I wouldn't go down the "drive it hard" route. Theoretically that is the best way to bed a performance engine in but you'll need to look after the engine more with increased oil change frequency etc. You also need to think about all the other components on the car that won't respond in the same...

She's certainly not much of a petrol head so didn't offer a lot of insight. The first thing she noticed was that the DSG delay had got better when pulling away and she also describes there being "more of a whooshh" when accelerating(!)... By now, I'm not sure how much real effect the remap has...

Mines a new dsg and I'm only getting averaging about 27.5mpg too. It's remapped but it really hasn't changed much at all since I've had that done.

She wasn't too keen on the whole remapping idea on our new car so I may have accidently "forgot" to keep her fully informed of my activities...:detective2: Cue a phone call to me after her first drive - "have you done something to the car?". Obviously, this could have all ended very badly for...

First time I've noticed they are rolling the s3 out with the regular 6 speed box? :huh: Even recent press reports still mention a new 7-speed s-tronic box? Did any of you guys who ordered the early models expect 7-speed?

Any tuner worth their salt should be adapting thier remaps to cope with s-tronic box and watching the amount of torque going through. I've a stage 2 ECU remap on a 2.0t s-tronic that is giving at least ~250 bhp and 350 nM of torque and it's fine. There are a lot of people with remapped 2.0d...

As far as I'm aware the S3's S-Tronic box is a brand new 7-speed dry-clutch system and the TTS still runs the regular 6-speed wet-clutch. Dry clutches tend to have much lower torque limits due to the extra cooling required and that's why only the low powered A3's currently run the 7-speed...

I currently drive a remapped ~260bhp A3 s-tronic and was lucky enough to drive a manual S3 for a short time before that. I found that the power delivery of the S3 meant that you were looking for that next gear very quickly once the turbo kicked in and that's normally when you want both hands and...

Ouch. That's quite scary as I had problems with tuners trying to remap my MED17 ECU and was worried that someone would fry it at some point :ohmy:. I guess it might not help you much now, but I've just written up a review of my experience: http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=67925

Ok, the forum may not need yet another remap review but I’ve taken the time to write this one because there is precious little out there about the facelift cars fitted with the new MED17 ECUs and the remaps available for them. Hopefully it’s a useful read for some. I took delivery of the new...

I've just had a remap successfully completed on my new 2.0 TFSI. There's not alot of tuners around with experience of these new engines and ECU (even though they may say they do..) so I suggest you speak to the guys at VAGCheck (www.vagcheck.co.uk)to avoid the time wasting I've endured... You'll...

Superchips' Bluefin product would be your ideal choice as it wouldn't involve you travelling anywhere - they post the device to you, you just apply it yourself and have the ability to remove it too. You also have a 7 day trial. Unfortunately, if your car is a brand new facelift model then I...

Took delivery of a 2.0T Quattro S-tronic in November and I'm having trouble sourcing a remap for the car. After searching through the forum I originally opted for a bluefin but supechips have been unsuccessful at developing a remap for the new ECU and so I was wondered if anyone else has had a...
