Why so much Stage 2 and Stage 3 work on this generation?
It is a strong favourite among enthusiasts, so many cars arrive with intake, exhaust or turbo modifications already fitted.
What is the R32?
It is the naturally aspirated V6 range-topper of this generation, a much-admired model. It is covered in our catalogue.
Is a remap worthwhile on a car of this age?
It depends on engine condition. A well-maintained 1.9 TDI responds well, but remapping does not compensate for wear.
