Audi Q5 remapping
When a Q5 feels heavy with a full load or a trailer, or an SQ5 doesn't feel as sharp as you'd hoped, a remap is worth a look. We map 2.0 TDI, 3.0 TDI and SQ5 models at home or work for £275 + VAT, with a fault check first.
Reasons to remap a Q5
- The Q5 tows a caravan or trailer and struggles on gradients
- You'd like more pull when overtaking with passengers on board
- An economy map could cut fuel costs on a 2.0 TDI
- An SQ5 has parts fitted and needs a Stage 2 map
What a remap changes on a Q5
A remap adjusts the engine's boost, fuel and timing to give more torque low down. On a heavy SUV like the Q5, that means easier towing, fewer kick-downs and a car that feels less weighed down when full.
Work worth pairing with a Q5 remap
| Extra | When it helps | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Gearbox map | If your Q5 has an automatic or DSG gearbox | £195 + VAT, or £440 + VAT with the engine map |
| Carbon clean | A high-mileage TDI with intake carbon | £125 + VAT |
What we do about it
We read all stored codes and save the original software, then write the new map for £275 + VAT. The codes are rechecked before we hand the Q5 back. If there's a fault, we'll recommend diagnostics first.
Will a remapped Q5 feel different on the school run?
Yes. It's more responsive pulling out of junctions and less inclined to change down on hills.
Can a remap improve my Q5's mpg?
On a TDI, an economy map is set up to use less fuel. Results depend on your mileage.
Should faults be fixed before the Q5 is remapped?
Yes. We'll show you any stored fault and recommend a repair before mapping.
Can a remap cause problems on a Q5?
Not on a healthy Q5 with a well-written map. Existing faults are what we check for first.
