2006 Audi A4 2.0 TDI 140bhp S Line Avant (BRE)

Hi all,

Im relatively new to this forum but was looking a bit of tuning advice to the said vehicle.

1. Has anybody with the same car had theirs remapped?
2. Will a remap to approx. 175bhp make much of a noticeable driving difference?
3. Will this take out the dreaded flat spot in 1st gear?
4. Where is recommended to go for this in the Belfast region?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

JimC64 (VW AUDI Forum - VWAF) has had his 140 BRE remapped to around 170-80 bhp

Torquetronix in Ballymena or OBD Auto Tune in Ballymena have had good news about them

Cheers Chris ... Is he happy with it do ya know?

Yep - I've seen him praise many of times how much more responsive it is after the remap and hasn't caused him any bother.

I think he paid about ~£300 for the map.

OBD & Torquetronix have came in at roughly the same price, £240 with dyno, £200 without. That was for a standard (stage 1) remap, 175bhp approx. I was just curious how it felt driving.
p.s. Nice A6 ya have!

Just to add to that, Jim did specifically mention to me that the remap improved the first gear take off which he classed as "down right dangerous" before the remap. He'll be along before long no doubt to give you his impressions first hand I'm sure. Seems to me the remap is going to give you exactly the results you're after.

Brycie, thankyou for that, the 1st gear take off IS RIDICULOUS! I have been caught out on numerous occasions ... having to clutch it for the turbo to come in early just to get out of a junction quickly. I thought it was only my car, now i know its not!

No problem, for once my memory didn't fail me. Just lucky he happened to mention it to me. You do have to be very careful at take off, I agree, I just thought it was a diesel thing. I can usually deal with it now that I'mbused to the feel of the power/clutch/biting point etc, but there are moments when I've got it wrong & had a stuttery take off.

Let us know what you decide on & your findings afterwards.
