  • Helpful info fo the MkV

    Couple of helpful links for a start.

    Well, i decided to put to put together a little guide for the Vag-Com. It's only a first draft, so let me know what you think! They're in Word, but i can put them in PDF if anyone prefers it that way. ok, so i revised it into 1 pdf, and added links inside, for easier reading. Edit: docs...

      Sweeeet! Can anyone that has a vag-com trick please post it here, regardless of how "simple" it may appear. I'd love this to become a sticky for everyone, especially newbies like me ( in the area of Vag-com! )

            Speedo error reduced

            Changed stting in instruments to read more pulses so speedo reads less by about 3%.
            Means 100kph now at 103 instead of indicated 107.
            Moved speedo needle anticlockwise one click and it now reads spot on.

            Cant find my VCDS pix (Maverick has some I believe)

                      OK Bazzle, thanks for the inspiration. I've actually started reading the Ross-tech manual ( shock! ), and it is indeed an amazing tool. I'll be spending the next few days really getting to know what's what, but I found the accelerometer tonight...so I've been out on a "private road test track". Very cool!

                        I have done the self opening boot mod but it also requires you to put springs on the end of your boot struts

                        Also the TPMS retrofit.
