    Can I tune the ZF8 in my 2012 Amarok 2.0L

    Hello all,

    Thinking of purchasing the MPVI3, but want to make sure it will work with my 2012 Amarok 2L TDI. I am only trying to tune the transmission as it is shuddering.
    I see only the new 2016+ Amarok on the supported vehicle list, but I also see "year11-17 ZF8HP 8-Speed Transmission Control Module (TCM)" is supported. I am guessing this means I can access the Amaroks TCM, but not the engine tune?

    Thanks!

    Hello!

    That is a good question!
    I would suggest you sending a detailed information to HP Tuners Support: [email protected]

    In case you need specialized trans tune support, let me know.
    Thanks.

    my15 late 2014 build 2.0L zf8hp yes im able to tune the gearbox only.
    only works with the beta download.

    vw did a horrendous job with the shift points with many set above the engines 4500RPM limit at 90%+ throttle inputs.
    its very time consuming looking at 100+ tables and lowering the shaft speeds below redline
