Assessment
The Audi A3 1.8i 20v 125hp is a 1.8L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 125 BHP and 170 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 135 BHP and 190 Nm — a gain of around 10 BHP (8%) and 20 Nm (12%).
This engine has limited 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 limited, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
From a technical perspective, the transmission is manual and dsg/s tronic automatics are common depending on model/engine..
Considerations: Naturally aspirated engine: gains are usually limited; results vary widely.
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.
