Audi A4 (2000 - B6) 2.5 TDI 155 hp — premium diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Volkswagen Group (VAG) group (Германия, 1909). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 155 to 185 hp (+30 hp, +19%) and torque from 310 to 365 Nm (+55 Nm). ECU — Bosch EDC15VM+. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. The 2000 generation — first-generation CDI/TDI/HDi diesels with relatively simple ECU protection; OBD reading works directly.
Audi shares platforms with Volkswagen, Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini within VAG. Audi's signature slogan is “Vorsprung durch Technik” (Progress through Technology). Audi is a premium manufacturer from Ingolstadt (Bavaria), founded in 1909 as Audiwerke August Horch & Cie. The MQB platform lets a single calibration cover Audi/VW/Skoda/Seat. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on all Euro-6 Audi diesels. TDI is Audi's signature designation for direct-injection turbo diesels, in production since 1989.
Within the VAG group, ECUs are standardised, so a single file often fits a dozen models across Audi/VW/Skoda/Seat. On Audi, Stage 1 usually fits within the standard turnaround time. The Audi community is renowned for its active tuning scene and a huge library of available Stage files. Mid-range Audi engines form the backbone of the range; Stage 1 preserves engine life. In the mid segment, the Audi community is an open platform with a large library of ready-made Stage files. The factory calibration is conservative, with headroom for Stage 1 and no hardware changes. The MQB platform is the most refined chip tuning segment in Europe.
