ABT upgrades

Post by Graeme4130 » Thu Mar 01, 2018 11:01 pm

I see that Audi uk dealers can fit ABT upgrades and retain the warranty
This is the ABT RS4

So they upgrade to 523hp (530 hp) by only an ECU map and cosmetic changes and you say Audi will still warranty the gearbox brakes differentials etc.
Does that mean these cars are built to have a power upgrade as a facelift?

530 upgrade is a bit more than an ecu change - intercoolers etc
The reason abt mods are carried through Audi, is there’s a license tie in for development at the factory

I noticed that too. UK is missing from the list of available countries.
Also warranty is "ABT Warranty"

KWv3 coilovers are the ABT Suspension option, so couldn’t see Audi ever warrantying that either.
