TuneZilla TCU software for Audi 8V A3, 8S TT and VW Mk7/Mk7.5 FWD vehicles equipped with a 6-Speed DQ250 transmission.
For the FWD MQB 2.0T models, TuneZilla has worked to create a perfect all around transmission tune that enhances drivability and increases enjoyment. In manual mode, you have full control of your upshifts with the “auto up-shift” disabled. Clutch pressure is increased across all drive modes to handle the increased torque from our Stage 1 or 2 files, but still works with a factory tuned ECU for users who simply demand a more spirited transmission than what the factory supplied.
Fitment/Applications:
- 2015-2018 VW Mk7/Mk7.5 GTI
- 2015-2017 Audi 8V A3 FWD
- 2015-2017 Audi 8S TT FWD
Fits the above vehicles equipped with DQ250 transmission only
Available Stages:
Stage Plus
It's like stock, but better.
The TuneZilla Stage Plus TCU tune for DSG is a complimentary TCU tune required for use with their Stage 1 ECU tune. To ensure complete driving satisfaction, customers purchasing Stage 1 ECU tunes may download the Stage Plus TCU tune at no cost.
This Stage Plus TCU tune raises the factory torque limit to work in conjunction with the additional torque from our Stage 1 ECU tune and activates D mode and S mode gear display ONLY.
You must also purchase an accompanying TuneZilla ECU tune in order to install this TCU tune. We will not process orders with only the Stage Plus TCU tune in the cart.

Race on Sunday. Commute on Monday.
Because not every driver drives the same, TuneZilla has designed two versions of their TCU tune for the DQ250 found in the FWD models. While the competition may only offer one style of DSG tune based on their own driving preferences, TuneZilla sees lots of requests from customers that prefer a more "daily drivable" Sport mode and others that prefer to have their Sport mode be more aggressive and allow them to stay closer to peak torque in every gear (to reduce the need for a gear kick-down when accelerating hard).
TuneZilla's solution is to provide their TCU tune in two versions:
|
Autobahn |
Nur-Spec |
|---|---|
|
The Autobahn is a more compliant Sport mode for highway or city driving. When cruising at a constant speed and a medium-low RPM/Throttle position the Autobahn S-Mode will engage the next gear to bring RPM down and provide a more comfortable driving experience when highway or city driving. |
The Nur-Spec S-Mode has a more aggressive shift behaviour for spirited or track driving. In S-Mode, when driving at a constant and medium-low RPM/Throttle position, Nur-Spec will remain in gear until a higher RPM or throttle input is reached. |
Dude. Just Drive. If you are using the TuneZilla Portal App to purchase and organize your tunes, you'll be able to download both versions to your Tune Library and flash either version when you want using your FlashZilla Lite or FlashZilla Pro tool.
- OPTIMIZED SHIFT PATTERNS FOR BETTER ECONOMY AND ACCELERATION
- ENABLE 2-STEP LAUNCH CONTROL (3500/4000)
- REMOVE AUTOMATIC UPSHIFTS IN FULL MANUAL MODE
- INCREASED CLUTCH PRESSURE FOR HIGHER TORQUE
- FASTER GEAR ENGAGEMENT FOR QUICKER SHIFTS
- DRIVE AND SPORT MODES RECALIBRATED FOR THE ENTHUSIAST DRIVER
- TORQUE LIMITS RAISED
Requires
- After flashing your TCU, you must Reset the following parameters in your TCU basic settings (using VCDS or similar)
- Reset Clutch Characteristic
- Reset Logging Data for Clutch 1
- Reset Logging Data for Clutch 2
These parameters must be reset otherwise clutch pressures will not increase
Notes
- D-Mode parameters are the same between Autobahn and Nur-Spec. Only the S-Mode parameters are changed.
- Nur-Spec is modelled after our European customers driving styles with higher speed limits.
- Autobahn is generally more popular for North American (daily driving situations)
- Both versions are included in the purchase price of the Stage 1/2 DSG tune.
