ECU Software Requirement
A custom ECU calibration is required after installation. Removing the factory DPF without the correct ECU software will result in DPF-related fault codes, warning lights and incorrect emissions-system operation.
The Darkside pipe is supplied with the required lambda sensor provision. Sensor configuration and ECU calibration should be carried out by an experienced professional familiar with the Audi 3.0 BiTDI engine.
Important Compatibility Information
This pipe is specifically designed for the 3.0 V6 BiTDI twin-turbo diesel. It does not fit every Audi 3.0 TDI. Many A6, A7, Q5 and SQ5 models use different single-turbo 3.0 TDI engines and different DPF assemblies.
Please confirm the engine code and existing DPF part number before ordering.
Important Information
Please Note: Euro Car Electronics accepts no responsibility for the use of this part on the public roads where removal of emission controls is prohibited. It is the owners responsibility to ensure they comply with rules and laws relating to their home country.
