Arteon Performance Mods / Tuning

Far out! That throttle response mod is the BEST! The lag/doughy responsiveness from the throttle is gone. The car feels like how my Golf R felt like after I got it reflashed with an aftermarket fuel map. The throttle response in the Arteon is now far FAR better. It actually feels more sporty rather than just this "glide you along" saloon.

Would love to see your work up coding on this one . When i attempted it mine spat the dummy and got two warnings come up on the dash.

Friend told me about this - remove the snow guard for better air intake (and a little more turbo noise).
Looks easy enough.

I've just done this mod. Whole thing took about 15min. The longest part of the exercise is undoing, and redoing up all the screws holding the top of the airbox in.

You'll need a T25 tool to undo the screws. The snow guard literally just lifts out. Pull it from the very edges gently. Don't pull it from the plastic sections in the middle - they break very easily (I broke one). It doesn't matter though as I don't plan on ever putting it back in. Not unless it starts snowing in Brisbane. LOL

Anyone dipping their toe in with aftermarket air filter thoughts ?

Mines out looks really restrictive see a better drive without it !

Has that made any noticeable difference?

I would say it feels a bit like i did the Audi mod again, slight turbo noise increase and spool up and throttle responce

Can you tell me where you go the mod-kit from or did you assemble it yourself- together with K&N plus snow baffle delete from the airbox, I'm keen on fitting this to my new arteon... cheers,

THANKS Blackpaladin67, Going on the hunt for those parts now... (post edit) goods arrived in 5 days from the UK.. (amazing)- all fitted in under 10min- subjectively, I feel it spools up a bit faster with less lag and quicker throttle response- I feel it was worthwhile and glad I did it- cheers again.
