Together with Audi, Volkswagen pioneered mass-market TDI passenger-car engines in Europe. Mid-range VW diesels are a high-volume chip tuning subject across Europe. VW TDI engines are fitted to both passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

The VW community is renowned for its active tuning scene and a huge library of available Stage files. Stage 1 on VW commercial diesels focuses on torque for loaded driving. Stage 1 on mid-range VW diesels delivers a noticeable torque gain. Mid-range VW engines form the core of the range and take Stage 1 with reliability fully preserved. The VW community offers a large library of ready-made Stage files for mainstream models. The factory calibration is conservative, with headroom for Stage 1 and no hardware changes.
