Do you have gearbox problems in your Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Mini, Bentley, SEAT, Skoda or Porsche?

AVANTAGE VAG R-Tronic Gearbox Calibration
AVANTAGE VAG Singapore provides RTronic Gearbox Calibration for the Audi R8.
If you own an Audi R8 with the RTronic gearbox, you’re very likely to love the car but hate the RTronic gearbox. Jerky in Auto mode, noticeable laggy in Sport, and prone to severe clutch wear – the R-Tronic in stock form is the weak link in the otherwise awesome Audi R8.
After RTronic Gearbox Calibration by AVANTAGE VAG, you’ll experience smooth gearshifts (much like Audi’s slick Stronic gearbox) and significantly faster gearchanges when driving in Sport mode. You’ll also experience lower clutch wear rates which reduce maintenance costs.
Our Audi R8 customers have been extremely happy with R-Tronic Gearbox Calibration – get yours done today.

Features of AVANTAGE VAG Gearbox Calibration
AVANTAGE VAG Gearbox Calibration solves a lot of driveability issues. Here are some additional features you’ll love:

- Increased torque limiter & clutch holding pressure
- Reaactivation of first gear for low speed driving
- Improved RPM matching for higher gears
Options Available For AVANTAGE VAG Gearbox Calibration
AVANTAGE VAG provides two gearbox calibration options:
- Gearbox Calibration Stage 1 for stock (unmodified) cars, recommended for all Stronic and DSG gearboxes on Audis and Volkswagens.
- Gearbox Calibration Stage 2 for modified/upgraded cars, specifically for tuned, remapped and modified engines, with optional setup for big turbo upgrades or other performance modifications.
BEWARE: Many lesser so-called “DSG tuners” merely hack into the DSG gearbox software and modify the gear shift points, then sell you “DSG tuning”. This is less than ideal and will give you a mere fraction of the benefits AVANTAGE VAG Gearbox Calibration can provide.
At AVANTAGE VAG, we work with the best in the gearbox business to provide full DSG calibration, which involves two distinct and separate steps:
STEP 1: Remove all problems associated with the gearbox – juddering, jerkiness, hesitation, etc…
STEP 2: Improve gearbox performance by carefully adjusting the many technical parameters that control shift behaviour.

In addition to more specialized gearboxes, some of the common gearboxes that we calibrate include:
- DQ200 & DQ200MQB – Dry clutch 7 speed (Golf TSI, Scirocco, Polo, Audi A1)
- DQ250 & DQ250MQB – Wet clutch 6 speed (Golf GTI, Scirocco, Audi A3, S3, Skoda VRS, etc
- DQ500 – Wet clutch 7 speed (Audi TTRS, VW Tiguan)
- DL501 and DL501 Gen2 – 7 speed longitudinal (Audi A4, S4, A5, S5, Q5, RS5)
AVANTAGE VAG Gearbox Repair
AVANTAGE VAG repairs and services automatic gearboxes including Audi Stronic/Multitronic/Rtronic/Tiptronic, BMW DCT/Steptronic, Mercedes 7G-Tronic/9G-Tronic, Volkswagen DSG, and other automatic gearbox applications from Porsche, SEAT, Skoda, Bentley and more, as well as manual gearboxes.
The full range of transmission services from AVANTAGE VAG include:
- Transmission replacement
- Clutch replacement
- Gearbox component repair
- Gearbox mechatronic or control unit repair and replacement
- Gearbox software adaption and upgrade
AVANTAGE VAG includes on-road gearbox adaptation with every mechatronic replacement. This essential step ensures your clutch is perfectly adapted and prevents premature clutch wear. The majority of local workshops skip this crucial step as it is time consuming and requires specalised software to manage.
