About this remap

Volkswagen Polo 1.6 TDI CR 75 hp Stage 1 — what changes

The Volkswagen Polo 1.6 TDI CR 75 hp (2009–) leaves the factory at 73 BHP and 195 Nm of torque. Manufacturers deliberately detune this engine to separate it from more expensive variants in the range — a Regal Tuning Stage 1 calibration safely recovers that headroom through the ECU alone: no hardware changes, no dyno risk, fully reversible.

Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition and torque limiters are optimised within the safe tolerances of the 1.6 TDI CR 75 hp powertrain (diesel). The result is 88 BHP and 230 Nm with factory smoothness, cold-start protection and emissions behaviour retained.
