Chip tuning for Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp ECU
Audi A5 (2011 - 8F) 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp — premium diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Volkswagen Group (VAG) group (Германия, 1909). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 136 to 185 hp (+49 hp, +36%) and torque from 320 to 410 Nm (+90 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch EDC17C46, Bosch EDC17C54, Bosch EDC17CP14, Bosch EDC17CP20. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. TCU units on this engine: Temic DQ250E, Temic DQ250F — each is calibrated with a separate file (torque limiter, shift maps for Stage 1). In the CHIPOK database: 12 configurations · 6 ECU variants. The 2011 generation — mid-generation diesels on the EDC17 platform with OBD reading support and no need for Bench.
Audi is part of the Volkswagen Group (VAG), Europe's largest automotive group. Audi Sport is Audi's performance division, building the RS models. Audi shares platforms with Volkswagen, Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini within VAG. The Audi diesel range is fully unified with Volkswagen, Skoda and Seat within VAG. Mid-generation diesel models allow standard OBD read/write within the MQB platform. The MQB platform lets a single calibration cover Audi/VW/Skoda/Seat.
On pre-2017 Audi models, Stage 1 is flashed via OBD without bench. On mid-range Audi diesels, Stage 1 delivers a noticeable torque gain. The Audi community is renowned for its active tuning scene and a huge library of available 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. 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 S tronic TCU requires calibration at Stage 1+, as the torque limiter usually sits below the engine's potential. Tiptronic is Audi's classic automatic for longitudinally mounted engines. S tronic is Audi's signature dual-clutch gearbox (the DSG in the Audi range).
Frequently asked questions
How much does the power of the Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp increase after Stage 1?

What is Stage 1 chip tuning for the Audi A5?
Stage 1 on the Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp is a software ECU calibration with no hardware changes. The key maps (boost/ignition/lambda/torque) are adjusted while factory tolerances are preserved. The gain is +49 hp with no hardware changes.
Is a Stage 1 remap safe for the 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp?
Stage 1 on the Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp is developed while keeping the factory AFR, knock control and temperature limits. Engine life is preserved provided regular maintenance is carried out.
How does Stage 2 differ from Stage 1 on the Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp?
Stage 2 on the Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp means software + hardware (exhaust, intake, intercooler). The gain depends on the specific hardware combination.
How many ECU variants does the Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp have?
The Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp has 4 ECU variants: Bosch EDC17C46, Bosch EDC17C54, Bosch EDC17CP14, Bosch EDC17CP20. Before flashing you need to read the specific unit — calibration is done for the exact hardware/software.
Which TCUs are found on the Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp?
The Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp was fitted with different automatic-transmission units: Temic DQ250E, Temic DQ250F. All are supported via Bench reading; the Stage 1 calibration is done for the specific TCU after the revision is identified.
Does Stage 1 void the warranty on the Audi A5?
Stage 1 on the Audi A5 voids the factory warranty on the engine and transmission — this is standard for all manufacturers. CHIPOK provides its own warranty on the quality of the remap.
How quickly is chip tuning of the Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp done?
The full remap cycle for the Audi A5 — from reading to writing the final file — takes 30-90 minutes depending on the ECU access method. The file is prepared at CHIPOK in 5-30 minutes.
Can you return to stock after Stage 1 on the Audi A5?
The original Audi A5 ECU is always saved before flashing. Rolling back to the factory firmware is done with the same programmer in 25-30 minutes.
How much does Stage 1 cost for the Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp?
The cost of Stage 1 for the Audi A5 2.0 TDI CR 136 hp is calculated in the calculator on this page — you select the options (DPF off, EGR off, AdBlue off, DTC off, etc.) and the price is capped by the package Max Price. Payment is by credits (1 cr = 1 €), with no subscriptions.
