Help differentiating CR/PD

Distinguishing between Common Rail (CR) 
and Unit Injector (PD)

Applicable to certain Volkswagen AG model series with 2.0 TDI engines

Several Audi, Seat, Skoda and VW model series with 2.0 TDI engines use both CR and PD ("Pumpe-Düse" / Unit injector) technology.

RaceChip chip tuning is specially customized to the applicable fuel injection technology with respect to both hardware and software. If your vehicle is specified in the list of applicable models below (all other 2.0 TDI models feature just one type of technology), it is important to determine, before choosing a tuning product, which type of injection technology is installed in your vehicle. For such models, you will therefore find the “CR” or “PD” designation after your engine code.

Performance The following Volkswagen Group model series are applicable: Engine code CR Engine code PD
100kW (136hp) Audi: A3 (8P), A6 (C6)
VW: Golf Plus, Jetta V, Passat B6 		CAGB, CBAA, CFFA AZV, BMA, BNA, BRF
103kW (140hp) Audi: A3 (8P)
Seat: Altea (5P)
Skoda: Octavia (1Z), Superb (3T)
VW: Caddy (2K, 2C), Eos (1F), Golf V,
Golf VI, Jetta V, Passat B6, Touran (1T) 		CBAB, CBDB, CFFB,
CFHC, CJAA, CLCB,
CLJA 		BKD, BKP, BMM, BMP

If your vehicle is in this list and you are not sure if it is a CR or PD version, then simply follow one of the following steps to identify CR or PD technology.

Using the engine code:

For PD models, the engine code consists of 3 characters, while for CR there are 4 characters. You can find your vehicle’s engine code in the specification sheet in your service booklet or on the data sticker in your engine bay.

Perfectly engineered for Maruti

Make your vehicle stronger with RaceChip

The Maruti vehicle brand resulted from a joint venture between Suzuki and the Indian government. In 2007 the name was changed from MarutiUdyog to Maruti Suzuki India Limited when the Suzuki Group acquired 54% of the company shares. Maruti vehicles are especially popular in India but are increasingly being pushed out by Tata Motors, for example. Popular models from Maruti include the Ritz, Swift and SX4.

Maruti fans are often interested in engine tuning. For this reason RaceChip offers its popular Powerboxes, which get the most out of your Maruti. To make your SX4 a real road warrior we offer you Ultimate enging tuning. Boost your SX4 1.3 CRDi from 90 HP and 200 Nm to up to 116 HP and 283 Nm. Of course, you can also adjust the power according to your own needs.

Warm-up timer

GTS 5 Black activates only when the engine has reached operating temperature, meaning extra protection.

An app ahead with RaceChip

As one of the first international chip tuning companies, RaceChip has developed a combination of chip tuning and app. This lets you customize your vehicle's performance characteristics like never before. The combination of chip and app works easily via Bluetooth or your smartphone.

You can download and get to know the RaceChip app for free. With RaceChip, you can utilize this amazing extra function for just na USD.

Better throttle response

We developed RaceChip XLR to increase responsiveness on the road. Your engine’s performance isn’t affected by RaceChip XLR, but you can access it more immediately and directly. Experience significantly sharper responses for yourself – no waiting for the message to get through or frustrating hesitations.

7 separate stages

Our innovative throttle tuning system lets tune your engine’s reactions to your taste – choose from 7 separate stages.

  • 2 Sport (S, S+) and 2 Race stages (R, R+) sharpen throttle response, speeding up the engine’s reaction times, making it as reactive as even a sportscar’s.
  • 2 Eco stages (E, E+) slow down the engine’s reaction to movements of the throttle. In heavy city traffic and on long journeys, this can help you reduce fuel consumption.
  • You can select N if don’t want or need to use XLR, and your car is back to stock tune.

Easy to install

Simple and easy to understand – installed in a few steps:

  • Unplug the wire from the throttle at the connector.
  • Connect the Brainbox to the connector/adaptor.
  • Mount the Brainbox on a smooth surface in the footwell.
  • To control XLR: connect the Controller with the Brainbox, or set up the RaceChip app.
  • Done! Now – go drive and enjoy!

Perfect add on to chiptuning

You can experience totally new driving sensations if you combine RaceChip XLR with one of our chip tuning modules. The extra power and torque that chip tuning brings is perfectly complemented by the immediate throttle response made possible by throttle tuning. Together, they push back the limits of driving enjoyment.

Alternatively: app control

RaceChip is the first company to offer throttle tuning together with app control. The combination gives you the easiest ever way of controlling your vehicle’s throttle response. RaceChip XLR connects directly with the RaceChip app on your smartphone via Bluetooth.

If you already have a RaceChip chip tuning module in your car, XLR is the perfect add-on, and using them together is even easier – you can control both modules from the driver’s smartphone using the same app.
