Overview
Enable E85 flex fuel tuning on your Audi 3.0T Gen 1 with this precision-engineered ethanol content sensor mount. CNC-machined from aluminum, this mount allows you to install an ethanol content sensor directly into your fuel system, delivering real-time ethanol percentage data to your ECU for optimal flex fuel tuning. Compatible with B8, B8.5 S4, S5, Q5, SQ5, and C6/C7 A6, A7, A8, and Q7 models equipped with the 3.0T supercharged TFSI engine.
E85 flex fuel tuning requires knowing the exact ethanol content of your fuel at all times — pump E85 can vary from E51 to E85 depending on season and location. The ethanol content sensor reads alcohol percentage in real-time, allowing your tune to continuously adjust fueling and ignition timing for maximum performance and safety across any ethanol blend. This mount is a required hardware component for any E85 flex fuel conversion on the Audi 3.0T Gen 1 platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an ethanol content sensor mount for E85 flex fuel tuning?
Yes. An ethanol content sensor must be physically installed in your fuel system to provide real-time ethanol percentage data to your ECU. This mount is the required hardware to locate and secure that sensor in your Audi 3.0T Gen 1 fuel system.
Why does pump E85 vary, and why does it matter for tuning?
Pump E85 can range from approximately E51 to E85 depending on the season and geographic region. Without a live ethanol content sensor, your ECU cannot account for this variation, which can result in a tune that is either unsafe or leaving performance on the table. The sensor enables your tune to adapt automatically to whatever blend is in the tank.
What else do I need to complete the ethanol sensor installation?
In addition to this sensor mount, you will need ethanol sensor hardlines (sold separately) and a compatible ethanol content sensor. Professional installation and a flex fuel tune from a qualified tuner are also required.
Which Audi models and engine codes is this mount compatible with?
This mount is designed for Audi 3.0T Gen 1 supercharged TFSI engines, covering B8 and B8.5 S4, S5, Q5, and SQ5, as well as C6/C7 A6, A7, A8, and Q7 models. Compatible engine codes include CAKA, CCAA, CCBA, CCDA, CGWA, CGWB, CGXC, CTUA, and CTUB.
Is this mount compatible with upgraded multi-port injection (MPI) fuel systems?
Yes. This mount is compatible with both the factory port injection setup and upgraded multi-port injection systems, making it suitable for high-performance E85 builds running increased fuel delivery.
