Looking for information on towing performance post fix for Q7. I have a small margin but am not far from maximum towing capacity (5600 of 6K). Concerned the TDI fix might leave me unsafe and underpowered in this situation. It is a predicament because dealer will not perform a needed repair without TDI fix, but I am deeply concerned but cannot get any information to put me at ease. Can any of you speak to this situation?

I've towed 6400 lbs for 500 miles with my Q7. I have trailer brake controller, and the tdi fix. Does wonderful. MPG over the 500 miles over loaded still net 22mpg. I had a 18ft car hauler with a built Jeep, and broke down play set. Used a lot of adblue. The power was not an issue.
