    2016 Mk7 Golf TDI 110 Bluemotion - Chip Tune or Flash Tune?

    Hey all,

    Anyone actually tried a flash or chip tune on one of these? I have used a bluefin flash tune on my old 2005 and it seemed to work well though it is a lot of money.

    I am now looking at one of these:

    Chip tuning VW Golf VII 2.0 TDI | From Racechip

    Though can't find a lot of detail on them.

    Any advise, thoughts or experience?

    Thanks

    Yes, I did. I had (Just traded for a new R) the RD Technik plugin Box fitted, from new on my TDi. Yes there is a difference, more 'grunt' (torque) pretty much throughout the rev range. Slightly better diesel mileage. Fun to drive. I didn't realize how much until I removed it before trading the Tdi in, and driving for a few weeks without it. It wasn't cheap but I would do it again in a heartbeat, and it can be unplugged/bypassed easily. 10mins to fit.
    This is not a sales beatup, but it's now sitting on my workshop bench. Make a fair offer and I'll consider it. Cost $1500 with all cables.

          I have an Underground Performance tune on my Skoda Octavia diesel and I find it a delight to drive with excellent fuel economy. A marked improvement over standard.
