Why are VAG so keen to stop aftermarket tuning? If it's known that an engine is tuneable doesn't it potentially sell more cars?

Because like anyone who design something and knows everything about the thing there designing it for as they have access to said designers they take all sorts of things into consideration with there maps. They prob want to reduce the risk of more warrenty claims too. VW spend month after months and years testing there maps in all sorts of conditions and bench test the engines to over 175,000 miles time and time again. Tunners like to spend a week if that and call it extensive testing :grin: VW maps also learn and adapt were as some tunners you stick an air filter on it gets upset. :grin: Why do they protect them, maybe they know something more.

got some performance figures for you here from EVO
no bad considering the others are more powerful by 11-30hp!! takes the mini up until 80mph before its extra 30hp allows it to beat the Polo. they should really have compared it to the normal Coop S though and not the Cooper S JCW

not when they should buy the flag ship model instead. Buy a GTI for 20k add £500 remap and have R32/ed30 performance. Would cost you alot more to buy the R32. Same with the diesel guys, why pay extra for a CR170, when a CR140 will hit nearly 190hp with a £350 remap.

Maybe also to prevent more warrenty issues ?
