Volkswagen Golf (2012 - VII MKI) 1.6 TDI EU5 90 hp — mass-market diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Volkswagen Group (VAG) — материнская компания group (Германия, 1937). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 90 to 145 hp (+55 hp, +61%) and torque from 230 to 310 Nm (+80 Nm). A diesel built in 2012 — the Tricore ECU era; OBD flash works on most production revisions.
'Volkswagen' literally means 'the people's car' — the original philosophy of mass affordability. DSG is the VAG group's proprietary automated gearbox, developed by Volkswagen. TSI / TDI / TGI are VW's badges for petrol / diesel / natural-gas engines respectively. Together with Audi, Volkswagen pioneered mass-market TDI passenger-car engines in Europe. Low-output entry-level VW diesels take Stage 1 safely. The European TDI community is the world's largest for passenger-car diesel chip tuning.
The VW community is renowned for its active tuning scene and a huge library of available Stage files. On naturally aspirated VW engines the main effect is sharper throttle response. In VW's city-car segment, Stage 1 is more about drivability than outright power. Low-output VW engines sit in the compact segment, and Stage 1 is safe on them.
