You've asked, and we've answered. The TuneZilla team has been hard at work with Malone Tuning to develop and finalize a true transmission tune for the Aisin 1000 transmission found in the 3.0 TDI Cayenne, Touareg, and Q7 models - This is not just a pre-dieselgate reflash. Our calibrators have done extensive testing with this tune to bring the best driving experience back to your German SUV, whether you have an ECU tune or not. We've increased the torque limitation in the transmission, as well as recalibrated the shifting points in D and S modes. A quicker and more responsive kickdown means no more waiting when you hit the go pedal to accelerate past slow moving traffic.
Before deciding if Custom TCU tuning is right for you, we recommend trying out both of our Stage 1 TCU Versions. If you are still not happy with either version, you can pay the difference to upgrade to a custom TCU tune.

Different Strokes for Different Folks
We are constantly learning from real world feedback and testing. After a year of real world use and customer feedback, we have developed two variations of TCU calibrations to cater to a wider range of driving styles. This update to the TCU catalog was an effort to reduce the amount of additional costs to customers who choose custom TCU tuning. Pulling from a variety of driving styles and customer requests, we have released an Autobahn tune, and a Nur-Spec tune.
Autobahn | Nur-Spec |
|---|
The Autobahn calibration is for the long distance hyper-miler. With shift points that are designed to keep you in the most efficient gear for maximum fuel efficiency, the Autobahn TCU file is great for highway commuters and long distance drivers who spend most of their time in the right lane maximizing their fuel range. | The Nur-Spec calibration is for the left lane passer and the weekend adventurer. Adjusting the shift points to be more active and stay within a comfortable powerband for adventuring or left lane passing, the Nur-Spec TCU file is fantastic for those that like to have their vehicle ready to deploy torque at a moments notice with minimal downshifts. |
Dieselgate Firmware
After the Dieselgate scandal, VW updates the firmware in the TCU. This made for a more lethargic driving experience and many owners disappointed in the drivability of their vehicle. Complaints of "throttle lag" are often associated with the ECU tune, however in most cases it is the updated TCU firmware that hampers the driving experience.
Our TCU tunes support pre-fix and post-fix firmwares. When applicable, customers using the FlashZilla Pro or FlashZilla Lite dongles to read their TCU will have the option to revert back to a pre-fix firmware prior to flashing the TCU**. This will help ensure you get the most enjoyment out of your TCU tune.

Notes
We recommend the Stage 1 TCU tune for Stage 1 and above ECU tunes. However, it is not a requirement. Our TCU tune will improve driving characteristic and compliment the added torque of the ECU tunes.
