ECU PCR2.1

This 2014 Volkswagen Caddy 1.6 TDI CR was prepared for a power increase while retaining the DPF and other standard emissions equipment. Diagnostics and a dynamometer test were carried out before the software was changed.

After the PCR2.1 control unit was recalibrated, the dyno showed approximately 161.6 hp and 291 Nm. The video title states an increase of 54 hp and 44 Nm. Transmission-loss compensation is also discussed, so the initial comparison readings differ.

Diagnostics were repeated after the adjustment, and the video describes smooth power delivery without a pronounced drop. No fuel consumption measurement is given, so it cannot be inferred from the dyno results alone.
