IT_S8 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Anybody out there with a D2 4.2 QS, preferably 1999/2000 with VAG Com that can read the coding from the gearbox module? My coding was 00001 and I've changed to 00011, as per AudiWorld suggestion, and its much sportier, but its still not kicking down into first when there is rev range available to do it... <please> :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikw Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Mine started off as 00001. I had it coded to 00011 but after a while switched back to the default 00001 coding. I found that the 'sport' coding (00011) made my five speed 'box shift up into 4th and 5th too early, stifling acceleration on a light throttle. 00001 coding makes my car hold 3rd until at least 2-2,500rpm, which seems more sporty to me! I suspect that the 00011 coding is aimed at the S8 box which has shorter 4th and 5th gear ratios, and would therefore cope with earlier upshift better.
