They don't list any TCU tune for my panamera. Did they do a custom one for you?

ma3875

Its not listed but they definitely have it. All they did is remove the TCU and flashed it before hitting the dyno.

I don't live in Canada. So I don't think this is possible.

Maybe call whomever is closest to you on the dealer list. They most likely use all the same TCU tune. Leo @ ECC in Toronto is always available by email (contact on their site) Worth asking.
Good luck!

BGB Motorsport have a ECU and TCU tune for the turbo. Call them

Thanks, I will have to do that once I get all the other items done to the car that I want to get done. I really don't need the added power, its already fast lol. That would be turning on ludicrous mode lol

Hi,
I’ve got the same problem you mentioned on my Panamera GTS Sport Turismo, (460Hp 620Nm), in May I’ve installed an OPF Delete and got an engine tune on dyno (638Whp and 830Nm) and after that, I’ve tried to replicate the problem but it have a way better response and no vibration. I’ve not done a TCU Coding.

So the issue is gone now? Whose tune did you use?

ChalkGTS

Yes, now it’s gone. Before this tune, I’ve planned a PDK oil change to a gearbox specialist here in Italy, and talking about PDKs I’ve talk to him about this issue and he also confirmed me that these problem are often more related with the engine and not with the transmission. Sincerely I was skeptic about this so I don’t even talk about it with the guy who tuned my car, but when I got the car back, I tried to replicate the issue but now it’s more responsive. I’ve tuned the car at Varese (Italy), PowerKing ChipTuning, there is also the video on YouTube ( ). But I don’t know if he work with that remotely. Tomorrow I have the PDK Oil Change, I’ll ask more information about this issue and I’ll give more information.

I’ve tried to replicate it but now seems to be all perfect, I’ve done the ECU remap on dyno at PowerKing ChipTuning here in Italy, 3h far away but worth every single penny, he also has posted a video on his YT channel.
Tomorrow I’ve an appointment at a Gearbox specialist (GearWorks), for the PDK Oil Change and also the Differential Oil, I’ll ask him more about this issue and I’ll give an update, but when I wrote with him (3 month ago, before the tune I’ve got), he told me that based on his experience, this issue that I also got, is not related with the transmission but he will test it. And here I am after the tune, it seems to be gone. But two days ago, I was driving in normal mode and at the exit of a right turn, the car short shifted from 2 to 3 at the right time I’ve increase the throttle at 40/50% and I’ve received an aggressive kick (it seems to me like some videos of the robotized Lamborghini transmission) and I was a bit scared so we’ll see tomorrow if it’s everything ok

UPDATE:
PDK Oil changed at 33500km, shifts are way more better, the clutch have more grip, the technician said that the transmission is the same mounted into the Panamera turbo, so the mechanical parts can handle more torque but not the clutches, because they are not the same as the turbo, so they will consume faster. If you DRIVE it SPORTY, not go over 30.000km/19.000 miles for the oil change, I said this because I've changed the oil with one of my friends (he got an audi a7 c7 with S Tronic), and my oil with 33000km was dirtier that his one with 65000km. So at the end it all depends on how you drive it.
