Volkswagen LT Power Module

2.5L SDI

Increase from 74 BHP to 84 BHP and from 160 Nm to 220 Nm — without ECU remapping.

STEINBAUER performance module for the Volkswagen LT 2.5L SDI, designed to provide increased power and torque while retaining the original ECU programming and factory engine safeguards.

Key benefits

  • Up to +25% power and torque increase, depending on application.
  • No ECU software overwrite — the STEINBAUER system works alongside the original engine management.
  • Injection duration module developed to add performance without generic one-size-fits-all mapping.
  • Removable solution that can be removed if required.
  • Application-specific development for the individual engine and vehicle or machine application.
  • Efficiency — Additional torque can help maintain progress at lower engine speeds when travelling loaded or climbing gradients, which may support improved fuel efficiency.

Actual fuel consumption depends on vehicle load, operating conditions, terrain and driving or operating style.

STEINBAUER Technology

  • External ECU technology — Works alongside the original engine management system without permanently rewriting the factory ECU software.
  • Load-dependent performance — Additional power and torque are delivered progressively as engine demand increases.
  • Application-specific calibration — Developed specifically for the individual engine and application rather than using a generic universal setting.
Motorhome performance

More usable torque when travelling loaded

Motorhome applications focus on loaded running, gradients and relaxed real-world drivability.

Loaded running Additional torque for fully equipped touring use.
Gradients Stronger pulling performance on hills and long climbs.
Cruising Improved response through normal road speeds.
Removable Hardware can be removed to return the vehicle to standard.
