Ive heard talk about changing the A6 engine to think its an A4 engine. Ive tried searching for a guide or the code to do it but i havnt had any luck. So if anyone can help by either giving me what number to reprogam it to or a website that has a whole list or a place where to get the list of codes that would be great.

Thanks!

 

Under engine, select recode and change the last digit of the code from a 1 to a 2 or a 2 to a 1 (can't remember) Thats all I remember. Someone will chime in soon I would imagine with more details.

 

what does the engine mod do ?? why would you want it to think it has an a4 engine?? advantages ...disadvantages???

I haven't found any disadvantages yet doing this to my 2.8 but its so far just been a pretty big + and the engine actually feels like it wants to be reved up higher.

 

nice ... i thought this applied to me but i have a 2.7 tt but if it works for uit works i never thought about that and i did have a 99 a4 2.8 a few yrs back!

 

Yeah def. a nice improvement heh even if the mod did work i highly doubt you 2.7 guys would notice anything since the 2.7 is a much better and quicker engine than the 2.8

Oh really now, wish I had gotten a chacne to drive the 2.7 befor.e i had bought mine. How does it feel in comparison? A much more mod friendly car and sort of like going from granny's car (the 2.8) to a normal sport sedan i'd assume

 

i have a few things done to the car but i woul dnever give up that feeling of being put in you seat when u get on the gas

 

Anyone knows what are the possible disadvantages of doing this?

 

Other than losing 10hp, I haven't noticed any. I have noticed a 2 mpg increase, but I could also just be driving differently. I don't know if there is any proof that you gain or lose 10hp fwiw.
