A petrol engine built in 2009 — the era before widespread firmware encryption, OBD flash without complications.

TSI / TDI / TGI are VW's badges for petrol / diesel / natural-gas engines respectively. Volkswagen is the parent company of the VAG group (Audi, Skoda, Seat, Cupra, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Ducati). The VW community is one of the most active in the world for chip tuning. The VW community is one of the most open in Europe, with a large library of ready-made Stage files. R is VW's top performance sub-brand with turbo engines and 4MOTION all-wheel drive. On older-generation VW petrol engines, Stage 1 is flashed via OBD without a bench.

The VW community is renowned for its active tuning scene and a huge library of available Stage files. APR, Revo and Stage 1+ are the leading tuning brands for VW.
