Increase rear wheel torque transfer and traction with our Haldex Tune for the Gen 5 OCQ. During testing, our development vehicle improved 60 foot times to 1.53sec (on street tires) when paired with our optional Haldex Spring Upgrade (and Stage 3 ECU and TCU tunes). When tested on drag radials, the 60 foot time further improved to 1.50sec.
Increases pump duty cycle for increased torque transfer to rear wheels, typically from 20% - 25%
Increases torque transfer during cornering to promote oversteer
Retains factory decoupling when cruising to maintain fuel economy
Reduced 60ft times for those who like to race
Pairs perfectly with our Haldex Spring Upgrade (not required and sold separately)
To flash your Haldex module, you will need a FlashZilla Pro dongle.
Applicable to:
2015 - 2019 VW Golf VII R
2017 - 2022 VW Golf Alltrack / Sportwagen
2015 - 2020 Audi A3 / S3
2016 - 2022 Audi TT / TTS
2018 - 2022 Tiguan 4motion
*some 2019-2020 S3, TT/TTs are not compatible with our tune
With this software, you can optimize the performance of the Haldex system in your car. The software can set the oil pump to its maximum DC capacity during heavy load conditions.
The software smoothly controls the oil pump and adjusts its operating force, which in turn affects the force of the Haldex clutch, based on the vehicle's current situation (calm driving, dynamic driving, or launch control).
This ensures your system won't be overloaded when there's no need for high settings.
It is ideal for all users and for every situation the vehicle might encounter. The software can function like the stock file of your factory controller but can also boost its operating power by up to +/-40%.
After a Haldex reflash, it's essential to recalibrate the oil pump, using tools like VCDS or OBD11.
When VW decided to improve their DSG with the new 7 speed DQ381 we decided to make it even better. The results? an improved driver experience and a perfect all around package 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.
Race on Sunday. Commute on Monday.
Because not every driver drives the same, we've designed two versions of our TCU tune for the DQ381. While our competitors may only offer one style of DSG tune based on their own driving preferences, we see 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).
Our solution is to provide our TCU tune in two versions and leave the decision up to you. At no extra cost.
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.
Autobahn Features
Nur-Spec Features
Raised TQ Limiters / Max pressure +/- 14bar
2-Step Launch Control (3500RPM without kickdown / 4000RPM with kickdown)
Reduced Upshift/Downshift delay
Gear display enabled in both drive modes
Quicker Steering wheel paddle response
Raised TQ Limiters / Max pressure +/- 18bar
Quicker steering wheel paddle response
Raised Max RPM in every gear
Auto-Kickdown disabled in M mode
Auto-Upshift disabled in M mode
Dude. Just Drive. If you are using the TuneZilla Portal App to purchase and organize your tunes, you'll be able to download both TCU tune versions to your Tune Library and flash either version when you want using your FlashZilla Lite or FlashZilla Pro dongle. The TuneZilla Portal also supports offline flashing. So you can flash your ECU or TCU anytime with files that you have downloaded to your TuneZilla Portal.
Note: When flashing your TCU with the FlashZilla Lite or FlashZilla Pro, the Tool will automatically perform the DSG adaptations required after flashing.
If you are not using FZL to flash 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
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.
Our Stage Plus TCU tune for DSG is a complimentary TCU tune required for use with our 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.

Stage 1/2
INCREASED CLUTCH PRESSURE FOR HIGHER TORQUE
GEAR DISPLAY IN ALL DRIVE MODES
OPTIMIZED SHIFT PATTERNS FOR BETTER ECONOMY AND ACCELERATION
ENABLES 2-STAGE LAUNCH CONTROL W/KICKDOWN
REDUCED LAUNCH CONTROL RESPONSE TIME
SHORTENED RESPONSE FROM STEERING WHEEL PADDLES
REDUCED UPSHIFT/DOWNSHIFT DELAY
RAISED MAX RPM (up to 6800 RPM)
AUTO UPSHIFT DISABLED IN M MODE

To unlock our complete list of DSG features such as Launch Control, and our Autobahn and Nur-Spec features you will need to purchase a Stage 1/2 DSG tune.
Stage 1 ECU
Required
The Stage Plus TCU tune is a complimentary tune that increases the torque limits of the TCU to work in conjunction with our Stage 1 ECU tune without having to use a low torque file. It does not change shift maps or launch control settings.'Stage Plus' TCU tunes are only deliverable via FlashZilla Pro using the TuneZilla Portal App. Certain box codes may not be available right away. If you don't see 'Stage Plus' TCU option for your vehicle in Instatune, simply request one through the TuneZilla Portal following the prompts in the app.
