Im about to change my trusty 2.7 tdi A6 for a late 2011 3.0 tdi A7 and want to find out more about what Im getting and what performance options are available.

When I first got the A6 I realised it's 2.7 V6must have some potential being a slightly underbored and detuned version of the 3.0 detuned to 177bhp. Indeed a mild remap woke it up and it no longer drove like a 2 litre 4 pot.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the 214bhp 3.0 in the A7 Im getting and the more potent 245bhp, 268/272 bhp versions ? Does this engine respond as well as the 2.7 to a remap ?
