Tigger73's 125TSI Tiguan Build Thread

[Transporter]

Transporter checked my car last week and it is now readable over the port. Every other time it hasn't allowed it so my ECU should now be port tunable.... Just needed to wait

Yes, at least with Autologic.
Was your APR tune done over the OBD2 port?
Many late models cars that I have serviced lately are OBD2 tuneable with Autologic, so I would say that they must have been busy developing the tunes for the late models.

All goes over the OBD2. Yes, they don't just hack for the tuning, the Autologic's team of VAG software engineers can repair other software in many control modules and much more.

Yep, and at the end of the day that's what it's all about - enjoying the drive
On another note (and apologies if it's covered elsewhere), Autologic have obviously cracked the ECU security to tune through the OBD Transporter? Or, have they found another way around it?

Great to hear you've finally got a result
Possibly not as much straight out power as expected, but certainly looks to be a more useable tune for around town - certainly backs up what others say about APR tune being the "go to" one for our Tigs (at the moment anyway), although I'm sure Viezu will keep working on theirs to get it to where it needs to be....

Well as the old saying goes if you can't beat them, then join them.

I'm still not 100% on the power output. I think there may be a couple of factors at play here.

First I suspect there is quite significant driveline loss in the DQ500 / AWD system. I'm hoping some other people may be able to quantify this by dyno testing of a stock DQ500 Tig.

The other factor is like you Tiggy1 I have slightly oversize tyres (my speedo now reads true). I know this will make a slight difference and if it is 5% I'm chasing then this may well be the 5% variance right here.

I do have my old wheels still in the shed and if I was super keen I'd put these on and run it on the dyno again but I know talking to the dyno guys it will change the result.

So I'm thinking case closed even though there's still some unanswered questions. The proof of the pudding is in the driving and I'm very happy with how my car drives with the stage 2+ APR tune.

Now to bolt my other bits of hardware (back) on and enjoy driving my car at last!
