Is the vehicle’s reliability affected?
The durability of mechanical parts is dependent on the design and conditions to which a part is subjected. As we know from our work with the factory, many parts used in VAG vehicles are designed in accordance with the platform-sharing principle. For example this can mean that the same gearbox is fitted in different vehicles and engine-power outputs. Hence all components have a significant over-engineering tolerance in order to ensure that the factory can use these components safely in other models, with different power outputs and weights. Our race programme has proven the inherent over-engineering of the VAG range in extreme conditions. What this means is that every one of our Stage 1 and 2 range of remaps have been proven to still operate within the usage range determined by the engineers.
