Volkswagen Crafter 2.5 TDI 136hp Remap

The Volkswagen Crafter 2.5 TDI 136hp is a 2.5L turbocharged diesel engine producing 136 BHP and 300 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 166 BHP and 390 Nm — a gain of around 30 BHP (22%) and 90 Nm (30%).

This engine scores highly for remap suitability, with gains weighted towards torque — you will notice the difference most strongly in mid-range pulling power and in-gear acceleration. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.

From a technical perspective, the ECU is typically a Bosch EDC15 (likely), and the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine..

Considerations: Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.. Older diesel: injector, turbo and intake condition can affect results; ensure maintenance is up to date.

Fuel economy note: possible improvement with conservative driving.

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.
