Audi A4 TDI chip tuning

[simyboye]

Hi there,
Hope your all well?

Anyone on here know of any chips or home brew chips for the A4 1997 tdi 110hp?

Many thanks

James

Is it a non-flashable ECU on them? If it isn't try shark90 as i know he's started doing remaps.

[simyboye]

I have no idea if its non flashable?

I will give him a PM

Thanks anyway.

are they not the in-line modules such as hoppa.

Sorry, what do you mean?

I have one - wickedly reliable car, but slow!
I had www.angeltuning.co.uk arrive on my doorstep and 325 quid, and an hour later I had another 50 bhp, an extra 1000RPM and a fair bit more torque it felt like!

A worthwhile investment with no outlay for physical parts, and they come to your house!

Do be careful with some chipjobs on the 19TDi engine as the large increases in torque can seriously shorten life of the standard clutch. Have heard of this a good few times in VW, Seat, Skoda applications of essentially same engine. Dunno if Audi clutch is much better, but symptoms include intense juddering as well when the clutch gets loaded up with high torque at moderate revs. Ask around for recommendations from others about various tuners on that engine - there must be lots of options.

Best thing to do with the 110bhp AFN engine is fit the higher pressure Euro injectors and a plug and play module, mine has been pushing out around 155bhp and substantial torque with this setup for little outlay. You need to talk to Simon Cooper of Central VW Audi. He has been tuning diesels for years and got an old Mk 2 Golf GTD upto almost 300bhp. He wanted to see how far it could go before bending rods..... He advised me on mine. He can be contacted on 0151 3551246
Is presently trying to get a 2.016v TDi upto 400bhp in same Mk2 shell.....

hi 20vcq driver. thanks for your advice, I contacted simon who was very helpful. found some .216 injector nozzles for £60... any idea what output I would get from these? also what tuning module should I get?

thanks again.

Have a look on here: some good info

Get an EGR blanking plate like this for your engine:

Remove and clean out your inlet manifold, it will be seriously gunked up!!!

Bash out the cat, they block up too causing a big restriction and you wont need it for an MOT.

The above mods on my A6 tdi 2.5 got me 10 mpg round town straight away.

With those injector nozzles and the appropriate chip/module it should run about 130/140 bhp with a relevant increase in torque

Make sure you have a good clutch as the torque increase will kill it, the 130 bhp A4 has a stronger clutch than the 110 to cope with the torque increase.

Hi there,
Dubmiester, thanks for your info. I did have a EGR blanking plate that made ****** all difference. I will put another one in and try...

I've ordered the .216 nozzles which should be here shortly. I will get the cat pulled out, is this an easy thing to do? Is there a knack of doing it?

Will just need a budget remap next. Then a clutch at some point!

Thanks again.

The EGR blank only stops any more ***** going into the inlet, whip it off and give it a good clean if you havent done it already.
You can just remove the cat and bash it out, some put a pipe inside to make it a straighter section, its up to you.
Another thing to check is the intercooler, remove it and check there is no oil in it, seen some in cars that do a lot of town work have as much as a litre of oil in them!!!
Good luck
