Remapping high milage 2011 TDi 140

Right i recently swapped my S3 for a 2.0 Tdi 140 as i needed to free up some cash, and naturally I'm pining after more power. My A3 is a 2011 2.0 Tdi but its done 110k (one owner was leased to a car parts company) so FSH etc and everything works as it should and it had a new EGR valve before i picked it up, theres no issues with the clutch or turbo but this is what I'm worried about with a remap, i know it can be pot luck sometimes but has anyone got any experience with remapping a high miler?

 

Bought mine with 150k miles on clock, remapped after taking care of injectors (rough idle) and couldn't be happier. Mine is PD though, yours is CR so it should have even less problems. This is just my personal experience though.

 

Yeah just spoke to Ecotech near me in North Wales he said just to watch the clutch but if it's done motorway miles it should be fine and if there's any sign of clutch slip he would reign the torque in!!

 

So he's covering you with a 2nd possible remap for the price of 1 ?

 

lol no if it's slips he'd reduce the torque. Simon did mine i was on 163k on a pd 170 now nearer to 167k and still smiling

 

Well if it does slip , reduce the torque and increase the bhp .

 

140 engines start slipping at 405Nm intentionally to protect the gearbox. Anything below that value won't slip.

 

I would be quite happy with 400NM.. Same as what my S3 had!!

 

I recommend keeping boost pressure standard on high mileage BKD as they are prone to turbo failure.

Any difference in this and a 2.0TDI 143 A4 B8 engine?

 

^^ this guy knows what he's talking about

Talking from personal experience

 

Totally different engine, no issues with these

If it's a 2011 car it wouldn't be a BKD engine would it? I thought the BKD was a PD engine but surely a 2011 car will have the newer common rail engine with DPF.

 

Yeah my engine is a CR engine so it's okay isn't it?

 

Aslong as the car is maintained how it should there shouldn't be a problem

 

Sorry, i misread - CR engines all ok!

Decent place Ecotech, know their stuff

 

Simon at eco tech is a top guy

 

No problem mapping my cr 140 has 112,000 running 188bhp and 425nm with no problem been like this since 96000

More Bhp did mine

 

I'm pretty sure More BHP write some of their files

 

Impressive figures for a 140, have you a dyno graph print out Sir ?

 

No I know them at Morebhp so no print out but seen it with my own 2 eyes on the rollers

 

We tried for more but the standard turbo won't take any more just over fuels and pump out some smoke

 

Be simular gains 185-195 and 400-420 nm

 

190bhp and 420NM will do for me!

 

How far away are you from Crewe Stoke

 

Not all car do the same figures but it's quite often the newer cr do better mines a 09

 

Hour and a bit maybe, eco tech is about 45 mins tbh..
