In February I bought this Audi A2 TDI 75 PS from Audi UK's heritage fleet to replace my Up! GTI as I was planning to do many more miles and didn't want to do them in a mileage sensitive city car.
In many ways the A2 is superior to the Up! GTI but one way this example didn't impress was the response of the engine. 75 PS is a meagre amount of horsepower and the fact it was a diesel with a very narrow power band didn't help.
The standard torque of 195 nm was good but again it wasn't around for very much of the rev range.
Luckily remapping the TDI engine is possible and Stealth Racing in Southam Warwickshire, just 40 miles away are the best people do this in the UK.
So after around 7 weeks running the standard map I finally got down to there to get the work done and the results were impressive as you will see!

I have had my 90 TDi A2 for 10 years. It was remapped by Stealth back then and is putting out just shy of 120bhp and a huge lift in torque. The car is amazing, it pulls like a train and the mid range is fantastic. It's always fun when something a lot more powerful starts to push you on a motorway, just wait for a gap, plant the throttle and watch them slip back. Of course they will get you in the end but come on, this is a 1.4 three cylinder. The thing is, it does it with such gusto even after 10 years it's still a delight to drive. Economy has suffered a little but it's still into the 50's per gallon. I have had absolutely NO issues with the car during this time so if you want to set your A2 free I suggest visiting Stealth - you won't regret it.

@alternativelivingandcamper1185 5 лет назад

iv got 4 of these.. in various states of tune and one with a pd150 engine in it... get some audi pepperpots on them your taking 23 kilos off the unsprung mass and its noticeable, also take the rear seats out if you dont use them... their like 34 kilos and only take 2 seconds to take out.. those two modifications will greatly enhance your driving pleasure in a way you will notice.. want to go further too replace the battery for a slimline one saving 12 kilos and remove the rear bumper support bar is 19 kilos. the last one might be extreme to some but fine with me. lastly the best modification i have done is to fit a ptw 6 speed box from a mk7 golf 1.6bluemotion.. transforms the a2 into a refined motorway cruiser.. think 80mph at 2000rpms... the box costs 500 though... 4 times as much as what i payed for the car. egr delete kit also helps with the roll on performance and reduces lag on the tdi75. i have to say a mapped tdi90 gives you a lovely torque shove from 1600rpms and up.. feels totaly different to a tdi75.

Your forum doesn't need plugging, it's an integral part of owning an A2 by all accounts! So nice to visit a motor trade business like Stealth that's 100% b***s*** free. It's like a breath of fresh air, depending where you stand when the dyno run is active of course ;)

@DaveJohnson 5 лет назад

Great to see some decent gains on this little engine. I recently had my S3 remapped by a company called R-Tech and the results are amazing. Having 5 switchable maps available at the press of the pedal is a great feature, although I only use the 5th map for full power.

Thanks Pedro! I was lucky to be offered this car by Audi UK. The condition is 100% down to their careful ownership as it's been theirs since around 2006, initially as a chauffeur car for collecting VIPs and in the last few years on their heritage fleet, available for members of the media to borrow.

@chrisw3327 3 года назад

I had my A2 1.4 TDI 75 mapped by Vince a few years ago and was also very very pleased. It totally transformed the driving experience. Funnily enough, I came across this channel because I now have a Skoda Citigo (so was watching for Up! content). After watching this video of Stealth Racing, it reminded me of the improvement, so I am going to get my CHYA 1.0 59 bhp engine mapped (hopefully to around 85 bhp with more torque). It might well be the least powerful car that Stealth has mapped 🤓. Sandwiched in the middle of these two cars, I had a 320 bhp BMW M135i, so a little different in terms of power. The other two cars were/are still fun to drive though.......based mainly on handling and feedback. Also, I am no longer bankrupt at the end of each month.

The A2 is an outstanding piece of Audi design, the MK1 TT got the spotlight at the time but these wee cars in TDI form where way ahead of their time. Looking at the classifieds it’s difficult to get into one with less than 80k miles, always the sign of a great car.

I recently bought one to stop using my B7 turbo for my commute and it's really adept at a 70-mile round trip five days a week. 75hp isn't electrifying, but the 3-pot warble keeps it interesting and it can move along at a fair lick on a b-road because there's surprisingly good mechanical grip and momentum.

My 1.4 when mapped went from 75 to 102bhp and torque from 125 to about 175 ft lbs. still the slowest thing I’ve owned but it makes it drivable. Making it drivable is why I done it and makes overtaking on the motorway much easier

UPDATE PLEASE! Having lived with the re-map for a while what are your thoughts? Performance & economy before & after? A2 is that rare beast that's built up to a standard rather than down to a price and hit bottom value wise before they start to be appreciated. Re-map would be key upgrade, do you know of potential suspension upgrades? Think rally rather than circuit: it would see plenty of action on rough roads in West of Ireland which VAG stuff doesn't do well, need properly supple setup.

@volkswizard 4 года назад

Hi, the car has just been sold but I loved every minute of the remap, didn't affect mpg much at all, it can actually improve it unless you drive it hard using all the extra performance all the time. Before it was terrible, really, almost dangerous slow. Now it's better than adequate and can keep up with typical outside lane driving speeds on a UK motorway no problem. Only handicap is the gearing which is a bit short so above 80 mph (I'd estimate) it's not very relaxing. Easily got over 400 miles from a tank with a lot of urban driving which isn't ideal for economy, steady 50-65 and it would go much higher I think but I never drive like that! Rattles at idle but once you get going it's perfectly fine. Wish it had start-stop though!

@seansverige 4 года назад

@@volkswizard Thanks for the swift response. Chimes with what I'd expect, if you don't rag it extra power means it's not working as hard. Don't do too much m'way and tend to top out at 80 for a quiet life anyway. Any forums, sites to check out suspension possibilities? Lost a sump in a VW on a road I know - hell, on a _bump_ I know - at a speed that *was* perfectly sensible (& legal) in my Modus.

Hi, regarding remap, what are your thoughts of a mild remapping the Up GTI, It this something you would recommend?

@volkswizard 5 лет назад

This won't make me popular with tuners but this is my opinion which you have asked for. I feel the Up! GTI already feels like a remapped car in that the chassis can barely cope with 115 PS & 200 nm of torque, particularly in wet so a remap mild or otherwise would be pushing it well beyond its comfort zone. The traction control is already hyperactive and clumsy in the way it deals with slip, adding more will only make it worse. And then there are the tyres. Even if you fit the best non-eco tryes, with a remap I can't see them coping any better than the stock tyres with the stock map (i.e. badly). Then there are warranty issues which VW have lost any sense of humour about and will do anything to reject these days (I know from experience). If you want a faster car, buy a 6C Polo GTI. I still love the standard Up! GTI package, well apart from the useless WLTP helping tyres, changing those should be the first place to put £400.

@TravisCram-zl6ur Год назад

I need some help! I'm from the other side of the pond and the Audi A2 was not available here. Especially with the 1.4 tdi. Someone has dropped off a brand new 1.4 tdi at the technical school I work at and I am having a hard time finding what year it is and any kind of wiring schematic. I was hoping I could salvage a harness out of a 1.9 or 2.0 tdi. Its not a common rail and it does not have an injection pump hanging off the timing cover like the early tdi. The head does have a round multi pin connector in it with four pins used. I was planning on swapping it into something but have had a horrible time finding info on it here in the sates.

Jim, all cars are different as they are mass produced so will vary. TDI PD diesels have always put out more than standard, in fact most cars do because customers won't complain about a bit too much power but can reject cars if they are under. The actual point of the video isn't to assess what the car came with as standard nor really what it ended up with but to look at the difference between the two. The numbers are actually academic though, the improvement in the driving experience is what really matters and the numbers if anything under play this (having driven it for a week now I can see it's even better than I thought at the time).

Luckily it was replaced with the Audi A1, more sporty and aggressive, like every Audi should be.

You must not know about how much of a technological feat it is, Audi were thought of more as an intelligent car company back then, instead of being like BMW or Mercedes.

Yes, I know all the technology inside that little car, the most unique one is that you can check the fluids inside the engine without open the hood. Also, it is made all of aluminum and that is an innovative way to reduce weight even nowadays. But I must admit, this car is ugly and is not fun to drive. That’s basically why it didn’t sell well. Audi was too ahead of time for us back in the days.

@@aian9597 Actually, my TDi90 is great fun to drive. All the weight's low down so it handles well. Not quite as comfortable as the Jag 2.7 S-type it replaced but it's a lot more fun and actually the back seat's the same size. The engine's half the size, it weighs half as much and returns double the milage. Only downside really is engine and road noise and it's crashy over humps on the low-profile tyres. Ya may think it's ugly but hey. it's super slippery. BMW looked to the A2 for inspiration when they designed the i3 so there's that. 145,000 miles down. Another 150,000 to go! :-D

Andy Lewis this is indeed a car that return a smile on your face. Even though is not funny to drive or super fast, she knows how to satisfy you

It's SO disappointing to see such a fine job done on content, but such an ABYSMAL job on audio. Your sound is comically bad. Not only is your background noise drowning you out, but your voice is a mere whisper, as if you're a golf announcer. Shape up, fog bunny!

Please get an update for your microphone too, before making any more videos.... The level of wind and background noise is really annoying. I lasted 3 minutes.
