Assessment
The Volkswagen Amarok 2.0 TDI CR 163hp is a 2.0L turbocharged diesel engine producing 163 BHP and 400 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 195 BHP and 440 Nm — a gain of around 32 BHP (20%) and 40 Nm (10%).
This engine has moderate remap suitability, with gains weighted towards peak power — the improvement is most noticeable at higher RPM. The tuning headroom is classified as moderate, 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..
Considerations: High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.
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.
