I thought the 140's had and the 170's were bulletproof? Something about dpf? I think revo have cracked the 170 now though

Nope. ECU needs removing.
The only thing a few (Revo and some others) people have managed is to temporarily bypass the encryption by using a harness in the ECU circuitry.

DPF is a lot better on CRs so it can stay in for stage1 remap without issues apparently.

I have ordered a new 2.0 TDI CR 140 Passat. Does anyone know if these can be remapped without taking the ECU out or have they not been cracked yet?

If its a new 2012/2013 then it'll need removing to unlock.

The anti tuning measures came into action towards the end of 2010 which has put an end to most conventional obd flashing.
