Remap advice on a manual 150 2.0 tdi.

Post by Percy247 »

Looking to get my car remapped soon with the aim of improving all round driveability. I find it a bit flat in first and second gears.

Has anyone on this forum remapped their diesel B8 and if so how did you get on? Did you use a custom or generic map? Have you had any gearbox, clutch or flywheel issues?

I have had previous diesel cars remapped and have never had any problems, only benefits. My main concern is exceeding the gearbox torque range. Can anyone confirm that TDI 150 is fitted with the MQ350 gearbox which is rated to 350Nm?

The one generic map I looked at claimed an increase of 45 bhp and 90Nm (320>410) which exceeds the maximum torque of the gearbox.

How robust are these gearbox's and how tolerant are they to this extra torque?

I don't see my driving style changing much post remap, so it won't be getting thrashed!
