I own a Audi Avant A4 1.9Tdi from November 1996 , it has the 110BHP engine and 5speed gearbox.
It has currently 234.000Kms and I wanted to know your opinion about the "chips" they are selling.
I dynoed the car and it has 252nm @ 1830Rpm and 127BHP at 4140Rpm! The guy told me that with the chip it would make 50nm more and 30BHP more , and they would tune the engine to have its peak torque only at 2000Rpm!
The priece is not the problem , as he asks 500€ for the chip and the instalation and it has a 5 year waranty!! This is very strange , I believe the waranty is only for the chips action and nothjng with the engine!
The car will make something like 300nm @ 2000Rpm and have 155Bhp at 4200Rpm. This are the numbers that a chiped car just like mine did on the dyno test...
I will not have a higher end speed as the gearbox is too "short" and at 200Km/h Im already over 4100RPm witch is not a engine speed to run a lot of time :bang:
But I will have a lot more torque and , acording to the chip company , I will use even less diesel then I already use.
Can you guys give me some feedback about "chiped" TDIs?
Will my "old" engine blow on me after some more Kms?
Do you think the engine will sofer a lot with this changes?
Hope to here some opinons soon :cheers:
