2.0 TDI 170 ECU remap

[Squirrel]

Got to make a decision in the next few months...

Currently driving a 2006 56-plate A4 Quattro 2.0 TDI 170. Bought new in October 2006, currently has just over 45k on the clock.

Audi's warranty is 2 years unlimited mileage or 3 years/60,000 miles. I'll probably hit 60,000 miles before the end of year 3.

So do I change it at or near 60k or do I keep it, get the timing belt etc done and have the ECU remapped?

And if I do remap the ECU is this something I can do myself with an OBD-II cable and a copy of VAG-COM?

You wont be able to do this yourself with VAG com and there is nothing on eBay to do this either. PLus most people who use the ebay KWP2000 or Galletto kits end up coming to a tuner to fix the damage they have caused.

Your best bet if you want to do it yourself is buy and ST3 off of me and you can choose btween 2 mod file and and ori file whenever you want. PLus with this unti you can use it on the next car as long as it's on the application list.

See link in my signature for details.

Thanks, Mark

What can I expect to gain on the 2.0 170 engine in terms of BHP/torque figures?

35-50hp and 70-110nm. All depends on what level of tuning you go for.

THanks, Mark
