    SQ5 is a completely different engine, its the BiTurbo version that you can get in the A6. Shame its not an option on the Q7.

    So, a little info, that I've decided to take the plunge and get a serial engine management unit fitted to my new Q7 by ABT (prounouced "AB-Ter"): Chip tuning, aerodynamics, rims. ABT Sportsline is the world‘s leading Audi and VW tuner

    Ive been doing a lot of research and ABT (based in Germany) are renowned for high quality products for the VW Group cars and engine management is no exception

    My Q7 (4M) is the 3.0TDI 272PS and although if you search around online there are companies offering upgrades for sub £300 I have opted for a proper system that sits "in-line" with the current ECU as opposed to actually updating the core Q7 ECU itself.

    This means a few things:

    1. The original ECU remains untouched
    2. Audi Diags carry on as normal
    3. Audi Warranty is intact (checked already)
    4. ABT offering a warranty and insurance on any damage if something occurred upto a large monetary value
    5. The system can be removed at any time to return the car to 100% stock.
    6. My insurance company have quoted a yearly premium increase of £35.

    Main changes:


    • BHP from 272 to 325
    • Torque from 600Nm to 680Nm
    • Top Speed from 234Kmh to 240Kmh (not that I care)
    • 0-60 from 6.3s to 6.1s
    • CO2 Emission per BHP from 0.55g(km *bhp) to 0.46g(km *bhp)


    I'm getting the work done by Richter Motorsport based in Milton Keynes. They are the sole reseller for ABT in the UK. ABT did say I could come to them in Germany and have it done at their HQ but its an 11 hour road trip and I couldn't convince a certain someone!

    The below attachment (PDF) is the output changes from Stock to the new ECU update.

    Attachment 30526

    And here is the option at the ABT online configurator: http://www.abt-configurator.com/en/A.../4M00/30TDI272

    My car will go in for one day (while I hang around) and the ECU info will be downloaded from my car and sent to ABT in Germany. They will then send back the configuration based not only on the stock Q7 4M ECU for my engine model but also a specific software configuration for my actual car/VIN.

    Any future software updates from Audi will not affect this.

    I won't lie, a little nervous but also excited to see what happens. Some increased PS, Torque and potentially some economy improvements.

    Time will tell. I'm aiming to get this done next week so will keep you posted

    Cheers

    Andy
    Brave man! We always love a selfless Guinea Pig! ABT are great though, so it should all work out well: famous last words!

    I'm not sure there is much difference with the smaller engine over the 272 one. I'm not car mechanic, but for an approx 60 BHP difference there can't be much physical difference?

    MTM is another good company. They also offer an ECU upgrade for the 272PS Q7 4M. Even the figures about the increases etc look near on identical to the ABT one which is interesting. Its not clear if its an 'in-line' additional ECU or a software update, but I'm guessing the former.

    As I say, I'm not actually concerned about the warranty issues. Audi are cool with it, ABT provide (via a 3rd Party specialist insurer) the additional "cover" for anything that may arise from the upgrade. Granted yes, if it came to that people could pass the blame and so forth but its a risk I'm prepared to take (at this stage at least).

    Insurance (I'm with Admiral) said any engine upgrade that increases power between 11% and 25% over stock results in a premium hike of £35 for the whole year and thats for two of us, so it was much less than I thought they would say. Mind you, the Matte Wrap on my car only put the insurance up £20 for the year.

    The kit has all arrived and I managed to extract my car config and send it over today in advance as I have all the tools already (laptop + cable) so they can pre-program the unit before I arrive. Then its just a matter of fitting it.

    Lets see... stepping into the unknown...

    I'd prefer not to say exact price but its over £1200 but less than £2000 so you get a rough idea.

    what about the old tdi tuning.co.uk route? did mine in 5 mins, happy with the extra pull it gives me. id compare it on a par with a "proper remap" i had done on my TT.

    plus you can take it off and get it updated to run on your next car

    Got to be honest, never even heard of that website before. Its down for maintenance at the moment, but appreciate the info

    The ABT one can be completely removed also, so I'm cool from that aspect. Just trying to get a slot booked in for next week!
