Where can this be done near you?
Prime Chiptuning applies the software at its own centres in Türkiye. Abroad, our partners carry out the work with the same files, and workshops can order the file directly.
About the VW Group 1.6 / 2.0 TDI common rail (EA189 and EA288)
The common-rail 1.6 and 2.0 TDI are the core diesels of the post-2008 Golf, Passat, Tiguan, Octavia, Leon, A3, A4 and Q3, among many others. The EA189 generation and the later EA288 differ in injection system and emissions hardware (DPF, EGR, AdBlue on some), and the software is prepared with those differences in mind.
How a Stage 1 remap works on the Audi A3 8V 1.6 TDI 110hp
In this family a Stage 1 remap recalibrates rail pressure, injection duration, boost pressure and the torque limiter as one coherent set. The result is a fuller torque curve from low revs and less gear changing. On DSG cars the gearbox torque limit is respected separately.
Pre-remap checklist
- DPF soot and ash load; a saturated filter masks the effect of the remap.
- EGR valve and cooler cleanliness.
- Boost pressure sensor and hose connections.
- DSG oil service and clutch condition on dual-clutch cars.
On AdBlue-equipped versions, work on the emissions system is considered only as fault repair and within legal limits.
This section is based on Prime Chiptuning workshop experience; the power and torque figures come from the catalogue measurement above.
