Van Tuning in Gloucester

VW Transporter

The T5 comes with two different engines, the 1.9PD and the 2.5PD. The 1.9 Models are mechanically identical other than the engine software, these tune to approx 135-145bhp, 320-340nm. The 2.5 engine comes in either 130bhp or 174bhp format, the 130bhp achieves approx 170-178bhp, 390-420nm. The 174bhp achieves approx 200-210bhp, 470-490nm.  Stage 1 Tuning of these on the rolling road costs £325.

The T5.1 comes with a 2.0 common rail diesel (CR) engine with 5 different power outputs, 84, 102, 115, 140 and 180bhp formats. The 84, 102 and 115bhp models are all mechanically identical, these all run a 5 speed manual gearbox which will cope with 360nm of torque provided its delivered in a smooth and progressive manor. We have tuned hundreds of these on our rolling road with typical results of 165-172bhp, 340-360nm.

The 140 and 180bhp formats either run a 6 speed manual gearbox or a DSG Auto box, The 140 achieves approx 175-180bhp, 420-440nm whereas the 180 variant achieves 205-210 bhp, 440-460nm. 

The T6 again comes with a 2.0 common rail diesel (CR) engine, now a Euro 6 engine complete with adblue and a charge  cooler. A 2.0TFSI Petrol engine has also been added to the line up. You can find the guide power figures for these on our homepage drop down menu.

Stage 1 rolling road tuning of these costs £345.00 for the Euro 5 engines and £365.00 for the Euro 6.

VW Caddy

The VW Caddy from 2010 onwards are all powered by either a 1.6 or 2.0 CR engine, the 1.6 models are all Euro 5 where as the 2.0 models are Euro 5 up until 2015 when they became Euro 6, again with the addition of Adblue and a charge cooler as per the VW Transporter. 

The 1.6 CR model comes in two power levels, 75bhp and 102bhp, both of these are mechanically identical and tune to the same power - 150bhp and 310nm approximately.

The Euro 6 2.0 CR models come in 75, 102 and 150bhp versions. Guide power figures can be found on the homepage drop down menu.

The 2.0 CR Euro 6 models with the 5 speed manual gearbox come in either a 75bhp or 102bhp format, this gearbox and clutch are not as strong as 6 speed models and need to be tuned to more sensible torque levels.  Below is an example dyno chart showing the power the engine is capable of achieving vs how we tune them for clutch and gearbox longevity staying below 400 nm of torque. 

The Euro 5 models cost £325.00, the Euro 6 £345.00

Transit Custom

The Transit Custom comes with two different engines depending on year, the 2.2D (Euro 5) and the 2.0D (Euro 6). All of the Euro 5 2.2D engines are mechanically identical, they share the same engine, turbo, injectors and gearbox yet come in three different power levels, 100bhp, 125bhp and 155bhp. All of these Euro 5 engines tune to approx 180-188bhp, 440-460nm.

The Euro 6 engines come in 3 different power versions, 105, 130 and 170bhp, these are a similar story to the Euro 5 sharing all of the same mechanicals. The Euro 6 engines tune to approx 200-210bhp, 470-490nm.

Stage 1 rolling road tuning of the Euro 5 costs £325.00, the Euro 6 costs £345.00.

As many Transit Custom owners already know the late 2019, 2020/21/22 models have the Siemens SID 212 or 212 Evo engine control unit.  This control unit can currently not be remapped due to security protection within the ECU’s software.  This will change at an unknow future date but for now traditional remapping cannot be performed.

Whilst all of these models are mechanically the same they have left the factory with one of these power classes -

105 BHP and 360 Nm

130 BHP and 385 Nm

170 BHP and 405 NM

185 BHP and 420 NM

We can now upgrade the 105, 130 and 170 BHP models to the 185 BHP and 420 NM specification.



Whilst this is not in any shape or form custom remapping we see it appropriate to carry this power class changing on our rolling road so that we can perform our normal checks (data logging, power checking and carry out DPF regeneration where required).

The cost of this is £195.00 Including VAT.
