So glad you finally got the DSG tune man, well worth the money. Gotta have that extra clamping pressure to hold all that torque. I did ecu and tcu at the same time on my A3. Very Happy with the results! :)
I hope a TCU tune will do the same for my A4 B9.. I hate the way it shifts. Way too soon under normal/spiritied driving conditions. It also doesn't downshift when it should. You have to slam the throttle and it will jump down 2 gears .
Dude you should be checking out Racinglines TCU tune for DSG. Probably best on the market, as its former Volkswagen Motorsport. And works with both Stage 1,2 & 3 and for ANY ECU tuning brand! Just Saying. Volkswagen AG themselves used to own this company! 👍

Just got my car tuned and got the DSG tuned too. My s3 mad 340whp and 320 torq. Did you have any issues getting your evap to ready up for inspection? mine are still not ready after 270 miles. :(
Hey Kamil Pawlak I have a big problem and u are my last hope. I ordert from FOX exhaust systems a End silencer and the two pipes does not fit but on the website of fox exhaust it means it is the right Silencer for my car. So i payd in a Audi garage 435. swiss franks for nothing (that means 500 dollars~) now i have to ask you what can i do? I already straightet my middle silencer what for a end silencer exhaust should i else buy or should i try to bring this fox exhaust on with some adapter/joint ps. I drive a Audi A3 1.8 TFSI 2013 Sedan S-line Ty for ur Help
Hey Kamil. Bought a 15 A3 Premium a few months ago and as of today it has 24k miles. It has 7 or 8 months left on the Factory warranty, and before knowing what you can do to these cars, I purchased the powertrain warranty from my dealership which ended up being around $3k, discount being because I work there. I'm definitely one for speed and modifying things, but I'm on the fence about tuning and voiding the warranty. Is it worth it? Do these cars usually have issues where the warranty is needed? The car fax shows the car has never had issues before. Our used car check at the dealership only showed it needed fluids.
Hey Kamil! I have been looking for weeks for a affordable exhaust system for my 2015 a3 premium. My goal is to fit the car with quad exaust such as you did. But I'm stuck on knowing if the new exhaust system that I buy will fit correctly underneath? I am already buying a rear diffusor made for the premium with slots for the quad exhaust tips, but I'm not sure if the system will fit correctly. Thank you!
Who cares. Powa baby, powa! I still get 19mpg and drive like I'm qualifying everytime I get in her. It's a few dollars difference. If that bothers you, you should have bought a Pious.
Brendon Kelly I hear you but this is actually a step down for me when it comes to power, took that step cause I needed something with better fuel economy, torque and awd.
I have better mpg after TVS DSG tune and far better take off, faster paddles response and smoother shifts etc. It feels like you drive same car with different engine
The main thing for manufacturers now is to prove to the government that they get high average MPG and low emissions, so they de-tune their cars. That's why the stock transmission tune takes you to the highest gear possible as fast as possible, so your RPM is around idle. Unfortunately, that means you have to shell out $500+ for a proper aftermarket tune.
Really if possible you should get both at the same time. For example with most of the newer RS series its quite dangerous for clutch wear not to update the TCU/DSG tune when flashing the ECU. The higher horsepower can cause unintentional clutch slipping and be quite costly.
With my Ultrachraged S5 with a DSG tune.... the difference is amazing. When it was just a dual pulley tune it really disappointed me with not much difference at all. It finally showed itself with the Ultracharger. More so now with my e40 tune.
I'm in the market for a new car and ive been watching a lot of your videos lately, loving the a3. Seeing the setup on your car solidified my want for one. P.s. I live like right by you
b8 a4! ive had mine for 3 months and its been an amazing car, only replacement was a valve cover gasket which cost $38 and is fairly easy to install if u have rhe right tool to hold down the cdnc camshafts or if you get a b7 its even easier
ok so I have a b9 a4 and I'm really considering tuning it with APR. Have you ever had it flashed back to stock to go back to the dealership? Or at this point do you even care about TD1?
I have one and also have a warranty. You should be fine, they arent gonna notice unless something goes wrong that might invole the tech looking into the ecu, if something like idk your turbo blows, some shops might replace it and not know, or they see the td1, but know they set your car to its stock file, but technically audi can still notice. If you really cant afford to pay out of pocket for something then idk, but if you get it you should be ok, most people are, but know youre taking a risk and will wear out things a little faster than normal, i set money aside in case of my warranty getting denied
Also there isn't an apr tcu tune for the b9's available yet. They do not even have stage 2 ecu tune so you cannot do high flow cat and down pipe without failing emissions. Only stage one ecu is available right now with apr
I ordered the rings in silver and red but returned them because they look really cheap in-person lol. The interior definitely looks better without these rings.
Hey bro, I also own a 2015 Audi A3, it doesn't come with a backup camera. I was wondering where did you get your backup-camera installed? or it comes with the car?
I'm considering a dsg tune on my stage 1 golf r but can't really justify $500 bucks just to see what gear I'm in... even when launching at 4k, my stock dsg clutch has never slipped. i don't really understand how much better it could really be. my transmission holds the gears just fine if I'm accelerating a harder than normal. maybe im crazy? trying to find someone with an s3 or golf r who has the dsg tune so i can ride along with them
cmanclan101 I have the Unitronic DSG tune in my S3 and the difference is very noticeable and worth every penny especially with the ECU tune. Do it, you won’t regret it!
What he said. I thought I didnt need it either. But once I took a ride in someone elses car with the dsg tune I knew I needed it. The car just feels way more smoother.
He has a A3 2.0t with s3 kit all round, ttrs brakes, carbon splitters and side skirts, a full catback and downpipe with a res delete, a 3.5" intake, a strut bar(removed because it was hitting intake), dsg tune, boost guage, a full air ride system, a set of light weight wheels, apr stage 2 remap, s3 sloted rotors
Hey Kamil this is derek the guy from audi. Great video like always, but I wanted to know what specs you have for your wheels( I forgot) and intake you run for your car?
So glad you finally got the DSG tune man, well worth the money. Gotta have that extra clamping pressure to hold all that torque. I did ecu and tcu at the same time on my A3. Very Happy with the results! :)
your car sounds awesome man what all have u done to it?

in drive, it makes the car the most fuel economical, if you want it to hold higher gears, drive in sport mode
I am having the exact same problem with the stock DSG tune on my MK7 GTI. And from all the readings, looks like APR DSG tune tops out everything else

Now that you’ve had some experience with this tune and other tunes. Would you agree that the dsg tune should be one of the first purchases for an a3?

1. Did it remedy the hesitation during LC?
2. Did you change your AWD setting via OBDeleven yet
3. What color did you choose for your sway bar?
LC has improved. Not completely but launching at a higher rpm helps alot. Obeleven have not change the settings yet. Sway bar is still white!
Does the tune make the transmission shifts quicker? Not rpm but when it shifts
What do you mean? The shifts are already too fast for a human to notice.
Howzit bro can you maybe upload a video launching after the ECU and DSG tune please would like to hear how it sounds
Your Audi makes my run in hide lol, love the look and everything. I’ve purchased my first audi I’m so happy Ive got an 08 A4 2.0t any recommendations.
Stage 1 tune. It transforms it completely.
Other than that, save your money for repairs like control arms, timing belt, etc.Trust me, I had a 2007, and it only had 90k when I sold it.
Regular maintenance is a must, check coolant frequently as mine always had coolant issues along with fueling after going apr stage 2+
the what gear your in for D and S not being in tip can be enabled through VCDS or obd11 swell.
Oh shit i didnt know that! That might be fairly new!

Yes

Does this tune get rid of the auto upshifting in manual mode?
But doesn't holding it down at 5th on 40 use more fuel than 6th on 40, will also give you more drone and keep your exhaust louder
Higher gear puts more load on the motor which is no bueno, downshifting is going to mitigate that.
@@asoggyburger479 it puts load on the motor if you floor it at 1k rpm, if you are cruising it isnt bad

Old post but personally I wouldn't do it especially if you have bought a warranty

Also how does the tune affect your fuel economy - I’m all for a more mods on my a3 but I use it for work and mpg matters a whole lot more than mods
Who cares. Powa baby, powa! I still get 19mpg and drive like I'm qualifying everytime I get in her. It's a few dollars difference. If that bothers you, you should have bought a Pious.
Brendon Kelly I hear you but this is actually a step down for me when it comes to power, took that step cause I needed something with better fuel economy, torque and awd.
You get about 2 to 3 extra mpg with tune from what ive noticed
Got APR Stage 1 on my S7. Struggled to get 32mpg before. Hit 36mpg on a long trip after
I have better mpg after TVS DSG tune and far better take off, faster paddles response and smoother shifts etc.
It feels like you drive same car with different engine
What mpg's are you getting? Notice any difference with the tune?
Yes slightly. Especially around town since the car isnt bogging itself down in low rpms. It way smoother of a acceleration.
Yea differently the tune makes a big difference. They should all just come that way from the factory.
The main thing for manufacturers now is to prove to the government that they get high average MPG and low emissions, so they de-tune their cars. That's why the stock transmission tune takes you to the highest gear possible as fast as possible, so your RPM is around idle. Unfortunately, that means you have to shell out $500+ for a proper aftermarket tune.
Meh, I did it for the clamping pressure for the ecu tune but didn't seem like much difference in operation to me.
Dsg tune vs ecu? Which should I get first?
Always the ECU tune first..
Really if possible you should get both at the same time. For example with most of the newer RS series its quite dangerous for clutch wear not to update the TCU/DSG tune when flashing the ECU. The higher horsepower can cause unintentional clutch slipping and be quite costly.
How do you make you speedometer do that when you turn on? Or did it come stock?
vcds or OBdeleven

I love the tune!
45 hundred thousand RPM's lmao
The stock launch point is at 3k. 4k is a big jump. The IE tune lets you pick between 3400, 3600, 3800, and 4k.
Lmao not too crazy, just set the launch at 4500. I died lol

You flash the ECU it ticks the counter. Flashing back, will do nothing. You need to make friends at the dealer

Hows the quality and fitment on that carbon fiber interior trim? Where'd you order it from?

Can the dsg Tune damage the transmission?
from my knowledge it helps the trans not ride the clutches as much. just grabs it. just keep up with your maintenance and youll be fine
