Volkswagen Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 163hp Remap

The Volkswagen Amarok 3.0 V6 TDI 163hp is a 3.0L turbocharged diesel engine producing 163 BHP and 500 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 310 BHP and 680 Nm — a gain of around 147 BHP (90%) and 180 Nm (36%).

This engine scores highly for remap suitability, with gains weighted towards peak power — the improvement is most noticeable at higher RPM. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.

From a technical perspective, the ECU is a Bosch EDC17 (likely), and the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine. some dsg/dual-clutch gearboxes have torque management; calibration may be torque-limited. at this torque level, transmission and driveline servicing history becomes especially important..

Considerations: High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.

Fuel economy note: economy gains unlikely at full power; depends on driving style.

All figures shown are typical estimates based on aggregated Stage 1 data for this engine variant. Actual results depend on vehicle condition, mileage, and the chosen tuning method. We recommend discussing your specific vehicle with a qualified remap professional.
