I have a 2000 Golf IV with power windows.
With the key in the lock all side windows can be opened and closed
automatically from outside the car. I think this function is managed by the
central convenience module.
Now I would like to know whether it is possible that I can somehow adapt
this module so that I can also open/close the side windows with my original
remote control from outside the car?

Thanks in advance,
Ulrich

I'll be glad to try to answer specific questions.

I assume you've been through the FAQ's on my website?
http://www.Ross-Tech.com/vag-com/vag-com-faq.html

Your best source of info is going to be a factory service manual with the VAG
scan-tool procedures for your particular car.    For the S4 it's easy.  Get
the Bentley CD: http://www.rb.com/product.htm?code=eab5   Unfortunately, the
CD for the 92-97 A6 isn't due out until fall.   The paper Bentley manuals
usually do not contain scan-tool procedures.

If your '95 has an OBD-II connector,

If not, you'll need to go looking for the old 2x2 connector..

Morning folks,

I just bought the VAG-com beta and am looking for *any* sources of info on it.
To minimize the burden on this group, any pointers to FAQs and
archives would be helpful.

One easy/dumb question:  where's the OBD connector on a '95 A6?  On
the 00S4 it was easy.

VAG-COM can't do it yet.  Function 10 is "Adaptation".

With VWTool:

* Open the Instrument controller,
* Click "Adaptation"
* Put in channel 30, hit Enter.
   It will show you the present value.
* Put in a new value, hit Enter
   Observe the results.
* When satisfied that you've got the correct value,
   click "Save"..

The TCM part # is 01M 927 733 EN  I will retrieve the file you need tomorrow

VWTool uses a different algorith to determine the baud rate.  It's faster,
but IMO, a less reliable way.

If you go to that channel you will see the current value. Just change the

Subject: [VAG-COM] Calibrating the fuel gauge




The fuel gauge in my A4 quattro has never read full when fully topped

The Bentley factory service CDROM describes adaptation of the sender
resistance to adjust this.

It says to select function '10' then channel '30' on VAG1552 then
tweak the resistance value between 120 and 136.

Does anyone know how to do this with VAG-COM (or VWTool for that

I've not seen anything like that.  I have sat in numerous cars and have gone
through the controllers one by one, no problems.   The current verison does
have a known problem with some Automatic Transmissions Controllers.  I will
hunt this bug down and kill it as soon as I can get my hands on a car (or
controller) that has this problem.   It would be helpful if you could give me
part numbers for the Transmission controllers it doesn't talk to.  I recently
found a good source for used conrtol modules (a very large "recycler"
specializing in VW/Audi)..

Try skipping the tranny and see if you can't communicate with the rest of the
systems then.  It is possible that the failed attempt to communicate with the
tranny causes some internal problem in the program..

Best,

-Uwe-

Unless we have someone here with access to the source code for the ECU, I
don't think anyone can tell us EXACTLY what it does...:-)

Having wtached numerous throttle adaptations done with VWTool software, I
don't think it actually moves the throttle through it's full range of travel,
only 25-50%.  The idle position is the most important.

But I have it on good (albeit 2nd hand) authority (Garrett Lim) that doing a
TB adaptation also wipes a lot of the other "learned adaptive" parameters in
the ECU, and depending on exactly how it had previously "adapted" you can get
more (or less) performance from it temporarily after doing this.  At least
one guy reports his S4 felt slower (but more consistent) on the 1320 dyno
right after doing a TB adaptation.

Best,

-Uwe-

I found that after throttle adaptation, my stock S4/Tip *feels* more
responsive? I was really suprised.

My guess is that it re-calibrates the throttle sensor for range and
linearity?

Can anyone post exactly what it does?

Thanks,
Ming

There is supposed to be a datablock from the tranny controller that gives you
real-time torque, but I don't know which one off the top of my head... Try
block numbers 9, 23, 120, 122 on both the engine and the tranny and see what
comes up.

Hello Uwe,

When you gave me a demo of VAG-COM, you mentioned that there is a
Data Block for torque (Tiptronic). Can you elaborate? Could this be
used as a poormans dyno?

BTW - I followed your lead and found what I was looking for on the
Baum website.

Thanks,
Ming

How can I check out data block 098 or 060?  Is this possible yet?

I want to run the throttle position sensor test.

It allows you to look at the (numeric) codes.
It translates the numberic codes into text.
It allows you to clear the codes.

Sometimes flaky things happen during initialization.  If you send me the
DEBUGxx.DLM file generated by that session, I might be able to tell why it
happend.  But if it eventually established communications and continued to
communicate reliably once the session was established, it's not anything to
worry about.

Best,

-Uwe-

I can answer the first question only.  You can not only look at the fault
codes you can also 1) erase them, and 2) evaluate the severity of the fault
by checking the appropriate monitoring functions, depending on the fault.

Hello Group Members:

I am sure Uwe is hard at work delivering product and working on
expanding the feature list.

How many of the purchasers of this tool would like to help Uwe set
the priority for order of the addition of capabilities.

I would like to see Adaptation and then Output tests next.

Any others interested?

Tom Arman

I am the Shop Foreman at a VW/Audi/Porsche dealership in NJ. I have access
to the VAG 1551/5051 and the CarComp VW Tool is installed on my desktop with
a 20' cable.

  I see between 40 to 60 cars a day. I plan to give this new software a very
thorough work out. I will post the results as I get them. I will be fair in
my feedback. I had the opportunity to use the program on Friday. I had a 00
Jetta 2.0 with Auto transmission that had a MIL for the engine ECM. I was
able to access the ECM reasonably quick and retrieved 3 DTC's. Since I had
the VAG-COM connected I decided to experiment more. I was not able to access
the TCM. I kept trying and it wouldn't let me in. I moved on was successful
in scanning the comfort control,ABS,Airbag and radio. I went back to the TCM
and still had no luck. I moved back to the engine ECM and strangely it
wouldn't let me in this time. I went back up to the other modules and had no
problems.
