Mk4 Golf 1.9L GT TDi 150BHP - ECU Remap

[edk]

Very interesting read this thread makes and I dont even have an HDI or TDI heh. Impressive gains you got there HDI fun and pretty cool it looking totally standard still.

On top of the increased power and performance the great thing about a remap is the drive. With the engine more refined you'll find it a whole new car and a joy to drive

A de-cat would help for extra flow though? Saves a whole new exhaust if the standard one is pretty good anyway?

I'm driving diesel and have been doing so in remapped form for over 3 years.

And I'm the original diesel hater.

Can't so that with mine, sadly, as it has the Euro V compliant particle filter etc. Otherwise, well, yes, why wouldn't I?

The dCi is a common rail system. They operate the same was as the HDi engines.

The following are all common rail diesels:

Saab's TiD
Merc's CDi
Vauxhall's CRTDi
Honda's i-CDTi
Renault's dCi
Chrylser's CRD
Current Audi TDi are common rail (PD has been retired)
BMW's d
Jaguar's D
Nissan's dCi
Toyota's D4D

There's loads more besides.

Now that VAG is phasing out the (very effective) PD systems it's common rail that dominates the diesel market.
