Hi All, Does anyone have the official performance stats for the 2014-2017 A8 D4 4.2tdi model . eg the 0-60 , 30-70 acceleration times claimed, so I can compare against my dyno runs . If you do I would be very grateful ( preferably the L model , but the standard is also helpful

A8L 4.2TDI D4 Emissions 'Upgrade' Issue/remap

Hi, I am / was the proud owner of a 2017 380BHP A8L rocket ship until recently when my car went to Audi for an MOT. In their infinite wisdom Audi decided to implement a remap of the engine in response to the emissions scandal from a couple of years ago. ( Incidentally I did not ask for this work to be done ! ) Within 10 seconds of collecting the car it was obvious to me that something very, very bad had been done to the engine . It sounded and ran fine, but drove like a 1.3 fiesta ( sorry Ford, great car but not an A8) . It was completely not my car. On rejecting the car back to the service centre , having driven a further 5 miles, they admitted carrying out the remap, but said it should be indiscernible to the original . I pointed out that I had noticed the change within 10 seconds, without knowledge the change had been made. I am currently having an argument with Audi, to get this reversed. For whatever reason Audi seem to be struggling with this ? Does anyone know why that would be so difficult ? If any members know of a specialist in or around London who can put the original settings back into the car along with the NoX sensor which Audi also changed, I would be very grateful. Thanks for your help
