Locked ECU? We unlock it. Most Audis built from June 2020 have a locked ECU. Two routes, your choice when you book: £449 in-house on our bench, same day with no extra time, or £399 sent away, 3–4 working days with the car staying with us. On its own, if we’re not tuning the car, it’s £549 in-house or £499 sent away. More on unlocking → Built from June 2026? Those cars use a new ECU lock that can’t yet be opened, so we can’t tune them for now. Email sales@dcremappinguk.com with your reg and we’ll let you know as soon as that changes.

Every price on this page is a full custom dyno tune

Not a generic file bought in and flashed over the port. Your Audi Q8 is strapped to our in-house 4WD dyno and the map is written for your car, on the day, from its own data.

  • Health check firstWe look the car over and read the fault memory before we touch anything. If something is wrong, you get told. We don't map over a problem.
  • Live data loggingBoost, timing, fuelling and temperatures all watched in real time under load: knock on the petrols, rail pressure and exhaust temps on the diesels.
  • Custom calibration on the dynoThe map is built and adjusted run by run against what your engine is actually doing, not what a file supplier assumed.
  • Before and after printoutYou leave with the graph: your standard figures and your tuned figures, measured on the same rollers, the same day.
Spread the cost. From £74.83/mo over 6 months at 0% APR with Bumper, interest free.

Book engine and gearbox tuning together and save £125.

Audi Q8 remapping questions

What gains can I expect from Stage 1 on an Audi Q8?
It depends which engine you have. Across the 7 Audi Q8 engines we tune, the SQ8 4.0 V8 TFSI sees the biggest Stage 1 gain: 507bhp to 600bhp and 770Nm to 900Nm, up 93bhp. Every figure on this page is for that exact engine.
How much does it cost to remap an Audi Q8?
Stage 1 custom dyno tuning on an Audi Q8 starts at £449, and gearbox tuning is £325. Book both together and you save £125. You can spread it over 6 months at 0% with Bumper, or choose Pay in full when you book and pay with Klarna.
Does my Audi Q8 need its ECU unlocking?
Quite possibly. Most Audis built from around June 2020 have a factory-locked ECU, and the 4.0 V8 TFSI cars (SQ7, SQ8, RS6, RS7, RSQ8, S8 and the V8 A8, Q7 and Q8) are locked well before that date too. We unlock them here on our own bench the same day, or send the ECU away for a lower price; the 4.0 V8 ECUs can only go the send-away route. Send us your registration and we will confirm exactly where yours stands before you book. Send us your reg and we will confirm ›
Will remapping my Audi Q8 affect my warranty or insurance?
You will need to tell your insurer, as with any modification, and it can affect a remaining manufacturer warranty. Every map is reversible, so the Audi Q8 can be put back to its factory software at any point.
How long does it take, and is it reversible?
Allow roughly two hours for Stage 1, including any ECU unlock on our own bench. Everything is reversible: the Audi Q8 can go back to its factory software on request.

Other Audi models

Whichever you pick, the total carries through to checkout, so pay in full by card, Apple Pay or Klarna, or secure the slot with a £50 deposit. Figures are typical for a healthy, standard vehicle; your before and after dyno printout shows exactly what your car makes. Your car’s actual output depends on its condition, fuel quality and any supporting modifications. Prices shown are for Stage 1 custom dyno tuning; locked ECUs (most BMW and Audi registered from mid-2020) carry an additional unlocking charge, confirmed when you book.
