Glad to hear it! I still love the tune and the fuel mileage increase is great! Now just know they don’t offer a tune anymore for deleted tdis so If you decide to delete your car you’ll have to look into other tuning that’s the only thing but if you plan on keeping emissions and what not then this is the way to go!
I installed this tune yesterday in my 2014 Golf TDI. Haven't really stepped on it since its been raining like crazy here. But I did notice a bit of extra power. Once it stops raining I'll take it on a test run.
Nice man! I hear the dsg tune really changes the character and drive ability of the car sometimes I wish I got a dsg for practicality fast shifts and easier in stop and go traffic haha
@@DArias yours manual? I didn't have a choice lol this is the one they had in my price range. Have you seen KermaTDI upgrade turbo? Supposed to bump up power to approx 210 and 396 lbs torque? Its $1500. Bet that be fun lol
Yeah mine is manual haha and I have seen it and that would def make for a very fun daily ! Lol I’m on the fence about going bigger but it would be more efficient plus it’ll make more power so it’s a win win
my malone tune has mad torque in 5th on the freeway. 6th is ok. My old neuspeed tune was weak in comparison. 2010 mk6 if you go with a CR170 turbo upgrade and stage 3 you will have around 220whp and sick torque all by pushing through the stock fixed exhaust.
Where do you get 220whp from a CR170? more like 180whp... Unless you're talking about an XMAN hybrid or something. Please let me know if I missed something.
@@DArias Do you, man. People love to tell you how to mod your car until you ask if they want to take over the payments too... I mod mine for reliability and comfort.
From what I’ve noticed regular driving I’ve seen about a 6-8mpg gain but soon I will be doing a video comparing both a full tank of diesel on stock tune and a full tank on the kerma tune to give an exact number
I wasn’t aware my bad haha most people are here have their egr and dpf delete with their stage 2 Malone tunes didn’t know you can go that route without deleting emissions
You actually read my mind haha I’m gonna be making a video on the power comparisons between stock form and the tune file to get a rough estimate and I hope to get my wagon on the dyno actually to see the differences as well!
Yessir haha and I have another video coming this weekend as well discussing my experience with the tune for the 3 months I’ve had it on the car plus I have some parts coming in as well so should have some more content for this wagon finally haha
Thanks for the video. I have 14 JSW TDI DSG that is ready for some upgrades. Lowered it yesterday with H&R 1.5" and it rides fantastic. Gonna go Kerma tune next week. My power-train is all stock. What other mods do you plan on doing? -Ryan
The tune hasn’t been great so far! I love it. Power delivery is very smooth and it puts you back in your seat def worth it! And I’m glad you mentioned the h&r springs because I plan on lowering mine on the same same springs. I’m personally going to keep mine more conservative but I am doing intake exhaust the suspension and probably wheels that’s it. This is my daily so I don’t wanna go too overboard hahah
@@DArias My daily also. I see they did a 50% off tunes sale on the 4th of July. How often does Kerma have discounts? I am soaking all of this tech in recently. Total VW newb. Labor Day is approaching.....
Yes they do deals sometimes I know that. I got my tune as a discounted price myself tbh. I feel best thing to do might be to even contact them directly through email or even over the phone. Their customer service is great actually and very helpful so they might hook you up with a discount as well if you try. For the money regardless I feel it’s worth it
Is your moonroof screen damaged? seems like it all rolled up in the back in this video. wasn't sure if this is common on these cars. I am looking at getting one.
Yes sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t lol the screen not working isn’t a common problem at all.. but the pano roof does have a history of possible leaking. Mine hasn’t leaked at all thank god. But that’s why sometime so people opt to not get the pano roof . It’s all personal preference haha
DArias_ happened to mine because I accidentally knocked it off the track, it was getting hot as fuck in my car in this southern heat. I ended up paying 50 bucks to tint the roof really dark instead of paying 1k to fix the sun shade. Just some advice.
Thank you! I think so too .. even though it did take a little to get used to it and what not haha I originally wanted a black interior but I’m glad I went with the tan
Just to verify, you were able to do this with the car completely stock? And also how has it been on your clutch since it’s been a bit since you’ve gotten a tune? Have a 13’ golf tdi and I’ve wanted to do tunes but due to emissions I can’t really do much to it and put a malone on...
Yes this tune is on a completely stock car.. and clutch has been fine tbh .. it’s been tuned the last 20k miles and my car currently is approaching 110k miles on the original clutch
In most instances yes but I have personally dealt with dealers who have told me to just flash back to stock to do the warranty work. Depends how mod friendly your dealer is luckily for me I just flash back to stock if anything happens and I’m covered
DArias_ I heard that as soon as you tune the car the computer throws a TD1 code that only dealers can see and will not go away even if you reflash it to stock
I know this is whats keeping me from tuning my car that warranty is so juicy. the def system is pretty good compared to other diesels only needing to fill it every oil change. I had a def line leak it was going to take a few days to get it done so they gave me an optioned out loaner for the week
Hey Diego interested in buying a Kerma for my 03 tdi alh, but I’m looking to have a more smoky tune just for fun. My car is completely deleted would they be willing to tune mine or is that a no go with all the emissions things going on lately (heads up I’m out of Oklahoma so we don’t have to get our vehicle checked or anything around here)
Unfortunately Kerma doesn’t offer tunes on deletes if that’s what you mean by straight pipe. You would have to go with a company like Malone who does great work as well!
Love my tractor i mean tdi ..lol you would think thease would sell too farmers..i towed a trailer and fully packed car with ALMOST 5klbs w car and passed many cars had no issue going up rolling mountains NEVER had too downshift ..a gasser woulda puked ..got a average of 34 mpg.ran a tank after WITHOUT trailer wasnt much more if any cant explain basically car gets city mpg toiwing a trailer on the highway ..not many vehicles get 35mpg let alone w almost 2k in trailer..almost seems too pull harder w the weight of the trailer not sure if it spools the turbo harder under load almost seemed too over compensate well more than u would think normal driving the load on the turbo goes away fast
When you say that you wish these cars came like that from factory just know that they did come like that from factory but the emissions scandal took all of that away. I recommend driving an older a3 and see what that 2.0 feels like.
You’re absolutely right .. I’ve driven an mk6 tdi when they first came out and it felt much better than they do now I guess I meant like if you buy one now this is what you get
Trust me I know everyone says how much better these cars used to be and I can imagine haha do you know anything of rumors of a possible second wave of buybacks due to all these issues ?
@@DArias not sure but I can tell you that vw was billed 3k for the dpf the first time and when I am able to leave today with my car it will be about 1900 on the warranty.
Sheesh that’s a lot lol yeah at the risk of warranty claim and what not I will probably just delete and retune and not worry again... I fee vw is tired of all these tdis just sitting and waiting but at the same time if their was no fix then none of this would be happening lol
@@DArias bro they are def sick of it because there is no money to be made anymore. My alh mk4 has 450k and drives like brand new. This one I haven't deleted because my stealership had it waiting on the backorder dpf. It sucks because I work there and I used to just look at it. That was a 3k+ job and today we just finished up the nox and I had to fight vw to replace the fans because the car wouldn't Regen but I wasn't paying for those fans and obviously the bill was outrageous at 2700 for the work we did
To be realistic and honest the low end torque on this is better than a gti but top end and such the gti will take this easily imo...the tdi has a terrible top end and a gti top end isn’t great either but def superior than the tdi
No sir! I’ve had no personal issues the system regens normally with no issues the dpf has worked like normal and these mk6 this actually don’t require DEF if I’m not mistaken only the passats use def the gold and jettas started using DEF for 2015 which was their last year which is the mk7
@@DArias yeah lots of turbo lag. That is where these tubes work. Btw sorry for hijacking your comments section but you're video are some of the cleanest in terms of these cars.
Jeff Stevenson/dna is better than both. Here is the thing kerma is ok without deleting until your dpf does and they do go. Vw had my two for 6 months waiting on backorder dpf for my jsw. The day that I finally got it back dpf light was on the same day I got it back. I get the car back this time tom with new cat, nox sensor, and fans and have had it since Monday. The majority of kerma people are going to end up with malone or Stevenson when those emission components go and they see the price of dpf or nox cat. If you are delete when you tune you will have when you need to sell . The biggest mistake I've made is getting my 13 jsw fix car. My pre fix mk6 was so much better. Neither touch my alh but that isnt new news n
Yeah that’s the bad part is how long the car stays at the dealer for I here Jeff Stevenson is really good with tunes I’m on the Facebook pages and stuff and I see nothing but good things
Depends on your dealer in my experiences in my area the dealer just tells me to flash back to stock if I need any warranty work done that it isn’t a big deal..it only becomes an issue once removing emissions components ..I would say as long as you flash it back to stock and drive a little after that you’ll be fine
Bro iWork for vw and I can assure you that is has nothing to do with a dealership or tech in terms of your warranty. When we scan the car for just say dpf/nox cat/turbo etc skoda matches up the timer on your computer with the clicks counter and you can 100 percent have your car td1 tagged in skoda which voids your warranty and there is nothing that the dealership will do to help you because dealerships fix cars for vw corporation. Unless the dealership decides that they are goibg to pay for your car which isn't happening. So anyone who says that your warranty will be ok if you just switch it back to stock is lying or doesnt know or trying to sell you a product. It really depends on skoda and not the dealership on if your car warranty is void considering that pay the dealership to fix cars. Dealership also sell cars. They don't own them. With that said if it's a big money job like dpf (3k and months wait for backorder), cat, turbo, motor, etc I strongly recommend that you call vw Corp and get a case mgr to help you. Otherwise you might be in for a fight. Lastly if your car goes into dealership for warranty work I strongly recommend that you try to go back as close to stock as possible because something as Petty as cold air intake is enough to get your car warranty voided but most people haven't actually read the settlement or realize that any job that requires longer than two hours they have to give you a car. The issue is dealership are sick of tdi and prob will tell you that they don't have one available but "forger" to tell you that vw Corp pays enterprise rental cars in that case. Again case mgr
I’ve gone back and forth tbh. Like I really want to do it but at the same time as much as I love this car it just bores me to drive and I’ve been debating upgraded to a GSW 4motion
Tbh I’m really not sure BUT the difference is night and day easily can tell how much harder the car pulls I hope to soon be able to get to a dyno and do pulls with the stock map and the tuned map and see the exact difference in power
Diego Arias thanks man! Fastest reply I’ve had for our car model. Just bought the kerma, hopefully it’s good. You convinced me. I’m in the same situation with you about the warranty n everything
They also make a tuner for the transmission, which from my research is a HUGE upgrade. My one complaint about my TDI Jetta with DSG is the lack of response from the tranny. They're tranny tune is suppose to do wonders for driveability. Both the engine and tranny Kerma tuners will be in Black Betty soon.
Most likely will unless you know a tech at a vw dealer or depends on the dealer you go to. Personally I’ve had warranty work done with the tune without an issue. But it varies depends on what needs to be done and the dealer you go to and who you know
Bullshit....I'm NOT knocking malone at all. In fact I like malone. I personally drove both back to back and kerma Is a tad more aggressive. Look at the numbers. Kerma gives higher torque numbers. KERMA has been awesome for me and customer service is incredible.... my experience is with a mk7 golf
I’m super happy with my tune I like kerma so far personally haha and $500 is cheap idk how he said it’s me overpaying when Malone is $550 for their tune if I’m not mistaken but everyone has their opinions haha and I’ve seen some dyno videos too where kerma makes more power all in all I’m on your boat I love kerma haha
Enjoying the videos!
2014 TDI Sportwagen here, manual as well!

the cars stock move good on the highway you just have to not be afraid to downshift down to 4th which is good from 60 till 90 under power
You’re right about that haha I guess my laziness sometimes just wants to mash it in a higher gear and just get by someone haha

It doesn’t. Kerma only tunes for full emissions. You’d have to go Malone or mr tuning for deletes if you choose that route
after tuning it how much WHP did you get it

Bullshit....I'm NOT knocking malone at all. In fact I like malone. I personally drove both back to back and kerma Is a tad more aggressive. Look at the numbers. Kerma gives higher torque numbers. KERMA has been awesome for me and customer service is incredible.... my experience is with a mk7 golf
I’m super happy with my tune I like kerma so far personally haha and $500 is cheap idk how he said it’s me overpaying when Malone is $550 for their tune if I’m not mistaken but everyone has their opinions haha and I’ve seen some dyno videos too where kerma makes more power all in all I’m on your boat I love kerma haha
True but Stevenson/diesel dna is better than most and stevenson custom maps
