I've found a co called bluefin that offer a remap of this engine around the 290bhp level for a 2010/11 model.
Is this reasonable on this engine or is there more to be had both reliably and at reasonable cost (<£1000)
Do VAG out this engine in anything else other than the a4 avant we looked at?

Bluefin chips are supposed to be pretty good, but I've never used one.
I'm sure someone else will be able to give more info.

As for the 3.0 TDI, it's used throughout the Audi range from A4 up to A7 smile

Sorry I didn't explain that very well. We need a mid sized estate so is it in anything from Skoda/Seat/VW etc. I can't find a skoda one mind.
Thanks

I think the A4 is the smallest model it comes in, in terms of other VAG marques, I'm not sure which models the 3.0 comes in. I think the Superb gets a 2.5 or 2.7, but that's A6 in size I think, so A4 is possibly your best bet.

Couple of years ago I went with a REVO remap on my 3.0TDi A8, never had any problems and still running strong today. Power raised from approx 230bhp to around 280bhp and 400lbft torque. Both midrange and pick-up is so much better and apparently mpg also improved (although, must admit, have never really compared the before & after mpg figures).

We've also running a SC's Bluefin map on the wifes Focus ST, again, loads more punch and well worth doing on any turbo (petrol or diesel) units.

From what I remember, the reason I went with the REVO for the Audi was because it was a slightly smoother map than the SC version and suited my driving style better.

Hi all,

just picked up my B7 A4 3.0 Tdi, it has a Bluefin handset in the boot. How can I tell if the car is running on the Audi map or the Bluefin map?
