Hello TDI fans,
I have a Ford Galaxy 66/90 KW/HP. After I have now towed my caravan (1500 KG) over the Alps for the first time, I would like a few more horsepower. I have already read quite a bit about tuning (10c, chip, etc.) and hope that this will help me.
However, I have concerns regarding the engine cooling. During my crossing of the Alps with the factory settings, the temperature gauge was already close to the red zone. My question is whether the aforementioned tuning measures will further increase the engine temperature, or whether, despite the increased engine performance, the temperature will remain within an acceptable range, since the engine is not operating at its limit.

... is already quite low, you often have to drive at full speed for hours. Based on my own experience, the engine doesn't last very long.
Why don't you check out the accessories store to see if there's an additional air-oil cooler that fits your engine? With a high probability, your engine already has an oil-water heat exchanger, but that's not enough.
With tuning and its exploitation, your engine temperature naturally increases, i.e., if tuning, then moderately ~110PS and definitely additional cooling measures.
You might also be able to improve the airflow through the air-intake cooler if your front bumper still has potential for it. In my A3, I now have a second horizontal row of air intake slots.

Hello Rainer! What do you mean by that? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the word 'moderat.' icon_redface.gif

Hello Rainer,
Thank you for the tip. Do the air intake vents for the cargo air conditioning provide more power or/and better cooling?
*** offers an oil cooler for the Sharan.

Has anyone had experience with this? Is the installation complicated?
Are there any other more affordable alternatives?

... a detailed article is planned that will illustrate the modifications. Supported by some measurement values.
At least on my A3, from a purely logical perspective, I need to measure how much °C the air temperature needs to be reduced.
Since my first The laptop order turned out to be a complete failure, and I'm currently waiting for the results of order number 2. Could it take a little longer? icon_rolleyes.gif
