  • The Volkswagen Virtus is probably one of the hottest cars on the market right now with many enthusiasts being hyped for the tuning potential! Except, there is one problem, you cannot tune the VW Virtus, yet. The VW Virtus along with its siblings, the Skoda Slavia, VW Taigun and Skoda Kushaq all have a "locked" ECU from the factory. This is true for both of the engines, the 1.0L TSI and the 1.5 TSI. Watch the video to know more about this situation!

    This was a similar situation for the Nissan Gtr. When the r35 was launched in 2006 like that. Nissan themselves said that "It's a most secure ecu ever and no one car Crack it." Look now, everyone r35 out on the road are somewhat tuned.

    2:19 Complete Goof Up!
    1. ECU and ECM though different terms mean the same thing! ECU stands for 'Engine Control Unit' whereas ECM stands for Engine Control Module.
    2. TCM and BCM are two different modules. TCM stands for 'Transmission Control Module' and controls how your transmission works, whereas the BCM stands for 'Body Control MOdule' and controls the electronics installed on your car body, wipers, signal lights, central door locking, power windows and so on.
    To tune the car you have to unlock the ECU/ECM as it is through ECU that you can flash custom maps for your engine, again for which you need the stock map.
    Every module has its own security key. To remap the engine you need security key for the engine/ecu and to unlock other modules, you need security key for the respective models.

    In the end you said, "1.5 TSI is the engine to have for tuning". but those models have a DQ200, Doesn't that will lead to reliability issues?. there are hundreds of articles on the internet, discussing the DQ200 but it all gets confusing after reading a few lol. Would like to know your opinions on that! hehe

    • @adityavisu
      @adityavisu Před rokem +1

      Yes, the DQ200 is infamous for its reliability. The breakdown stories present in the internet are a lot and also they handle upto 250Nm of torque only which is at its max with the 1.5 TSI tune which is 150hp and 250Nm. So if you are tuning a dsg a lot of people suggest a DQ250, which handles around 400 Nm if I recall(the suggestion is if you are doing a project car).
      But the 1.5 TSI manual is a safe bet for tuning. The only exception here is the Virtus as it does not have a 1.5 manual.

      I recall reading that modern engines are so complex and have so many parameters and tight tolerances that it would not run smoothly.

      It will be the same case time and time again
      Cars made with turbo in mind have lesser gains at end stage modifications since they were designed to rely on it.
      Unlike na engines which were designed to not to rely on forced induction, it creates more power when added as the engine is using it as supplement , rather than being reliant on it

    Brother the car is too new and it just came out. For the software developers it takes time to crack the ecu and come out with tunes and mods for a car. German cars are the easiest to tune among everything. Just wait for 6 months and you’ll have so Many mods for the virtus.

    Why not just change the whole ECU?
