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 RS3 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, ignition timing, fuelling, knock and temperatures all watched in real time while the car is running under load.
  • 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 £166.50/mo over 6 months at 0% APR with Bumper, interest free.
Or choose Pay in full when you book and pay with Klarna. How finance works ›
Book engine and gearbox tuning together and save £125.

Audi RS3 remapping questions

How much power will a Stage 1 remap add to an Audi RS3?
Gains vary by engine. The strongest on the Audi RS3 is the RS3 Performance, which goes from 407bhp and 500Nm to 480bhp and 620Nm, a gain of 73bhp. Find your engine in the table above for its own numbers.
What does an Audi RS3 remap cost?
Prices start at £999 inc VAT for Stage 1 on an Audi RS3. Each engine in the table shows its own price, and adding gearbox tuning at the same time saves £125. Bumper 0% finance over 6 months and Klarna are both available.
Will my Audi RS3 need unlocking before it can be tuned?
It depends on the engine as much as the year. Audis from roughly mid-2020 are locked, and so is the 4.0 V8 TFSI regardless of age. Either way we sort the unlocking: in-house on our bench or sent away, your choice, except the 4.0 V8 ECUs, which have to go away. Give us your reg and we will tell you which applies to yours. Send us your reg and we will confirm ›
Do I need any hardware for Stage 2 on an Audi RS3?
A decat or sports cat downpipe and an uprated intercooler. Stage 2 is not something we can map safely on a standard car, so without the hardware we would fit Stage 1 and you can step up once it is fitted.
Does a remap invalidate the warranty or insurance on an Audi RS3?
A remap is an aftermarket modification, so it is your responsibility to declare it to your insurer. It may also affect any remaining manufacturer warranty. Our maps are fully reversible: the car can be put back to its factory software whenever you need.
How long will my Audi RS3 be with you, and can it be undone?
Most Stage 1 tunes take around two hours, and if the ECU needs unlocking we do that on our own bench during the same visit, with no extra time. It is completely reversible: the car can go back to its factory software whenever you need.

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 inc VAT; locked ECUs (most BMW and Audi registered from mid-2020) carry an additional unlocking charge, confirmed when you book.
