A how-to with some VAG-COM modules

[cbrpaul]

I tried to enable the central locking speed on my '99 A4 B5, but Vag-Com won't read the 46-Central Conv. module. Any suggertions?

some dont have one thats why m8 , even though its shown doesnt mean its there !! !!!

Mine doesnt either !!!

I've just set the EGR to the lowest level, mainly due to it not affecting to much,as a test, but have found a difference, the car smokes less

Go into ECU with engine running and login code 12233. then click adaption and channel 03 should have a value of 32768, change the value to 33768 and jobs done, it may give a slighty lower value but thats ok.. This info is on the ross-tech site. have a go

What's the purpose of the EGR and what affects does it have by changing the values?

Will the central locking speed feature work on a MK IV yr 2000 2.0 GTi?

Hi Marco,

Are the above functions already enabled? e.g. is the comfort function the "home parking" function when the lights come on via remote unlocking and stay on when via remote locking? If so, then mine is not enabled. Does yours work?

What's the diff between anti-theft warning beep/system/thatchem warning?

Sorry about the questions!

Cheers.

Hi Tony

No problem with questions. The settings in black were the ones that were standard on mine. I have a document which I found on the net which has all those options for each adaption, ie Engine, comfort system, Instruments etc. Have a look at this link for how vagcom looks and works... it's quite good. http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/tour/main_screen.html

The comfort system is not the home parking lights. That's a kit you have to buy extra. The comfort system is when you keep the button pressed for locking/unlocking and the windows auto open/close, this also includes one door or all doors opening. That isn't present on the binaries above as I did it after I posted.

What's the diff between anti-theft warning beep/system/thatchem warning

My old A4 used to beep when everything was closed. It's only lights flash on the B6. I think you can enable the beep. System is the operation of the alarm. I assume the thatchem anti-theft is the alarm!! not sure, havn't changed that.


I also changed the instrument adaption. It's 02000 typically. I made it 02400. The 4 allows dor a seatbelt symbol for 10 secs when starting car!!! Just in case I forget seatbelt. No audiable beep though!!

Hi Marco,

Thanks again, very useful info!! I'll have a go and PM you any probs.
I guess you have the full version of vag-com. i.e. paid for!

Cheers.

How does the increased fuelling and decreased EGR affect a car that's been re-mapped? Will it help or hinder it? Stupid question: What's EGR?!

EDIT: I've asked this in the main index but can't delete this post!
