I was always contemplating having the TDi Tiguan chipped ever since I got it, but on paper it really did not gain as much as the 2.0 petrol counterpart. eg. our Golf went from 280Nm to 410Nm, and gained about 40 odd kw. So I sort of went back and forth on the decision as the TDi Tiguan will only gained about 20kw and 50Nm according to superchip.
Superchip was having a 20% off sale before the new year, I finally I took a plunge and got one from John @ tigersoft thinking that's quite a good deal to be had and worth a try. The process was easy enough with the handheld, within minutes of uploading my original file I got the modified version back and way it goes.
Not holding much expectation as I know its a generic tune (one size fits all) I started the engine, to my surprise the engine runs smoother at idle. so I said Okay~~ then proceed to drive out for a short test drive around the block.
mmm from idle to 1750rpm feels just a little livelier stock, but from 2200rpm onwards it pulls like a train! and I wasn't even on full throttle. Much like a GTi but of course runs out of puff at 4500rpm. It's a diesel anyway.
Again to my surprise the tune actually fixed the much dreaded booming sound the engine creates at 1250-1500rpm. It's not totally gone, but at least it is a lot less noticable!
It's only been a day, and I'm liking it so far! If the tune can move the power band closer or even before the 2000rpm it would be perfect.
I should've done the tune sooner!
