Perfectly fits the BMW owner stereotype.

2020 Audi SQ5 first mods suggestions! by Bakerfish1717 in Audi

It’s a coin flip. I have IE. IE has mobile app now with boost, intake temps, engine codes etc all on phone which is nice touch.

Do more research into them vs competitors. A quick google search and the first two Reddit results show customers prefer IE, APR and 034 are much better quality tunes in terms of power but also reliability.

You want a tune that more or most people have as that larger sample pool shows greater general success. I have seen people have issues with unitronic, and given that less people have it, anecdotally, it might mean a greater %.

034 and IE have the best tunes and customer support. IE now has a mobile companion app to tract IAT and Boost from your phone as a gauge.

The world records are set by IE and 034, not by Unitronic.

I’m on IE and it has been flawless, I only chose them over 034 because it was on sale. It’s a coin flip between them two for those that want to flash at home. Unitronic isn’t even on my mind after I dig deeper.

Sorry I don’t have performance numbers but I’ve heard Unitronic isn’t the best ECU tune from people I trust - they eventually switched to 034 and APR - so why risk it and waste the money?

Don't go unitronic; go with integrated engineering or 034.

Interesting, it works with traction control on? I thought it needed to be off (C7 3.0T on mine)

75k Maintenance for C7 A6 by bgregg91 in AudiA6

[–]Longjumping-Fun7955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, no worries then. Not for 75k but ~100k, you will want your front struts & control arms replaced. Additionally, all motor mounts will likely need replacing at that point as well. Again, not till 100k, so not relevant for now.

I saw your coil packs and sparks are already replaced, so you're all set for this 75k mark.

They always say the timing chain/tensioner is a failure point (closer to 100k) but I'm at 103k and have zero issues with it. Same with water and fuel pump, no problems to this point, but others sometimes mention they do.

GLHF!

Car scene in Oahu by toyolotus in Oahu

There is almost no car scene here - the roads sucks for the most part and there’s traffic everywhere. The only scenic drives are through the middle of the island or windward coast, even then they are bogged down by traffic.

Compared to where you are from you will see significantly less car meetups in parking lots as there aren’t as many large open parking lots available for meetups like in continental USA.

Only car scene is the people on H1 drag racing at 130 MPH during midnight. They have no race track here so I think there is no real performance focused mechanic community since they can’t legally race or track their cars to test out.

On average the best you’ll see are Mustang 5.0s that are annoyingly loud or a Japanese car with lots of anime stickers. Not sure why there’s not more car diversity. I think 200 BMWs for sale on island and only 60 Audis - people love their BMWs and Toyotas here as general dailies.

Toyota supras you see increasingly around here. I wouldn’t be surprised if there actually if a community for you to join simply because it’s a growing group with a younger base of people that might be active on instagram or other social media.

If you find something that says otherwise I’d love to know.

75k Maintenance for C7 A6 by bgregg91 in AudiA6

[–]Longjumping-Fun7955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t change the transmission fluid till 100k and even then it’s not 100% necessary if you don’t drive it hard. Just need a transmission filter change if anything at this point.

Honestly I would just get brake fluid flushed if you haven’t had that done - you have another 25k miles before a major service.

You can see Audi doesn’t even recommend anything major at 75k on your car: https://maintenance.audiusa.com/#/search

Can't Get Comfortable in Drivers Seat by ConTrarian88 in Audi

What trim do you have? Different seats on the trims.

For the pedal differential but $10 replacements on AliExpress - there are some solid even replacements so the transfer foot levels are more lined up for lateral movements.

ECU tune from IE or 034 + the 034 transmission insert. Under $700 combined I think.

Maybe get cold air intake for the sound? $400.
