Tuning Discussion - 132TSI / 162TSI

[Dan_3MPS]

Interesting recent comments from all, some good reading Hi to VW Australia who are no doubt reading this thread.

Re: Warranty stuff. Had a turbo replacement from Mazda on my MPS when I had it, not a cheap exercise...took some extensive prodding from me and leaving the car idling in the dealer forecourt smoking the place out for them to take me seriously. The only 'mod' I had was a Mazdaspeed intake, ironically sold as a warranted dealer option in the USA, local Mazda were attempting to deny the claim based on it...but there were plenty of them with faulty turbos which ended up being replaced.

On my Mk6 GTI, it was tuned at 500km. No out of the ordinary issues were experienced. I had the same problems at the same km as most (water pump, coils, PCV, carbon canister and purge valve etc) but would have been taking the piss for any goodwill towards repairs, the water pump was a prime candidate but I just paid for that instead of trying my luck.

Bring out the Bi-TDI here VW! I want that torque [emoji16]

And then we have this to remove the doubt....Volkswagen crack down on tuning

So VW are over getting warranty claims on tuned cars and have spread the word that they can detect them. But the question still is the same, has anyone personally experienced it?

Have you spoken to anyone directly as I suggested, you may get a different story. Of course coming on to a forum and asking here is sure to get to the bottom of the matter but that is not the story you want to hear and speaking to someone who has direct knowledge might give you what you want to hear. I doubt it but give it a go.

Just took mine in for 15k service and a fix to a factory software issue and they saw all my obd2 mods and didn't blink and eye about it.

Yeah but that’s quite different. OBD mods are just enabling or disabling factory written software from running.

You may have changed the settings but it’s still the factory software running.

Did they tell you what the update was for? Notice any difference driving?

Yes it was to turn the factory setting on for disabled driver assist in my Arteon build date which was missed. The 15k service was no cost as a result. Could see some running update minor cosmetic changes to opperation functions but nothing like the difference found by using the obd2 to tell my car it an Audi , thays the best mod out!

I could pretend to know what that is but I won't. Can you explain.

If i faint or otherwise fall asleep the car will pull over thru a number of lanes of traffic and come to a stop

Sorry, I haven't the chance to check it out, I've been at Bathurst for the 6 Hour since Thursday playing Technical (enforcer). But I will shortly.

Interesting thread. It sparked me to do some reading on the 132tsi engine, CzPA. It is a Budack Cycle engine which is built for fuel efficiency.

Here's a video on the engine:

Stumbled upon a useful link the other day - see Tiguan Owners manual - Google Drive .

Have a look at the file named SSP00055420-Nr__554__The_2_0_l_132kW_TSI_engine.pdf .

Also see the file named SSP00052220-Nr__522__The_2_0_l_162_kW___169_kW_TSI_engine.pdf for a comparison to the GTI engine.

WOW!! Amazing repository of documents! Thanks for sharing

An electrical manual for 2017 Tiguan, just what I was looking for. Thanks.

had a MKV jetta years ago from new. 147TSI. Got an APR ECU tune done within a few months. I never took the car to VW for servicing, took it to an independant VW/Audi specialist. Only time it went to VW was for warranty work. It had the 6DSG gearbox. This was replaced under warranty after about 2 years. I never swapped the tuning back to factory settings when it went to VW and they never said anything about the tune done to it during the replacement of the mechatronics unit or the complete gearbox. Had a mechanic give me the "thumbs up" regarding the tune tho... lol.
Things may be different now - moved away from VW in the last few years so have no latest experiences with dealerships etc.

I know the obd11 stuff doesn't work but does anyone know if they have changed or added further protection against tuning? I know it hasn't been long but are there any 2020 delivered cars around here that have APR or custom tunes on them?

The only way you're going to know for 100% sure on your car is to take it to a tuner and get them to read the files off it. Most likely if they can get a read off it then they'll be able to write it also.

Usually they'll do it for nothing as they're going to need to do it anyway when you're going to tune it.
