FMIC VRS/TDi

[Official Ferris]

Hi All

 

Is the standard VRS (1.4) front mounted intercooler the same as the 1.6 tdi?

 

Many thanks in advance,

Fez

Shame it's dark or I'd go out and pop the hood on the Monte and vRS and look.

If no solid reply tonight I'll look tomorrow lol.

Cheers, appreciate the quick reply! Just looking at options pre-remap as if it's the same ill phone forge and order the 'bigger' FMIC and just get the relevant pipes to make it fit my Monte TDi. - there's just so little around on the 1.6 CR lump ... even on the VW and Audi forums.

Maybe try 'Darkside Developments' and see what they are doing for the Mk2, if anything.

 

They have the MK1, Polo, Ibiza etc Intercooler & Pipes.

?Who is doing the Remap for you?

[PhilTheGeek]

They've got different part numbers so they're not the same.

 

vRS is 6R0 145 805F

TDi is 6R0 145 805

What does the last letter stand for? Online ive seen H C and F .... whats it mean?

Dunno whos doing the map yet.

Cheers

ive been looking for options for fabia VRS im not willing to pay the £500 that forge charge, is there any reason why you couldnt pick up a universal intercooler and make it fit?

 

I've been tempted by a ford focus RS mk2 intercooler. ive seen them picked up for as little as £5.00....

Yeh they are blooming expensive!!

I've been down the universal route with my old mk1 fab vrs. It does the job but I didnt save any money as the pipes that came with it didnt have lips and the pipes were sub standard so by the time you buy new metal pipes with lips from forge etc. And then an additonal pipe for the air sensor suddenly the total is 800 odd that it costs to get the better forge product. ImO.

Or buy universal then buy proper forge pipework? Should still make a saving perhaps?

Trying some contacts at VAG to see if I can understand the lettering a little more

What power are you going for?

Have you spoken to Darkside Developments?

Or maybe 'Shark'.

 

Brimma has a Remaped 1.6 TDI CR & a vRS front on it,

i dont think he has a Upgraded Intercooler, but not read the Project Thread recently.

[PhilTheGeek]

I think I can break down the part numbering:

 

6R = Polo platform (PQ25)

0 = Generic platform variant i.e. it's the same for all the 6R platform

145 805 = Intercooler

 

From a quick check the variants are:

No suffix=Polo TDi Cold and Not hot countries/Ibiza TDi/Fabia TDi/A3 1.6 TDi

A=Doesn't exist

B=Polo TDi Moderate hot, hot and super hot countries

C=Ibiza Twin Charger 1.4 TSi

D=Doesn't exist

E=Exists but was replaced by H

F=Polo/Fabia/A3 Twin Charger 1.4 TSi/A3 2.0 TDi

G=Doesn't exist

H=The only reference I can find is that it was fitted to the Ibiza 1.2TSi but I'm not too sure about that.
