Chip tuning for Audi A6 3.0 TDI 245 hp ECU
Audi A6 (2011 - C7) 3.0 TDI 245 hp — premium diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Volkswagen Group (VAG) group (Германия, 1909). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 245 to 300 hp (+55 hp, +22%) and torque from 500 to 620 Nm (+120 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch EDC17CP04, Bosch EDC17CP44, Bosch MD1CP004. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. TCU units on this engine: ZF AL552, Temic DL501 — each is calibrated with a separate file (torque limiter, shift maps for Stage 1). In the CHIPOK database: 5 configurations · 5 ECU variants. A diesel built in 2011 — the Tricore ECU era; OBD flash works on most production revisions.
Audi Sport is Audi's performance division, building the RS models. Audi shares platforms with Volkswagen, Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini within VAG. Audi's signature slogan is “Vorsprung durch Technik” (Progress through Technology). 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. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on all Euro-6 Audi diesels.
Audi S models sit between the standard cars and the RS range. The premium Audi segment runs a high-output platform with Stage 2 potential. High-output Audi engines sit in the premium segment, with solid headroom for Stage 1. Audi S models are the milder performance step between the standard cars and the RS range.
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). S tronic comes in dry and wet-clutch versions, each with a different torque rating.
