Leon fr cr 140 remap

[Jempe1012]

Looking at buying a new seat Leon fr cr 140 tdi 12 plate from my local garage, just wondering what can you get out of this engine from a remap, because I have heard its the same engine as the 170 tdi.

Any info would be great

Cheers guys

From memory a mate of mine had a 140 a while ago and he had it mapped to 175 - 180

APR now do a remap for the 140CR.

Cheers for the replys guys, but this is what I can't understand, if its the same engine as the 170tdi why can't it be remapped to what the 170 can ei 200bhp?

I've seen mention of the 170CR having a different turbo to the 140CR. The US spec engines appear to have even more differences. Have a look here (Post #11):-

Just to confirm although it might be the same block, the turbo and mapping etc are different

Same as the PD140/PD170 which was similar but different

like a lot of people said that the engine on the FR is the same as on the Cupra, the single difference being the turbo, so you will find on the 140-170 engine...

I think there are differences, look at the FR vs Cupra engine:
- new ECU
- larger turbo-charger
- reinforced pistons and engine block
- strengthened connecting rods
- new ultra-heat-resistant alloy for the cylinder head
- larger fuel injectors

(after this comes bigger brakes, bigger disks, lower and harder suspension ++)

And yes, all this for 40 more BHP...

Think this thread is on diesel 140 and diesel 170 common rail engines.

Id do yourself a favour and get a 170 if you have the money mate

For not much more you can get something like this one with excellent spec:-

Or a very well specced low mileage DSG model.
