NE1 else do a periodic throttle adapt?

DrGP · 10-05-2005, 07:19 AM

Just did mine again today. FYI,(for those who are unaware) the DBW program modifies itself based on you driving habits. Every few months I reset it to the default. Its easy to do . Turn ignition on to position before the car actaully starts. Press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there for 10 secs. I do it twice. I have noticed that while I am holding the pedal to the floor, I always hear 5-10 cliching noises eminating from behind the radio/AC area. I don't know if this proceedure is aplicable to those who have had a ECM flash?

I try to do it everytime I have the time to sit in my car without the car running. I dont hear any clicking though. I hold it for 60 seconds. I find that the longer you hold it down, the longer the adapt lasts.

Is this procedure in the manual? __________________ 2005 B6S4 Moro Blue/Black Premium Package, Premium Audio, Nav, Heated Seats, Sunshades Mods: Labree SS CB, Milltek DP, Odyssey 680, w/Jet Jockey bracket, K&N panel,'07 S4 brake caliper springs, ECS Tuning smoked side markers
