Remapping Advice - Audi A6 Avant Quattro 3.0 TFSI CREC

[DriverLDN]

Hi All,

I've recently sold my Mercdes C63 Estate and joined the Audi camp and looking for some advice in terms of remapping my car. It's a 2015 C7.5 Audi A6 Avant Quattro with the 3.0 TFSI CREC engine which I believe is what comes in a few Audis such as the S4 and S5. I've read that the engine is pretty tuneable and I've looked at a few companies from Superchips, APR, MRC, Revo etc. My car is the main family car and its a daily driver, so while unlocking a little bit of power is what I'm after, I'd still like the car to be reliable long term.

Does anyone have any expericence with this engine and what the best options are?

TIA.

I had that engine in a 2014 S5 convertible, and now have the 2017 S5 convertible with the later 3.0 V6 turbo, as opposed to the previous supercharged. After much research I had my 2014 car remapped with APR software and it transformed it. It was rolling roaded before and after, and went from 329bhp to 450bhp with a stage 1 remap. I also had the gearbox remapped which again made a huge difference. I had to run the car on Shell V Power, but I always use that anyway in all my cars.

If you're anywhere near the Midlands talk to Will at VRS Northampton.

Thanks for the info on this. APR is a brand I have looked at as Volks Auto in Sutton which is close to me provide their maps. How was the gearbox tune for day to day slow / town driving? Currently the car is very smooth at slow speeds, so I want to avoid any jerky shifts if possible.

I don't have the car any more, but the gearbox changes were still smooth. It just sharpened up the changes, particularly in sport mode, but the car was still perfectly driveable and smooth if you wanted it to be.
