BiTDI booked in for a remap with MCR

[dean warren]

So what difference have you noticed performance wise?

It’s much quicker!

Puts you back in your seat when accelerating and the over taking prowess is now even more remarkable for a diesel

I have the Revo remap. No rolling road to verify before and after. It had a noticeable difference, but I wouldn’t say back of seat difference. Maybe I should have gone MRC. Chose Revo because I had their stage 1, taking 170 to 290 on a Q5 tsi, and the difference for that vehicle was incredible - though still not equal to the bitdi before the Revo remap, but close for everyday driving.

How would you describe yours compared to the RS6, aside from the diesel delay?

No comparison really. The RS6 WAS “push you to the back of your seat” fast from launch

The BiTDI does feel extremely quick for a diesel but not super car quick like the RS

What impresses me is the acceleration when on the move, it’s just effortless and I expect I’m going much quicker than I realise. A great car for overtaking and just better in every way with the MRC remap

If I was inclined it would be interesting to see how easily some performance cars would pull away from me now.

Not sure if the Aston Martin Vantage that was flashing me an inch from my bumper on the motorway was toying with me but when I let him past he put his foot down but I managed to keep up with him quite easily. Probably didn’t really push it but I was still impressed he wasn’t a speck in the distance

It’s hard to be exact about the difference, I don’t measure very scientifically. However a typical 12 mile jaunt with the family post the Revo remap was achieving over 40mpg, typically 42mpg. Since the recall it’s typically below, often 38mpg. A typical journey will include a mix of B roads and single A roads. I am not light footed, but neither do I throw the family about, and why I still enjoy the bitdi’s discretion.

I’ve since read they also remap the gearbox. Very hard to comment on the difference, because yes it’s better but I am comparing to before with the remap. Now when I have the remap, with the recall mapped gear box I have no idea how it’ll behave.

I’ve also found this. The additional warranty granted to recalled V6 3.0l in Canada. The original owners also got a decent payout, like in the US. I’ve yet to see any details of that for UK 3.0 owners.

The emissions recall ruined my car, dropping mpg down to low 30's. When it was remapped a week after the audi interference, the power was 270bhp compared to the posted 320bhp. I fully understand how cars will vary from each other BUT it was a noticeably different drive from when I picked it up from Audi. The gearbox mapping was different, it was just not right.
While the gearbox mapping has not been changed, the car has been remapped to stage 1 and is EVERYTHING the car should be. I sit just shy of 400bhp, it returns just under 40 mpg most of the time. The car will do over 40 mpg now whereas after Audi touched it, 33 mpg was a challenge.
Whatever the emissions update is, it should be avoided.

Wow some massive drops. My cars a 63 plate, MY14 so it’s just before the adblue versions and with the posted 313ps. Everything I’ve read talks about the adblue versions, which makes me even wonder if they should’ve carried out the recall on my car.

Never had it dyno’d, so I don’t know how it’s changed.

I’d be tempted to try a different map, to attain closer to 400hp, vs Revos claimed ~360hp... however as I previously paid for the Revo, I understand if the dealer flashes the ECU they will put the map back on.
