that has personally used them.
