Volkswagen Polo (2009 - 6R) 1.2 TDI 75 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 75 to 95 hp (+20 hp, +27%) and torque from 180 to 220 Nm (+40 Nm). The 2009 generation — first-generation CDI/TDI/HDi diesels with relatively simple ECU protection; OBD reading works directly.

Volkswagen is Germany's largest carmaker, founded in 1937 in Wolfsburg. GTI and R are Volkswagen's performance sub-brands. 4MOTION is Volkswagen's proprietary all-wheel-drive system. TDI is Volkswagen's badge for direct-injection turbo-diesel engines. The MQB platform lets a single calibration cover VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat. VW TDI engines are fitted to both passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

APR, Revo and Stage 1+ are the leading tuning brands for VW. Stage 1 on VW is typically a quick, standard turnaround. On GTI and R models, Stage 1 works fine on stock hardware. Low-output VW engines sit in the compact segment, and Stage 1 is safe on them. 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.
