[@devilsguru]

This channel is a breath of fresh air for petrolheads after the generic cosmetic mod centric fare served up by most channels. Informative and to the point with excellent production quality. Keep up the good work. Also, would the 2.0 litre diesel in the Tata Harrier count as a a tuning friendly motor?

[@HarmonixxTuning]

Thank you for those kind words. While we don't think the Fiat/Tata 2.0 MJD engines are are as mod friendly as some of the other Diesel motors listed in the Video, we surely can make your vehicle a tad more fun to drive.

Do you find much difference after stage 1 tuning the 1.5 and 1.6 tdi engines on the polo? Which one is more tuner friendly with more potential for gains with just a stage 1?and lastly what do u think is more reliable?

[@HarmonixxTuning]

The 1.6TDIs make a tad less power than the 1.5TDIs. Around 5-10HP less. The 1.6TDIs were plagued by injector failures, all though that does exist in the 1.5TDI as well, it's very rare and only happens on really high mileage engines if the car has been constantly getting poor quality fuel. We prefer the 1.5TDIs over the 1.6TDIs personally.

I think the entire tuning industry gained attention in India since the mid 2000s and there were mods mostly for diesels coz they were turbo charged ... I do remember tuning boxes for 1.3 multijet, Hyundai getz etc ...

That was the advent of "bolt-on" power mods as we call it. Even we grew up putting tuning boxes on the Elantra, Verna, Getz etc. And credit goes to Mr Peter Chacko of Pete's who started this trend.

What about 1.5 CRDi , is dpf delete possible on a 1.5 CRDi , I'm fed-up whith the dpf issues 🥹

[@HarmonixxTuning]

The 1.5 CRDi ECUs can currently only be tuned via Boot, meaning we have to open up the ECU & read & write directly to the chip on the PCB. This method can be a bit risky & thus majority of the enthusiasts are waiting for an OBD/Bench protocol to be released which are a lot safer. But if it's DPF issues you're facing, we can disable that for you as long as you're okay with us opening your ECU.

[@dieselhead999]

Which engine is better 1.6 crdi (Hyundai)or 1.6 tdi(vw) both in stock and tuned versions.

does is it make any sense to tune 1.0mpi vw polo since it's N/A engine

[@HarmonixxTuning]

We can do a Basic Stage 1 Tune however, if the car has run over 80k kms, you will have to sign a waiver that you're willing to tune a high mileage engine knowing the risks involved and you will not blame Harmonixx for any failures that may occur post the tune. Our tunes are 100% reliable on newer cars. However, we cannot analyse how much wear & tear there is internally in your powertrain when it's too old or has run high mileage.
