has anyone here remapped 1.9tdi BXE has your engine thrown a conrod yet?

[Mohnishvishal]

just bought a 2009 1.9 bxe 105bhp 80k miles jetta felt like it might need a ecu remap a to increase bhp by 30% torque by 30% but am worried about the engine throwing the conrod ..i heard that the conrod problem was fixed by 2008 and 2009is it true ? if anyone here modded your bxe engine how does it hold up and how many miles did you get out of it....tnx for answering

what type of TDI are we talking?

Haven't heard of con-rod failure from simple remap, but have seen plenty from other problems, such as leaking injector, oil ingestion, starting aid.

I don't know that engine in detail, but for the most part con rod failure is rare on US bound TDIs. Usually a major failure is involved and the con rod gets bent by that failure. I put 140K miles on a 100hp PD with a remap and no con-rod failure.

Thanks for the reply man how much did it cost you to do a remap

hmm, the remap was done at an event so I got show pricing. It was done in 2006. At the time the ECM had to removed and put on bench programmer. I want to say $200, but it could have been closer to $300.

PS: now it costs $499 - $699 and can be done thru the diag port.

my bjb 2006 altea dropped a rod at stage 1 power with 110k miles most common is between 2006-2008 for bxe/bls rod failure weve done a few mk4 to mk5 platform conversions because a few customers want to go above 200hp which i dont recomend on a bls or bxe best option is to get a bkc from 2004/2005 there much stronger than bxe and its plug and play
