An Audi and Audi RS mechanic for Estepona needs to cover two quite different jobs: keeping a high-mileage A6 or Q7 healthy, and getting more out of an RS 3 or RS 6 without overdoing it. VAG cars are our bread and butter at SRM Performance, so TFSI engines and S tronic gearboxes are familiar ground.
The 2.5 TFSI five-cylinder in the RS 3 and TT RS responds very well to a remap, and its sound deserves an exhaust to match. The 4.0 TFSI twin-turbo in the RS 6, RS 7 and S8 does too, though heat and cooling set the limits, which matters on the coast. We always check the car before touching the software.
The other half of the Audi work that comes in from Estepona is air suspension. Plenty of A6, A8, Q7, Q8 and allroad models have it from the factory, and after a few years of sun the air springs and compressor start to give up. We diagnose it and fix it, and if you'd rather drop an S3 or A4 that never had it, we can fit a kit.

Driving route to the workshop
Your Audi, Estepona to La Línea
About 45 km along the coast: the A-7 or AP-7 towards Guadiaro, then San Roque. If the air suspension has thrown a warning, drive gently, don't lower it right down and message us before you leave.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an RS 3 gain from a remap?
It depends on the version, the engine's condition and what hardware is fitted. We don't quote figures without seeing the car, but the 2.5 TFSI has good headroom.
My Q7 shows a suspension fault. What could it be?
Most often a leaking air spring or line, or a compressor that can't keep up. We diagnose it before replacing anything.
Can you tune the S tronic as well?
On many models the gearbox can be adjusted to work better with the new map. Send us the model and year and we'll tell you.
Can you lower my Audi on air?
Yes, we fit air suspension and lowering kits. Suspension changes can affect the ITV, and keeping the car legal is the owner's responsibility.
