Roadmap: How To Crack Into Locked TCUs for Audi and VW + Is It Safe To Run ECU Tune With Stock TCU?

[@buterfly5238]

I have the stage 2 ecu tune with the tcu patch on my 2023 s5 it is definitely worth getting the tune. The tune has not given me any problems yet but hoping that they can crack the tcu soon.👍

Great vid! I had these questions and wanted to know more (as a '23 Golf R owner). I have another question though, is it possible to find out the boot loader version from OBDeleven? I know you can get the software number/version, but I believe it's the boot loader version which will give either a thumbs up or a thumbs down from a tuner? It would be nice to know what I have

Hi i have 2 x TDI 4.2 v8 marine engines in a boat and theres a "service" indicator that pops up occasionally when i go to start , this pops up on my display normally it shows nuetral and you can start but if it shows service it wont start it will spin over but just not starting , my question is seeing its a boat can i remove this service indicator from my ststem alltogether ..... delete it from my ecu ...

Will the B9 turbo throw flames like the supercharged 3.0 did ?

[@buterfly5238]

It already does

Just to clarify using your setup on line, the TCU stage 1 will be free with the ECU tune purchase once the TCU stage 1 tune is ready to be released?

[@034MotorsportUncut]

The Stage 1 TCU is included automatically at no cost when you purchase Stage 1 ECU tuning. Once the later model TCUs are unlocked, you will automatically have access to the Stage 1 TCU tune to unlock full torque capabilities from the Engine and Transmission!

[@Slow4b9]

Are there any clutch and flywheel upgrades we have can for the Zf8s on the B9 S4?

[@034MotorsportUncut]

We have not seen a need for upgrades in this area at this time

[@ricardodavis9972]

Can a blank tcu cause lost communication?

[@Jvilleman400]

I guess I shoulda gotten the manual Mk8 or kept my Mk7 smdh fml instead of a dsg mk8 R

[@amazinganimals7117]

If i get stage 1 ECU without TCU tune will it be low torque numbers

[@034MotorsportUncut]

That is correct for the MK8 GTI/R!

[@therues7071]

Im not sure why car manufacturers dont allow ECU tunning or TCU tuning. If you think about it, it just means they dont have to pay for your engine if it blows up. Not saying it will happen but its just less warranty work they have to pay for. Maybe they do it because they dont want to invest in stronger internals and worry the reliability aspect would eventually make them look bad.

[@mhsucio6830]

Then why offer low torque settings if running it with the tcu stock is “fine”

[@034MotorsportUncut]

The low torque file is for those looking to maximize the life of their factory clutch.

[@mhsucio6830]

@@034MotorsportUncut then by saying that, it’s not safe to run the file without the low torque settings with a stock tcu. When I have been told by your support there is no issue and it is safe. I’ve also notice horrible shifting or lag between 3rd n 4th. 1st gear and 2nd to 3rd will feel normal but from 3rd to 4th it will shift at like under 2k rpm n lag to gain rpm.

[@Lsthnbrd]

I don’t really understand why car manufacturers try so hard to stop people from modifying their cars. As long as they are selling cars, why do they care?

[@JeffreyWilliams-i3m]

It’s a depressing thought to know that it could potentially be years before I can flash my ‘23 RS5 😢

[@034MotorsportUncut]

Perhaps you misunderstood. In the video we clarify that the ECUs are flashable, but the TCUs are not yet at this time. You can tune your ‘23 RS5 today and experience all of the power improvements!

2023 Skoda Kodiaq RS ECU's are done? @@034MotorsportUncut

[@JeffreyWilliams-i3m]

But I get what you’re saying about the TCU vs ECU. I’m just worried that cracking the ECU for my model will be a slow, arduous process just like with the TCUs.

[@geminierica4077]

​@@JeffreyWilliams-i3mecu should work for all 2023s I was able to get a flash for my 23 golf R

[@GregoryPointing]

I have the ECU tune, Stage 1, and it rocks. Can't wait till you get the TCU so I can enjoy the extra torque and the Stage 2 TCU shift benefits.

[@Mk8__Dan]

Who knows when tcu tunes will release for Mk8 23 models 😂🤷
