Re-mapping the 140 TDi CR

[VX Foxy]

Has anyone got any advice or experience?

I've done a bit of googling and found the usual options of plug-in boxes or full RR'd maps ranging from around £100 to £500.

In my old 530d I had a cheap DIY plug in box and found the results to be excellent.

Where's the smart money on VAG CR TDi tuning?

Plug in boxes are poor at best.

Go for a proper remap (generic one) from the likes of Custom Code etc.

Wont cost that much and will be much better.

Cheers GD,
What's up with the 'boxes? I was honestly impressed with the one I had on the 5er; more power, better mpg.
Can't see any reference to CR engines on the CC site?

Just from what I've read...they're a bit of an 'unknown'.

A proper map off a reputable company would be best.

I see your midlands, call Midland VW and speak to Jody. They're a Custom Code dealer and will be able to sort you out. Great company and great prices too . They're just off the M6 toll at Norton Canes.

They're very good. Worth bearing in mind as they're a V.A.G indy so will do all sorts of servicing/work etc

I've had a tuning box on my PD150 golf for about 5 years now. No probs with it, and quite a noticeable increase in power. Easy to remove and install. Cost about 400 quid, and slides down the side of the battery compartment. I'd recommend
