    Hey Andy I was trying to PM you on this topic (ABT power, not the fab lights) but it says your PM inbox is full and not accepting messages (hence thought I'd post). Did you know?

    Well... I got this done today, about 3.5hrs in the fitter, Richter Sport who were fantastic outfit. No error codes, issues etc. Nothing apparent at all on the screen. Interesting things I didn’t know:
    - On the V6 the new ECU goes low down mounted on its own bracket in front of the stock one. I was expecting it to go on top (apparently on the V8 it does).
    - They did a great job of all the wiring, which is quite a bit. As well as the hooks into the stock ECU box there are also five sensors that mount onto various points around the engine, for boost, fuel, cooling temp and two others (looked like they went around the diesel injectors somewhere).
    - Apparently ABT do make a bypass harness (for a temporary disablement) for the power modules for not for the Q7 one

    Only driven it for about an hour on A roads so far and I would say the effect is definitely there, mainly extra torque in the 30-70mph range, made overtaking noticeably quicker, from 1500rpm up. Didn’t seem to change any other operating aspect of the car. Will have to see how this pans out later on the year on the autobahn... No early to tell any MPG impact as yet clearly.

    Also they had a selection of nice Audi’s they’ve pimped up with ABT kit and tunes. This ABT RS4+ in particular was lovely. They also had an RS6-R 200mph car.

    Just got home from 500+ mile round trip to Lakes... Definitely notice the difference accelerating up hills, on motorway, overtaking etc. The mapping feels a bit more fluid / instant responsive at low revs (like 1500rpm) under normal driving, in all modes.

    Interesting comparison on fuel economy - ABT claim it has no impact. Certainly appears so, the exact same trip and route last year I got 33.24mpg and just now I got 33.43mpg (both measured from fill up - basically from a full tank fill down to yellow light on c. 60 miles range). Actually surprised it didn’t increase mpg a bit, but all within margin of error for other factors I suppose.

    Great stuff mate, really good to hear. Yes, we tried the ABT Bypass module on mine too but it didnt work, caused a heap load of errors so that aligns with what they said to you

    Indeed, I notice the biggest improvements in that 30-70/80mph range when your cruising at a speed in that range and the foot goes down - especially if you happen to be in Dynamic Mode on the "S" Gear selector.

    Resurrecting bit of old thread here but had interesting recent experience. My general thought on the ABT tune was that over time you sort of don’t notice it anymore. However I just had an engine fault (now fixed) which was a heat plug fail, and whilst easily fixed, it did being on the engine management warning light until I got it sorted. I’m assuming that forced the ABT override to not activate as safety precaution, because there was a noticeable difference in the car’s performance with the warning light on. Felt a lot more sluggish in mid-range driving, less instant torquey oomph in particular. Missed it. Back on now. Was just checking I assume that would have blocked it working do you think Andy? (The yellow check engine management symbol, no MMI messages). My OBD and dealer confirmed heat plug 2 had failed.
