TCM = Transmission control module.

VAG-com = an interface between your car and a computer that allows reading of error codes, and some recoding of settings in your TCM and engine computer. It is made and sold by

drhaller's recoding information, "00032" describes the recoding that changes Tip performance.

Be warned: this is not supported by Audi, and may void warranty (esp if people keep talking about it). Don't ask the dealer to do it!

Also, you should recode it back to normal before you take your car in for service. Otherwise, the mechanics may think something is wrong, and could waste time/money diagnosing it. Be ethical and wise.

VAG Tool Locator - where to borrow one to get someone nearby to help you do the recoding (or just go to an Audi/VW meet).
