That's exactly what I was told this morning Andy, I've got a 2019 Euro 6 and it looks like it's staying as a 102!
This is correct, no Euro 6 102 tuning with REVO
So I have a Euro 5 T6 ....looking at the remap saying 170-180ps, is this safe ?
My Euro 5 T6 was remapped by customvanz to about 160-170ps. Its been fine for the last 20k and is essential for my towing needs. I read the 102 would be ok for towing a car on a trailer and it wasn't. I could only do 40mph on the motorway hills. It's much better with a remap. The engine can easily take it, I've read the gearbox is the week link so I may change to a DSG or 6sp
There’s a man not shy of a retrofit, if ever I saw one.
yes
I have to be, it's by job to develop retrofit option for Rolls-Royce. Quite often dealers want to retro fit options they forgot to order or the customer wants them. VW's are much much easier.
It is the EURO 6 map on 102 BHP vans which has been stopped.
The Euro 5 model is fine. This is due to inherent stock Factory turbo issues. REVO public announcement coming soon! Rgds

I wouldn’t recommend any tune until the turbo issues are sorted.
I’m sorry I don’t know. I’m sure there is. But if it becomes a widespread then VW themselves will be sorting this.
I doubt VW will. It's a remap issue and they make the range of engines with different power for a reason. It's cost based. They make nowt from a remap nor from a turbo upgrade.
If I've learnt one thing about VW its that they don't get involved after you bought it.

I dropped in to my local Revo remapping dealer today to book my 2017 150 in for it to be done and discussed the 102 turbo issue with them while I was there, they say they have a range of part numbers to check on the turbo's before offering to do the remapping, if the part numbers are in the range that are suspect they will advise against the remap (but may still be able to do it if more durable replacements are fitted, or still do it but require a disclaimer in case of failure) obviously they don't want to suffer bad press should loads of customer's cars start blowing up.
Totally agree.
Assuming the mounting points are the same you could fit an upgraded turbo or send yours off to be reworked. Only thing to check is the fueling and the cooling, I've got no clue if it's the same across all the vans or what? Can't imagine it being too different mind!
