This 2012 Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI, with an EDC17C46 ECU and all-wheel drive, was tested on the dyno before and after a Stage 1 calibration. Its emissions equipment, including the DPF, remained fitted. The initial dyno run produced 162 hp and 367 Nm, while the quoted factory rating is 170 hp.

Results and DPF condition

After calibration, repeat runs produced approximately 186–187 hp and 426–432 Nm. The readings varied slightly between runs. Data checks showed elevated pressure across the DPF under high load, so any further power increase should be considered alongside the filter’s actual condition and the engine data.

A separate DSG calibration was not needed for this target. The factory emissions equipment remained in place in the configuration shown in the video.
