How is driving the car without TCS? I am a bit worried about having that off.
DR074 did you do the hack? Has it disabled your TCS? Is it a simple 5 minute job just to plug in and change the code to Audi?
Thx
Yep, did the Audi change, throttle response is better, noticeable difference. It didn't disable my TCS. I think what Wynnston is saying is, that because of the increase in throttle response, its easier to brake traction (wheel spin). The TCS doesn't take the Audi change into consideration and doesn't work as he expected. Wynnston, correct me if i'm wrong.
Personally, it works for me.
Yeah, 5 min job.

It doesn't disable TCS, nor does it throw any faults on the car. I am just saying that the TCS system goes a little funny (yes I know, not scientific). I'm guessing its either because the Haldex isn't keeping up or that it's just not calibrated to the conditions (not as reactive as it should be). We got a spurt of wet days over here and I had a chance to run the car down the drag strip last wednesday (it wasn't wet that afternoon). The XDS adjustment might be the solution, but I'm a little apprehensive to go that far.
While I still have a lot of tread on my tyres, it is worth noting that they have 36k kms on them now, so slight changes in tyre wear might make it more noticeable.
I guess the good thing about the car, is that no matter your driving style or what sort of driving you are doing (Track, Drag strip, Highway or City driving), its pretty adjustable and gains in performance are obtainable.

Can someone point me to a thread where there is a beginners guide to coding. I'm mainly looking for equipment and how the pricing structure works. I did a few searches but can't seem to find a guide.
Has anyone here done a tune or chip to get rid of the lag in first gear. I test drove the new 206 R, but found the sluggishness from a standing start annoying coming from the V6. In fact after the test drive got back in mine and decided not to upgrade.
I understand turbo lag V NA, but with tuning can the sluggishness be removed?
Many thanks in advance.
APR Sage 1 tune really improves this with huge gains in kW and Tq.

R line 206 sedan is still listed in the ‘models’ page. Not being able to use the build page could be an IT issue, or it could mean they haven’t decided on specs moving forward past current stock on hand.
Just confirmed via the dealer this morning- VW have canned all diesels, and they are still making the 206 wagons and not the sedans (being ‘replaced’ by the Arteon).
Dealer reckons the Passat 206 sedan will hold its value anyway as they are specced in a similar way to the Arteon (apart from the polarising looks and the 7 not 6 speed) and about $10k cheaper
