VW Touareg remapping
If your Touareg strains with a caravan or trailer behind it, or you'd like it to be less thirsty on long runs, a remap can help with both. We map the 2.5 TDI, 3.0 V6 TDI and V10 TDI where the car is parked, after a full fault check.
Reasons to remap a Touareg
- Towing heavy loads up long hills means a lot of downshifts
- The car feels slow to respond when you need to join fast traffic
- Fuel costs on big annual mileage are high
- The gearbox seems to hunt between gears when towing
What a remap changes on a Touareg
A remap lifts boost and fuelling within safe limits, so the Touareg's diesel produces more torque at low revs. On a 3.0 TDI or 262, that makes towing and overtaking feel easier, and the car is less likely to kick down on gentle climbs.
Work worth pairing with a Touareg remap
Gearbox map
If your Touareg has an automatic gearbox, a gearbox remap at £195 + VAT tunes the shift points to suit the new engine map. The two together cost £440 + VAT.
Fault finding
A Touareg showing a warning light should be checked first, with diagnostics at £100 + VAT.
What we do about it
We read every stored code and save the original software before we write anything. Your Touareg then gets a Stage 1, Stage 2 or economy map for £275 + VAT, and the codes are rechecked before we go.
Will a remap help my Touareg when towing?
Yes. The extra torque low down helps the Touareg get a trailer moving and hold speed on climbs.
Can a remap improve my Touareg's mpg?
An economy map can, because the engine works less hard for the same job. Savings vary with mileage and loads.
Should faults be fixed before the Touareg is remapped?
Yes. A stored fault should be repaired first, so we always read the codes before mapping.
Can a remap cause problems on a Touareg?
On a well-kept Touareg, a properly written map shouldn't. Existing faults are the bigger risk, which is why we check first.
