About remapping
This entry covers the Volkswagen Golf 7 R, with 128 files in our catalogue. It is entirely the 2.0 TFSI petrol turbo in its R specification, including the OPF versions of later cars. It is the most powerful Golf of its generation, with all-wheel drive.
Stage 1 makes up 42 files against 31 Stage 2 — a very high second-level proportion, reflecting how heavily these cars are modified. The ECUs are SIMOS18 and SIMOS18.10, plus a notable spread of transmission units: DQ250, DQ250 6A and DQ380 in its MQB form.

Why so much Stage 2 work on the Golf R?
Because a large share of these cars arrive with intake, exhaust or intercooler modifications already fitted. If your car is standard, Stage 1 applies.
What are the DQ transmission ECUs?
They are the dual-clutch gearbox units. Work on them adjusts shift points and torque limits, which matters on a car with this much torque.
What is the OPF version?
It is the variant fitted with a petrol particulate filter to meet later emissions standards. It is covered in our catalogue.
