Hi all, Just a heads up here... As of 15 minutes ago I manged to buy a brand new Carista EVO scanner for an absolute bargain from the Carista website. It is currently 30% off via this link: https://carista.com/products/carista-evo-obd-scanner?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=springo&fbclid=IwYW9zYgQdAG5leHRuA2FlbQEwAGFkaWQAAAZIN_U3tXNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHvWm5zB4tW--whDVytkhRNIW4bqgdXwDlwnNxxntOoPrmKtOZFhB9GnhMUr0_aem_EKBqyidKvPVULFn1kJwWAA&campaign_id=6907244119229&ad_id=6907244119629&utm_id=6907244119229_v2_s02&utm_content=6907244119629&utm_term=6907244119429 but if you use code WELCOME15 you will also get a further 15% off, that's a 45% discount! I am not sure if they have noticed that this additional discount works in conjunction with the offer yet but just so you know it 100% worked for me. rrp is £49.99 so this is in theory £20 off so I thought other like minded individuals might be interested. *Select Carista EVO scanner only, de-select 2 yr additional warranty which will change from £44.99 to £34.99, Add to cart and then on the next page Add WELCOME15 in the discount drop down, it should now show £29.75 👍🏼 You're welcome, Matt.

So, I've looked into this and understand that the SFD1 was introduced in 2020 and SFD2 2024 as a way to try and restrict anyone other than the VAG family dealers working on or adapting their cars.

Cheers Steve. Where did you get that inside information from and sorry but what is an SFD? Odd that the A6 45 is so hard to tune when the 3.0 55 can be done more easily. I thought the EA888 was very tunable but Audi have clearly made the ecu harder to crack to be awkward, shame.

Yes Steve, Celtic are the ones who told me the ecu is locked 🔒 unfortunately 😬

Hi all, Having searched the Internet for tuning options on the A6 C8 45 tfsi I'm not getting much info in return. There is a little on tuning boxes maybe but nothing really on ecu remapping. I'm not keen on a tuning box as id like an individual tune and gearbox map to the car but I've read that the ecu is locked so not many companies if any are offering the service. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on this please? I have a 2021 A6 Avant 45 2.0 tfsi 265 ps and would like to get it close to the Golf R power specs. Cheers Matt.

Hi all, Just dropping in to say hi 👋🏼 and looking forward to engaging with other like minded Audi owners. I'm coming for a VW Transporter to this Audi A6 Avant 45 Black Edition which in comparison is very luxury machine and a breath of fresh air.
