A7 ECU software update?

[SteveA7sline]

Hello All,

Bought my A7 SLINE (245) a month ago after ditching the company car, and I must say I am pleased now I have got to grips with the width of the thing!!! Anyway, I have a few mods in mind and one of these is a REVO remap, which I booked in for last Friday morning at LVS Lincoln. But after a diagnostic of the car REVO could not remap the car because it needs an Audi software upgrade... I was obviously dissapointed, but also greatfull that REVO flagged this, so I need an update first...

Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum :) sorry this hasn't been responded too. 

Most cars (within the last 10 years) may need software updates to the ecu for the engine or gearbox as improvements are made to a vehicle during it's production cycle. It is classed by Audi as a recall but is nothing to worry about and is completely free to have done. You'll probably not notice any difference in the way it drives though. 

Keep.us posted on how the remap goes :) 

Cheers

Steve
