Date

Vehicle
Volkswagen Passat
Year
2006
Engine
2.0L TDI diesel
This 2006 Volkswagen Passat with a 2.0 TDI engine was first tested after work on the DPF and EGR systems, but before the power calibration. The initial run recorded 133 hp and 314 Nm, while the engine's factory rating is listed as 140 hp.
The customer did not want a large power increase, so a mild ECU calibration was applied. The dyno then recorded 150 hp and 352 Nm. The video reports that the warning lights were no longer on and the car no longer entered limp mode after the work.
