I heard that this TDI tuning only works for the 110 horsepower version.
Does this also work perfectly every time with the 90 horsepower version?
I also read that there's a possibility of placing the resistor in parallel between cable 1 and cable 2. Should the resistor be as small or as large as possible in this case?
Zwischen Pumpenkabel zwei und drei wird ja je kleiner der widerstand wird die leistung am grössten. CORRECT?
In Kabel eins, the performance is greatest when the resistance is at its lowest. Correct?
And how does it work between cable one and cable two? Does higher resistance mean more or less power?
But does it actually work, regardless of the method used, for every 90 and 110 PS TDI engine?

Not here.

Or does this also work one hundred percent of the time with the 90 horsepower variant?

Most of the time, see also the post by DocSnyder.

Wrong.

Hello,
What happens if I install the 10-cent tuning modification after removing the two diodes?
Do I achieve the same power output with pre-biased diodes as I would without diodes, or do diodes result in a power loss?
The resistance is reduced by approximately half due to the diodes. I understand that.
BUT is the resulting or achievable performance the same?

"Wrong, sorry, without basic knowledge of electronics, I'm just talking nonsense."
Take a look online at the different types of diodes available. Also, examine the current-voltage (U/I) characteristic curve of a diode; this will help you understand the purpose, especially in conjunction with the "idle problem" when using active 10C tuning. Why are two diodes used? The regulator is subjected to a sinusoidal current.

Best regards, Rainer.

Does anyone have a schematic diagram for the '10-cent tuning' method?
