Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and Cupra diagnostics, calibration and specialist engineering from our Hurst workshop. Dealer-level tooling, an enthusiast's eye, and complete transparency from first enquiry through to collection.
VAG Torque was founded by an enthusiast working through increasingly complex Volkswagen Group projects: first personal builds, then close friends, then a workshop. The business grew naturally from technical curiosity and hands-on experience rather than a marketing plan.
We exist because the automotive industry too often lacks communication, transparency and accountability. Our brief is simple: deliver perfection to every customer, treat every vehicle as if it were our own, and build long-term relationships rather than transactions.
A cross-section of the work we are set up to handle at the workshop. Every job is documented from intake to handover with full transparency.
Full calibration and drivetrain refinement capability for the 2.5 TFSI platform. We can deliver sustained power through repeated track use without compromising road manners.
Consistent power delivery across sustained sessions with stable oil temps.
Forged engine build capability for platforms pushing beyond cast internals. Full strip, spec and reassembly handled on the bench.
Reliable, repeatable power on pump fuel with documented torque figures and clean post-build scan.
Calibration refresh and end-to-end health check capability for daily-driven MQB platforms. Proper baseline work owners can build from.
Sharper throttle response, cleaner shifts and a documented baseline to build from.
Forged internals, big-brake upgrades, hybrid turbos and intake work. Done properly on the bench, photographed before they go back on the car.
Six commitments that define the workshop: from the tooling on the bench to the way you'll be spoken to on the phone.
We work exclusively on Volkswagen Group vehicles. Every tool, every procedure, every part decision is informed by years inside these platforms.
Full ODIS, ODIS Engineering and VCDS coverage. We read what the dealer reads, and act on what they often won't.
The workshop grew from personal projects, not a franchise model. We work on your car the way we work on ours.
Photographs, voice notes and written updates throughout. You'll always know what's happening and why.
We deliberately limit how many vehicles we take on. Every car gets the time it actually needs.
From enquiry to collection you deal with one person. No service desk, no phone tag, no shifting story.
"The workshop exists to look after each customer's vehicle to the standard I would expect for my own. That principle defines every job we take on."
Every consultation is handled by me personally. While your vehicle is with us, I am either carrying out the work directly or signing off the work of a technician I trust to the same standard.
Every line on your invoice is something I can explain in detail, and every decision made on the car is documented and shared with you before it happens.

The platforms and certifications we work with daily. Not a marketing list. These are the tools that meaningfully change what can be done to your vehicle.
Factory dealer diagnostic platform: coding, adaptations, control unit programming.
Engineering-tier access for deeper parameter work beyond standard dealer scope.
Ross-Tech VCDS for granular fault tracing, long coding and adaptation refinement.
Authorised dealer for Wössner forged engine internals. Supply, spec and fitment.
Full read/write access on Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and Cupra. Current and legacy platforms.
Years of hands-on work across MQB, MLB, PQ, Transverse and Longitudinal platforms.
We don't dilute attention across every manufacturer. Working only on VAG platforms means deeper pattern recognition, faster diagnosis and better outcomes.
Every consultation starts with a conversation: your vehicle, your history with it, and what you want from the work. From there we build a transparent plan, document every step, and treat the car the way we'd treat our own.
