I have the same engine in my A6 c6f. (Manual). Also tuned as yours. And i can also say that "nothing" happens before 2k rpms. When it hits 2k in f.ex 2nd gear, it send all the same power all the way up to 4-4.5k. These engines are perfect. 10/10 stars for VW/Audi diesel engines. And also the tune has a big difference in top speed. Drove mine 249km/h on the german autobahn. It's crazy what that 2 litre diesel engine can do.

[@RealGX]

Don't know about that all the PD cars I had tuned or not had a peaky power delivery, all the power came in at once. The common rails like to rev to red line, at lot smoother as well.

[@Logicalx]

That's the problem with the generic maps. Wouldn't touch them without a full custom rolling road map (like your Golf). Now that the car is requesting more fuel, it would probably be a good idea to either get a new fuel pump or get an uprated one. We can all only guess what the issue is, get it on a dyno and have a full health check done.

[@frostray7872]

100% agree with this person!

[@BWTV]

I also agree, however the people who mapped my golf we're not so great on it either. If the issue is really tough to solve I'd need to take it to a known specialist. Rolling road or not, it only matters if the diagnostics guys know their TDIs!

I could be totally wrong but when you had the camera on the rear end it sounded like the caliper is rubbing on the rotor...like those pins that the the pads slide on need lube. But it could be nothing. My GTI was doing that and it drove me nuts. Took it to a foreign car repair and they could not find the problem. I finally figured it out myself and I am really not much of a mechanic. And now, back to the Corrado. Cheers!

[@BWTV]

Ohh do you think? I'll have another listen, I think it's just the exhaust noise from the big muffler, not really allowing the grumble through, just the whilsting! 😮

[@insidebyte8561]

That hesitation is the deffo the n75 valve, get it replaced along with all the vacuum lines :) Also, try some forte turbo diesel cleaner, it has a VNT turbo and the veins getting shitty and stop working properly, I've used 2 bottles in half a tank and sent it till it was empty and it cleaned it out :)

Boost kicking in at 2K is not what lag is, lag is the turbo taking time to spool up at any revs.

Tandem fuel pump seals, check your fuel filter for any oil residue.

[@waifuracer6516]

That hesitation can be a whole lot of things. Could be N75. It could be turbo vanes sticking. Can also be throttle pedal, altough if its only between gear changes then thats unlikely. I would plug in an OBD tool preferably one that can record live data and go for a drive, re-create the problem and then look at the data to see if there is anything obvious.

[@jammah7164]

I've got the same engine as you 170 brd 2.0tdi, I get the delay between 1000 and 2000rpm (Turbo's kick in late on these far as i know) and i also get lag between gear changed where it dips off then suddenly powers up again after you've shifted up a gear and your foots down, and i think its fairly normal on them to be honest, i do know that these engines compared to the 2.0 140 suffer from a large amount of turbo lag, mines also remapped (Apparently to 205) with an egr dpf delete and straight through exhaust, you'll also struggle to get any more noise out of it cause like i say mines straight through and it doesn't really sound that loud, the only thing that's more pronounced is the turbo spooling down between gearchanges

[@Beardchanics]

Need a bit of fine tuning and should be pretty sweet after that!

[@rubzh8568]

Glad u did the mount and happy with the result. Try using good brand diesel injector cleaner along with a engine carbon clean. Hopefully that should improve the drive and throttle response.

[@BWTV]

Sounds like a plan! 👌

[@jackmillin]

If your on original clutch and flywheel or it's done anywhere near 80k miles you'll soon kill the clutch and flywheel driving "enthusiastic". I had my 2010 140bhp B8 TDI Avant re maped to 180bhp. It was about 8 years old, 80k miles at the time and the clutch and flywheel went around 85K. It's cost £800 supplied and fitted for a new one.

[@leet7031]

Hi Brad, I commented in the last video about the metal pd140 inlet manifold, I changed that and it reduced the stutter massively but it's actually in the mapping , the Siemens ecu has an Inbuilt boost limit and majority of generic mappers are unaware as they are just 10%ers who just resell on generic maps , Google KILNER PD170 STUTTER and read through all the posts Jamie kilner is the man for the pd170 as it's what he learned to map himself at home , not sure if he still does the mapping but it's worth asking him I can place money on the map requesting too much boost and the internal limit closing the manifold butterfly to stop the turbo over hitting the limit and then it reopens which then gives you the surge of power. Hope this helps mate I had these same issues with my old pd170

[@BWTV]

This would actually make sense and thank you so much for commenting again as a reminder. I'm gonna purchase the manifold now, but quick question, would it actually be dangerous to run the map like this without swirl flaps then? If it's a safety feature, and the safety "barrier" was no longer there, do you know if it could cause damage somewhere else? Thanks again for helping 👌

[@leet7031]

@@BWTV from what I've picked up is that the limiter is not there for protection it's just different to map around than on a Bosch ecu used in all other vag models , the reason the flap closes is to stop the turbo building up anymore boost pressure than what the limit is set in the ecu , the waste gate and n75 will control the boost and help smooth it out more say , when you remove the plastic inlet youl free up the air flow with the metal one which may resolve your issue see how you get on with that , been a fan from early on in your channel mate so if your having issues still il comment on the next video when you do the inlet swap 👍
