Got tuning? Vw passat 206tsi

[amunra]

anyone tried anything yet ?

looking to add 1 of these bad boys to the fleet after test driving and wondering if theres a big increase from the somewhat bland yet enjoyable (for daily situations) stock acceleration to something a bit more blood pumping when you put your foot down



anyone tried jb1 / jb4 or a flash tune yet and what have your experiences been?

currently have golf R and passat alltrack but the alltrack is a bit sluggish so looking to maybe trade in for 206tsi.

G'day, I have the JB4 in 206 wagon. Had it for about 3 months now.
As per my post back then, and still holds, a very effective upgrade!

thats good to hear !

JB4 is definately under consideration if we're getting one.

How do you find it on petrol with the JB4 compared to stock. what are you getting per tank *obviously driving style plays its part

Just returning from an urgent trip from Sydney to Canberra and back. 7.9l/100.
Not pushing it of course. I cant really perceive a noticeable consumption increase given my driving style. Just better for overtaking.
Happy to put you in touch with the guys who put it in. Very professional and nice people!

Given this is a Tuning thread, I thought I would talk about some stats gained from a trip to the drag strip.

In Stock Form
0-100 ~ 5.0 sec, (not 5.5 stated by manufacturer). (Sedan w/Sunroof & ~50kg of audio gear, nothing taken out)

1/4 Mile Stats
13.533 Sec @ 163.03 km/h
60' 1.996
330' 5.643
660' 8.682
660 Speed 129.82 km/h
1000' 11.307

Quite a capable car in stock form. With a stage 1 tune you'd probably see numbers in the high 12's and true 0-100 of ~ 4.5 sec.
Here is a video from the night. [YOUTUBE]_tMLehnQsQg&feature=youtu.be[/YOUTUBE]

Sorry don't have the car yet

Sorry don't have the car yet

- Disalble the Auto Hold (button)
- Disable Stop/Start (button)
- Press the ESP/ESC button to turn it "off", you can use either of the two settings "ESC Off/ESC Sport" - Note, this will disable front assist and put an exclamation mark up on your dash (no need to worry, it's perfectly normal).
- Put the car into "S"
- Put your foot firmly (yes quite firmly) on the brake
- Put your foot down on the accelerator. If the car tries to work against the brake then it's not engaged, if its engaged it should rev happily to ~ 4krpm and then bounce off that
- Release brake to take off

There is no visual message/aid to indicate your are in launch control mode.

There is at least 1 guy on here with a JB4. I am waiting to address any warranty concerns before I think about a JB4.
