    -Engine Must Be OFF but key in ignition turn on one notch to "accessories only".
    -Start up Vag-Com.
    -Click "Select" under "Select Control Module"
    -Click "01-Engine"
    -Click "Coding" under "Advanced Functions"
    -Change the last digit from a 2 to a 1
    -Click "Do it"
    -Close Vag-Com, turn car off and then start fully.
    -Done! :)



    A4 Engine Soft Coding:
    Last digit a 1

    A6 Engine Soft Coding:
    Last digit a 2

    What this does:
    This tells the ECU you are an A4, which changes the engine characteristics a bit. Makes the midrange and top end a little more enjoyable for enthusiasts. It changes the manifold changeover point, and I believe ignition timing slightly.


    Just wanted to bring this back up from the archives.
