Every diesel car I've ever owned was tuned and I've done more than 150k km's on every single one when tuned. These were BMW's, Alfa's, VAG diesels and Renaults. No point in not tuning them when it's so easy to get extra performance for the cost of a few fuel tank loads, you get better fuel economy at no extra costs too becuase the car actually struggles less in daily driving. Maybe your engine will run for 500k km in total instead of 700k km as it would stock, big deal.
🙏🤞🏻 the perfect family run around Having lost my job … my home and my car being stolen over the last 6 months this would be life changing for me and my kids 💪
3 seconds off the draggy times 🙌🙌 Wills magic touch 👏👏 this A3 is perfect , cheap tax , cheap insurance, good on fuel , and looks the business 😍 well done Calvin and the team 👏👏👏👏 yet another awesome car to give away free 😁👍
These little 1.6TDI engines are a stage 1 tuning dream! Speaking from experience, had a 2019 A3 & it properly ripped; sure you weren't the fastest thing on the road but you could haul some serious ass if you wanted to. Still miss my little gray rocket sometimes, once the value drops I'll be picking on up again for good ol' times sake
I want to tune my 1.6HDI Citroen C4 (2009) its got the EGS box though and it slips in 2nd without needing to (the clutch is fine) the electronic are over sensitive on it
I have the same engine in my 2017 Golf with 80k miles remapped to 150hp but has the DQ200 gearbox in it. Does anyone know if the gearbox should be serviced as VW claims its lifelong/sealed.
wow will is a great fella what a good job VRS has done to your Audi A3 cal m8.i want to bring my audi 2010 sportback se 1.6 a3 tdi to VRS to stage 1 tune it like this great A3 theyve done..
Luton? I bought a car from the garage next to the auction house, the car needed 5500 worth of work. Is there any decent car sales places there? I see loads advertised
I've a mk6 golf with the same engine and I was wondering about getting a stage 1 tune but the cars milage (225k km/ 140k miles) has me worried that it'll blow up on me!
Is stage 1 reliable? Or Will it bring problems? I want to to a remap to but i am afraid for trouble. Have a ford fiesta 2017 1.5 tdci 85hp and 215 nm standard think after remap it Will have 120 and 270 nm. Anyone van help with some info?
i mean if the price for the satge one is fair maybe its worth it, but for the smaller cars like this you dont gain that much performance gain for your money, my dad spent 1000euros on a stage 1 for a 911 porsche 991.2 and went from 370 hp with around 480Nm torque to 476hp and arround 650Nm torque, and in that case it was money well spent for the performance gain
It's all in percentage, actually both Porsche and Audi gained 30% of the power. 30hp on a 100hp makes a difference, you could barely feel 30hp gain on Porsche.
well hopefully keep trying to enter to win a nice family cheap to run car like this nxt time crushed dream 🤣🤣🤣🤣, but could see went to a good guy so happy days and look forward to seeing him pick it up in the vid great content me and son enjoy , me mk5 astra lives to fight another day 🤣👍😀😀🤞❤❤❤
Hello, have the same A3 1.6TDI 81kw/110hp tuned for 2yrs fully arround 150hp and now I am thinking and would like to hear your opinion about putting the turbo charger from the same car but 2.0 135kw and make a "fine" tune so all the parts work correctly? Is it possible and does it put the engine at risk? Don't need crazy results just to have a little bit more punch when accelerating Regards!
Good luck for Friday everyone! 🎉
See you all on the live at 11:45am 💜

I did actually go to school for a bit. The teachers used to tell me I was clever as well, I think they probably just felt sorry for me.

Really nice car. I like it when you do cars like this and the Golf.

Every turbo car I have owned. I have gotten a stage 1 tune. Not that expensive. And it completely transforms the car

Calv your son growing tall quick. Mini-me
This car is perferct in every way.. as for the vid bro when i see your editing i know you have put sweat in that vid see ya on Friday
It’s a crazy amount of work but luckily I quite enjoy it. Good luck for Friday sir 🫡
Really nice daily car now..cheap as chips to run ...and looks banging⚡️🌪
Spot on daily 👌
Will is the star of the channel!
His knowledge is on another level 👌
I have the same engine in my 2017 Golf with 80k miles remapped to 150hp but has the DQ200 gearbox in it. Does anyone know if the gearbox should be serviced as VW claims its lifelong/sealed.
Good luck everyone I was just wondering Calvin when was the last time you saw a xsara vtr coupe on the road and what do you think of them
How much is a stage 1 remap at VRS?
Lovely looking little whip my kids have nicknamed it ‘ Cadbury’ because it’s the Big Purple One 😂 great vid again Calv
Would anyone know the power increase with a DPF delete added? (Just curious - no need to tell me it's illegal).
Should make 150BHP 150 is around the limit on 1.6 TDI without other work
Since the US doesn't get TDI's anymore, what type of fuel economy do you get with this TDI? I have a 2010 Jetta TDI sedan
wow will is a great fella what a good job VRS has done to your Audi A3 cal m8.i want to bring my audi 2010 sportback se 1.6 a3 tdi to VRS to stage 1 tune it like this great A3 theyve done..
Perfect little daily smoker that calv.looks cool. 😎
Liked the different intro on this one 👍🏾
More rambling conversation in vids please....
I have just doubled checked I am entered for this one, awesome looking a3
This is such a nice car loving the colour
Man I love that thing, great job and lovely colour too calv 👍
Loved the first few minutes calv cool start just some random thoughts
Thanks mate, thought I’d do something different on this one 👌
How much was the remap from vrs?
That's a hell of a car for someone to win for free
Proud as A3 owner
Nice looking car the purple suits it
Where can i get the wrap from?
All links are in description 💜
i wanna tune my audi a3 1.6 , but i still have the egr and dpf , is it possible to tune it and have the egr and dpf still working ?
This colour is awesome what make and colour is the wrap please looking to find closest match to a merlin purple colour to wrap my own vehicle.
Your awesome calvin
Luton? I bought a car from the garage next to the auction house, the car needed 5500 worth of work. Is there any decent car sales places there? I see loads advertised
Who done the steering wheels ? It's class
car looks amazeing looks mint calvin great vid 😃👍👌 anyone in these hard times will be overmoon with it who wins 🤞
How much was the map?
How much did the stage 1 map cost as I have an Audi a4 2.0 TDI and wish to do this to my car??
What transition pack do you use mate?
Loving the edits, so clean, good layout bro
Was it's Stronic tuned too?
Those fools "switching on a machine on" whilst your filming 🤦🏼♂️🤣
Decent run around
Amazing car Calvin. As a Dreamcatcher 🤞
Hello what website do you use to check the specs of the car the one it shows what included in car such as technology pack, sunroof etc..
I would love it as a daily that why I have entered
Cool man !
Spotted the car in Leeds 🤣🤣
Looks great 👍
Well done it's been transformed into a cool looking nippy little daily for someone now 😎 👍
I've a mk6 golf with the same engine and I was wondering about getting a stage 1 tune but the cars milage (225k km/ 140k miles) has me worried that it'll blow up on me!
Ive just done a stage 1 on my audi a3 1.6tdi, cars on 190k miles ;)
@@haider7866 hopefully it's been good so far
@@Theferrariguy update: on 194,500 now and still sweet!
@@haider7866 I have a leon with the same engine on 188k. Yours still running okay??
@@knxve148 yes pal, just ticked over 203,000 miles..gets thraped daily lol
These lil 1.6 liters can go up to 200whp with a mk6 golf gtd turbo swap if done right
Anyone know exactly what spacers and suspension he upgraded to
Mate do you still have Arthur Golf R ?
Calv, what device and app dyu use for draggy times?
bro golf 6 1.6 tdi stage 2 its a demon on the street manual ofc
26 mpg 😳
wicked video calv. always evolving. oh and I'll see you Friday eve to pick my new audi up pal. 😉
"sibling car" - Sorted.
Nice man. Thinking about tuning my 1.6 up.
Amazing work love your videos, good luck everyone who's in for the win
How much hp would a dpf delete add?
Calvin, how much did the Eibach lowering spring lower the car by? 30mm or 40mm?
Calvin, this car is beautiful. Don't usually like purple but it looks great on this audi
I heard Stage 1 remaps were shit on the gearbox/clutch on these cars? Ive held off getting mine done because of it
Why?
2.0 TDI EA288 is a disaster compared to 1.6 same generation
This would be a dream to win getting made redundant in a couple months would do me a touch for running costs compared to my e46
How much?
Is stage 1 reliable? Or Will it bring problems? I want to to a remap to but i am afraid for trouble. Have a ford fiesta 2017 1.5 tdci 85hp and 215 nm standard think after remap it Will have 120 and 270 nm. Anyone van help with some info?
You’ll be fine the focus comes with 1.5 120BHP 300NM
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Could really do with winning this one.

Smashed it again CAL💪👌

I can’t even buy a car let alone even win one. Whenever I find a car to buy.. it’s sold!!!
When are you getting your own car?
I’ve got one but it’s broken (shock)
I’ll get it fixed and reveal it on the channel in the next few weeks it’s almost done now 👍
@@CalvinsCarDiary Cool, keep on the hard work by the way you are producing quality content and we all appreciate it! 🙏🏻

Hello, have the same A3 1.6TDI 81kw/110hp tuned for 2yrs fully arround 150hp and now I am thinking and would like to hear your opinion about putting the turbo charger from the same car but 2.0 135kw and make a "fine" tune so all the parts work correctly?
Is it possible and does it put the engine at risk? Don't need crazy results just to have a little bit more punch when accelerating
Regards!
I’ve got a 1.6TDI A3 2015.
It came with the 2L turbo, got it mapped and it’s at 180HP
im starting to think vrs is your second home.does your wife get jealous
M3 e46 wagon talk to me!!!!
Anyone else get the feeling that Calv has no idea what Will is onabout?😂
Hi mate I keep getting instagram messages but I don’t know if they are from you
So any failure yet ?
Anyone who knows anything about cars knows of Eibach springs...
have them on my ep3, not the best ride feels skatty at high speeds an in vtec. Much better buying yellowspeed or some other kind of coilovers
