Product Details

Unlike "generic" diesel tuning systems, this advanced, self fit chip will be programmed specifically to optimise your VW Golf MK6 2.0 TDI. And because it works in conjunction with your on-board computer rather than altering it, all engine safety functions remain operational. What's more, the system can be easily unplugged, leaving no trace of fitment, returning your vehicle to factory standard at any time.

The CHIP Express™ system simply plugs in using connectors which are identical to those originally fitted by the manufacturer - there are no wires to cut, just follow the supplied photo-instructions for your specific engine and you'll have the job done in minutes. Once installed, you will immediately feel the transformation. You'll pull away with ease, climb hills effortlessly and enjoy extra reserves of power when you need them. Your whole driving experience will be enhanced thanks to the significant boosts in performance. You'll feel the improved acceleration, the cleaner, crisper throttle response and enjoy smoother gear changes – turbo lag and hesitation off the mark will be replaced by a faster, more linear and instantaneous delivery of performance; you'll also appreciate a reduction in engine noise. Improvements in torque will transform low end dynamics and allow you to keep RPM's down by holding taller gears while using less throttle for similar speeds, helping you save fuel. Remember while most tuning companies aim to provide maximum power our aim is to also refine drivability and in gear flexibility, providing a wider spread of usable performance where you need it most!

Better Economy

By making your engine significantly more fuel-efficient, the CHIP Express™ digital tuning system means you can achieve substantially better economy from your MK6 2.0 TDI too. You'll drive on a smaller throttle opening for a given speed and change gear less, getting you further on a tank of diesel!

Before
After
 
 

* Typical economy results between 8-16% yet can produce up to 20% depending on engine tolerances, driving style and conditions. CHIP Express™ diesel tuning chips may also increase the maximum speed of your vehicle by up to 5%; applies to non speed limited vehicles only.

Ever wondered why the manufacturer didn't program it this way as standard?

Vehicle manufacturers are forced to compromise when they set up the engine's ECU, to create vehicles which will operate in a wide variety of markets and conditions.

  • Many countries, for example, impose emission controls which are far more rigorous than those we have in the UK.
  • Other countries relate their vehicle taxation systems to power output rather than engine size.
  • Some, like the UK, impose higher taxation for different emission levels.
  • In many cases power is deliberately restricted for future use.
  • Finally the manufacturers themselves often produce several different performance variants of a given model.

To meet all these different needs, they re-program the vehicle's ECU to change the engine requirements. Now, thanks to CHIP Express™ class-leading, state of the art solutions, you can benefit from greater low-down torque for improved pulling power, higher output for better out-and-out performance, and better fuel economy!

Feedback From Our Customers

Gary from Carrickfergus with a VW Golf MK7 2.0 TDI 150 said: Please feel free to 'post' this response. I recently acquired my 'tuning box' for my VW Golf (Mark 7, 150 PS) from 'CHIP Express' and have been delighted with it's acquisition. The price was very competitive when compared with other reputable suppliers. The very impressive results upon fitting were available instantaneously in that acceleration in all gears (especially the lower ones) is not only smooth but also extremely progressive. All in all I'm a very 'happy bunny' with the product, many thanks.
Carl from Esher with a VW Golf MK6 2.0 TDI 140 GT said: Just fitted my chip. Very easy to fit. Very clear instructions. The improvement in performance is just what I wanted. Lots of extra torque making overtaking even easier without the tyre burning wheel spin of too much power. Perfect, saved me thousands when compared to the cost of the 170 GTD!
James from Mirani, Australia with a VW Golf MK7 2.0 TDI 184 said: Just installed chip on a VW Golf Alltrack 2017 model with the GTD engine. It took 3 minutes to install. Very simple! Did not want it for extra performance as it already goes like stink. I installed for lower fuel consumption. After doing a favourite Sunday drive, the car averaged 0.6 litres per 100km less! (5.8 to 5.2 l/100). The drive to work and back, about 100km both ways, has dropped 0.8 on my previous average. I will also fess up and admit that the extra torque is the cream on top. This little box of tricks has turned what is a beautiful car to drive into something stunning. How you can make an engine perform more with less fuel has me buggered!! Fantastic product.
Wolfgang from Ontario, Canada with a VW Golf MK6 2.0 TDI 140 said: Had my CHIP Express hardware now for about 9 month and love it. I drive a 2.0L TDI Golf Wagon (2010) in Canada and installed the chip in under 10 minutes. The HP and torque increased instantly after installation. The engine sounds a little bit different, however It appears to sound better. My gas (diesel) mileage increased by over 10%. I used to cruise with an average mileage of 5.4 L/100km, thanks to CHIP Express this has improved to about 4.7 L/100km. I ended up increasing the output by two notches (settable on the control unit), I could feel the increase. Great Product, easy to install and easy to remove for VW Maintenance Service. I would highly recommend the Chip Express for the fuel savings or for the increased power.
Lee from Halifax with a VW Golf MK7 2.0 TDI 184 said: I have been running the chip for a couple of thousand miles and I'm getting great results. Economy on the whole is about 7-8 miles more than without the chip. VW's figures leave allot to be desired! Currently running at around 52mpg combined and the performance on what was already a quick car is incredible! Even in Eco mode the pick up is amazing. All in all the chip is brilliant and I would recommend the chip to anyone looking to make gains in both mpg and performance.
Alex from Dundee with a VW Golf MK7 2.0 TDI 184 said: Received and fitted this afternoon – HOLY MOCUS!!!! It was rapid before but now it’s incredible!! I'm going to leave it on the setting as sent, fast enough and pulls like a train.
Ryan from Calgary, Canada with a VW Golf MK6 2.0 TDI Clean Diesel 140 said: Received and installed. My car idles and runs smoother, as well as a noticeable difference in gears 2 through to 6. The installation instructions were easy to follow and everything fitted perfectly first time. thanks!
Gordon from Tipton with a VW Golf MK7 2.0 TDI 150 said: Just to let you know that I've been running the chip for 4000 miles now and am impressed with the results. I noticed the difference immediately with low end power and have seen huge gains on motorway MPG. Put the car in sport mode and its unbelievably quick and no smoke (as I have found with cheaper chips). I would thoroughly recommend CHIP Express to anyone, with the savings I'm making with fuel the chip will have paid its self off in no time!
Stephen from Grimsby with a VW Golf MK7 2.0 TDI DSG 184 said: I sent my chip back to get an upgrade from a MK6 Golf GT to a Golf MK7 GTD DSG, the turn round was only 2 days from posting. The DSG auto box is so much smoother and the fuel consumption is also much better, for example set cruise at outside lane motorway speeds today and got a return of 58.9 mpg. I have had this chip now for 6 years on different Golfs and it has never let me down!
Mike from Andover with a VW Golf MK7 2.0 TDI 184 said: I have just bought one of your chips for my Golf GTD, 2013. Having fitted it within minutes I am astounded at the difference it has made to an already quick car. There are no flat spot at all in any gear and it will now spin the wheels in second gear if you floor it!
Richard from Tavistock with a VW Golf MK7 2.0 TDI 184 said: What a transformation! Vastly improves the fun to function ratio in all driving styles and moods yet amazingly with no loss of economy, in fact an improvement. A word too about after sales support, first class. Would recommend product and company anytime.
Mark from Bristol with a VW Golf MK7 1.6 TDI 110 said: Originally fitted on my Golf Mark 6, I then got a new Golf Mark 7 in 2014 and paid for my original to be upgraded because I had been so impressed. This was done and I had a small issue that was swiftly resolved the same day! Talk about great customer service! Just wish other companies were as good. FOLLOW UP: I forgot to mention in my earlier feedback about the difference the chip made to my cars. In both cases the flexibility and power increase was really noticeable especially as a colleague had the same cars so I could switch between a normal and chipped one to compare.
Allan from Yandina, Australia with a VW Golf MK6 2.0 TDI 140 said: I bought the chip unit about 5 years ago for my 2010 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 TDI. I am very happy with it. I have always kept it on the standard setting. I live in Australia and now get between 3-4 litres per 100km on flat road, I am very happy with the improvements. Thanks for a great product! Sincerely, Allan.
Kristian from Marbella, Spain with a VW Golf MK6 2.0 TDI 140 said: I just got back from a European tour of 5000km and that GOLF drives better than ever. I have now enjoyed 6 months of noticeable improved economy. Torque is now effortless up to 3000rpm and I now do 17km/l when pushing it and on cruise control at 100-120kmh somewhere between 22-26km/l, crazy when my BMW M3 is struggling to do 9km/l. I highly recommend the chip. I am one happy bunny!
Chris from Beechworth, Australia with a VW Golf MK5 2.0 TDI 140 said: The cost of diesel is on the rise which is why I chose to get a one of your chips, now in combination with a 2.5" s/s mandrel bent turbo back exhaust, EGR delete kit, catch can fed into exhaust and high flow inlet I get on average 4-4.9l/100km with more torque and HP than I could ever need. The CHIP made the engine so much smoother and only took a handful of minutes to fit. Thank you from my family and myself, we are 100% satisfied and recommend you too choose CHIP Express!
Don from Auckland, New Zealand with a VW Golf MK5 1.9 TDI 105 DSG said: Last Saturday I fitted my new Chip Express system and all I can say is WOW!! It measured up to every aspect that you promoted it on as regards the upgrade in performance. It is measurably smoother, in fact quieter, far more torque, and changes gears much more rapidly... it is very quick now! Cheers.
David from Ryton with a VW Golf MK5 2.0 TDI 140 said: The chip is amazing! Just plugged it in this afternoon. The torque is unbelivable, so is the power. I had to settle for a Golf GTTDI instead of a GTI due to insurance and petrol costs, but this chip has just made it better than any GTI. My so called 140PS Golf is now one not to be messed with. Thanks Chip Express!
David from Chelmsford with a VW Golf MK5 2.0 TDI 140 said: WOW what a change, it feels like a different car... it now feels like I'm driving a GTi. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I have not got a clue about engines but with your instructions it was easy! Thanks very much!

What others are saying...

“A friend recommended one of your "gadgets" a year ago and being not-very-techno (but Scottish and keen to save money!) I bought one. The gizmo has TRANSFORMED the performance of my Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4 AND improved the fuel economy by a genuine 15%; so much so that I have bought another one for our Freelander 2 SD4 which is now a REAL Q-car! (And of course saves fuel...) I have never written a review before (though strangely I do read them and take notice of them, whilst half-believing that they are written by the owner's chums!) so to have made me pick up pen & paper so to speak - I MUST be delighted! Thanks for making technology so simple and so successful!”

“As do many, I took the 'if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is' approach to performance chips. But CHIP Express were recommended by an impeccable source who had had experience with their product on my model of car - a Citroën C6 with the 2.7 HDi twin turbo diesel. Following a first rate response to a query, the product has delivered in spades. Ten days and more than 1000 miles of mixed town, country, low and high speed driving later I am certainly getting more than 10% more from a gallon, and probably 15%, and the performance is markedly better. Low speed response is immediate and has eradicated what I took to be baked-in lag in a big automatic turbo diesel, and mid-range acceleration is silky smooth, including up inclines. A very good car has been turned into the excellent car I had hoped for all along.”

“Be assured, this is NO gimmick. Arrived yesterday (less then 24 hours after the order was placed) and fitted today. The fitting was easy especially with the photos and instructions sent with the chip. The first thing I noticed was the responsiveness of the engine from a standing start, no more lag. I then went on a 30 minute drive both motorway and sideroads and my average fuel consumption went UP from 33.3mpg to 38.7mpg. My motorway speed varied from 60 to 85mph and the sideroads from zero to 40mph. I am so pleased with the whole result. This is worth every single penny paid. Thank you!”

“I must say l'm delighted with the improvement from your chip, its on the standard settings and the difference in the car is amazing!!! I have a smile on my face every time I get in the car, and there is about 5-7mpg improvement. With the mileage l do, l can see myself getting my money back in no time at all. So if your a doubter like me, don't be because its one of the best things l've ever bought!!!”

“Many thanks for your fantastic service! Unit ordered Sunday, delivered Tuesday am!! Unit now fitted and, as promised, the car is transformed. Winding country lanes tackled quite happily in fifth gear. Cruising on much smaller throttle openings and immediate response on acceleration. The car behaves as a mini car should behave. I had some initial doubts about spending quite a large amount of money on this item but it is worth every penny and would not hesitate to advise anyone to do similar.”

“May I congratulate you on this diesel tuning product as it has made a noticeable difference to my Land Rover Discovery. I have tried other diesel tuning boxes for my previous vehicles (Kia Sorento, Peugeot 206 and Vauxhall Vectra)... and they all produced slight engine stuttering under certain load conditions. The CHIP Express system does not show any evidence of this and is equal to the likes of an ECU remap (which I have also had done before) for smoothness and noticeable power gains. This would be the only diesel tuning product I would recommend.”
