1.1 About the Guide
This guide is about tweaking and troubleshooting the original Audi TT, also known as mk.I.
The information is snatched from various sources, mostly from Audi related forums on the
Internet. Even tough the information is believed to be correct, it is provided with no warranty of any kind.
The guide is divided into three parts. First part, Chapter 2, contains information how to
troubleshoot common problems, and some general information. Second part, Chapter 3,
contains instructions for tweaking various features. Third part, Chapter 4, is a collection of
lists and tables, in an easily printable form.
As most things in a car are nowadays controlled with diagnostics software and a computer,
this guide is mostly about the tricks and tweaks that can be done purely with software. At the moment, no hardware mods are included, though some general information is provided.
This guide is not supposed to replace the workshop repair manual, but rather provide some often used information in easily accessible form. If you ever have read the repair manual, you probably appreciate it…
1.2 About VAG-COM
VAG-COM is the diagnostics software for the Volkswagen-Audi Group cars. It is a semi-free product from Ross-Tech, http://www.ross-tech.com/. All you need is a VAG-COM compatible OBD-II cable, and the free software from Ross-Tech web site.
The official VAG diagnostics software is called VAS 5051, but only a few people have access
to it. Fortunately, VAG-COM can do all the tricks the official software can do, and even more.
Further, all the instructions for VAS 5051 in the workshop repair manual can be directly
applied to VAG-COM.
There are two versions of VAG-COM available on the Ross-Tech site. The latest version
requires a dongled cable from Ross-Tech. It is pricey, but you will get a great piece of
software bloaded with features, plus full support from Ross-Tech.
The cheapest option is the get a VAG-COM compatible cable from a third party, and to
download an older version 409.1 of the software from Ross-Tech. Even tough some people
have had luck with USB cables, it is strongly adviced to stick with a serial cable. The USB
cables are known to have very tricky timing issues.
The free software version 409.1 will work in shareware mode, which gives you fault codes
without explanations, and very limited data logging features. The license for the full version is available from Ross-Tech, costing $99, but it’s still only for the version 409.1.
More information about what third party cables are known to work with TT can be obtained from the TT forum http://www.tt-forum.co.uk.

2.1 Diagnostics Trouble Codes
Courtesy of factory repair manual
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is a fault code stored in the car’s computer system.
DTCs can be retrieved with VW/Audi Factory Scan Tools such as the VAG 1551 or VAG
1552 through a diagnostics connector (OBD-II). Several aftermarket scan tools and computer programs, like VAG-COM, are also capable of retrieving this information in this factory mode. The factory mode also allows the scan tool to be used for system diagnostic functions and also parameter tweaking.
Some DTC information can also be retrieved in a generic mode. The generic mode is not as
complete as the factory mode, but allows commercially available scan tools to be used
simply to read DTCs. For example, MOT stations can use the generic mode to retrieve some basic information about the engine’s fundamental functions.
A DTC consists of five digits, having the following structure.
First digit structure is:
• Pxxxx for powertrain
• Bxxxx for body
• Cxxxx for chassis
• Uxxxx for future systems
Second digit structure is:
• P0xxx Government required codes
• P1xxx Manufacturer codes for additional emission system function; not required but reported to the government
Third digit structure is:
• Px1xx measurement of air and fuel
• Px2xx measurement of air and fuel
• Px3xx ignition system
• Px4xx additional emission control
• Px5xx speed and idle regulation
• Px6xx computer and output signals
• Px7xx transmission
• Px8xx transmission
• Px9xx control modules, input and output signals
The fourth and fifth digits designate the individual components and systems.
The full DTC list can be found in section 4.13, starting at page 65. For details, visit the Ross-Tech site http://wiki.ross-tech.com/index.php/Category:Fault_Codes.

2.2 Climate Control Diagnosis Codes
Courtesy of Waks Wide Web
There are a great number of sensor values that can be displayed on the Climate Control
display. These are especially useful if you don’t have VAG-COM (available).
To activate the display, press and hold the recirculation button. Then press the manual flow control up arrow. You should see 1C:
Twist the temperature dial to cycle trough the codes. Then press the recirculation button
again to enter the code. The value should display:
To select another code, twist the temperature dial again, followed by the recirculation button.
Note! Some of the codes – like 12,14,16,19 – allow you to actually change the value by
twisting the air blower speed knob!
To go back to normal CC mode, press the recirculation and the up buttons together.
Alternatively, just press Auto.
All the known codes are listed in section 4.2.

We have all seen the common problems that these cars develop, and often know right away what symptom = what problem.
2.3.1 Symptoms – Possible Problems
Rough Running At Idle – MAF, Ignition Coil, Spark Plug, VAC Leak, O2 Sensor, TB, CTS
Missfires under Boost, Flashing CEL – Ignition Coils, Spark Plugs
Running Rich – Boost Leak, MAF, O2 Sensor, Coolant Temp Sensor
Running Lean – VAC Leak, MAF, O2 Sensor, Fuel Filter, Coolant Temp Sensor
Low Boost – Limp Mode, MBC, BOV, DV, Boost Leak, N75,
High Boost – MBC Setting, N75, Spark Plugs, Ignition Coils
Cold Start Problems – MAF, Spark Plugs, Fuel Pump Relay, CTS
Poor MPG – MAF, CTS, O2 Sensor, AIT Sensor
Cat Efficiency Below Threshold – Down pipe, CAT, Rear O2, RACE FUEL
No Start – Battery – ECU, Fuel Pump Relay, Ground
Start For 1 Second – Stall – Immobilizer
Overheating – Waterpump, Thermostat, Head Gasket
Oil in coolant – Oil Cooler, head Gasket, Water Wetter
Dies While Driving – Timing belt, Boost Leak, MISC
Shorts To Ground CEL – Fuel Pump Relay, Bad Grounds
Most of these procedures require a VAG-COM to scan the car for DTCs. While you can fix
things without a VAG-COM you will most likely be replacing parts that really are not bad just to rule them out. A VAG-COM is a must have for any 1.8T mechanic.
AIT – Sensor – This is a small sensor located in the intake manifold just after the throttle
body. It is responsible for monitoring the intake temperature. It can get coated with oil, and can affect gas mileage, and a loss of power. It is common to remove it and clean it with
alcohol, or electronics cleaner.
Boost Leak – View Block 032 with VAG-COM. If Fuel Trims are Negative more than 5% in
the load range there is a very good chance that there is a leak after the turbo. Visual
inspection of clamps, hoses for a loose connection is the best way to look for leaks. A
common place for leaks is at the entrance to the pancake pipe located in the passenger side
fender. Also the small line on the DV can rip. See also section 2.4.
BOV – Blow off Valve’s vent off air metered by the MAF, and can cause many problems, and make it more difficult to troubleshoot a car. Best way to troubleshoot a BOV is to replace it with a DV and see if the problems continue.
CAT – Aftermarket high Flow Cats often sacrifice emissions for power. It is not uncommon
for aftermarket cats to give codes for “efficiency below threshold” right away. Some people
have had success using O2 adapters to move the rear O2 sensor away from the exhaust gas and eliminating this code. O2 simulators do not work on the 1.8T. Sometimes cats can melt or clog up. Running hig exhaust gas temps for extended periods of time can cause this.
Usually you will get the cat code, and see that the max boost and sustained boost levels drop off. After checking everything else on the list, remove the down pipe/cat and check to see that light shines through brightly. If there is very little light passing through it is clogged and requires replacement.
Coilpacks – See Ignition Coils.
– 7 –
CTS – Coolant Temp Sensor – This part is prone to failure. 2002 and older vehicles had a bad coolant temp sensor from the factory that VW updated. It was a black sensor, and now the good one is referred to as a green top coolant temp sensor. Block 011 in the VAG-COM
can monitor coolant temp for erratic readings. This is a £15 part. Do not change while engine is hot.
Down-Pipe – See CAT
DV – Diverter Valve – When the throttle is closed on a turbo car, the turbo is spinning rapidly, and trying to push air into the engine. By closing the throttle the air has nowhere to go, and will cause a large pressure spike. The diverter valve is actuated by a vacuum line, and when the throttle closes creating vacuum behind it, the diverter valve will open and provide a path for the air. The air is returned back to the intake of the car after the MAF. When A DV fails it leaks air in this circular pattern causing boost problems.
2001 and older cars have a weak DV that is prone to failure. 2002 and newer cars have an
improved design. It is durable, inexpensive (£20) and it responds very quickly. The part
number for the good valve ends in 710 N. The DV is located at the back right side of the
engine, it has 1 large hose, and 1 small line connected to it, and the other end is connected
to your intake hose running to the airbox. To test if your DV has failed remove the DV, press the diaphragm up, put your thumb on the top nipple, and then release the diaphragm. There should be suction created on the top of the DV that prevents the diaphragm from returning. If there is no suction then the diaphragm is leaking and the valve should be replaced. IF the valve is good, check the VAC line leading up to the valve for any cut’s/ tears. A good alternative to the standard valve is the Forge 007P.
ECU – Engine Control Unit – The ECU is responsible for nearly all functions on the car. If the ECU is suspected as a bad part, you need to use a scan tool such as a VAG com to attempt to communicate with the ECU. If you can’t communicate with the ECU, then the ECU needs replacement. Check all electrical connections. Check your Fuses for blown fuses. Whatever killed the ECU might kill the new one.
ECU removal procedure: http://www.goapr.com/VW/support/ecu_tt_golf_gti_jetta.pdf
Fuel pump Relay – The fuel pump relay is located under the driver’s side kick panel.
Remove the lower panels to gain access to the relay box. When the fuel pump relay goes
bad it will trigger many fault codes with electrical shorts to ground. The fuel pump relay is
also used to turn on the injectors, and will show injector short to ground failures. If you open your door you hear the pump kick on, if the pump no longer kicks on, and you experience these codes repeatedly, replace the fuel pump relay.
Fuel Filter – The fuel filter on these cars is rated as a lifetime filter by VW. What the
aftermarket has found is that high HP applications can run into fuel delivery problems with
dirty fuel filters. 30K miles is a more realistic interval for replacement when pushing the
system. The fuel filter is located under the car near the gas tank. It has small clip on hoses.
To remove the hoses press in on the clip on the end of the hose and it will come off easily.
You may need a small screwdriver for this, and be prepared to have fuel leaking out.
Head Gasket Head gaskets can be a cause of overheating, oil consumption or coolant in the
oil. I have only heard of one case of a head gasket failure on a 1.8T and it was on a car
running 30 lbs of boost and used head bolts. This is a repair better left to an experienced
mechanic and is generally a last item to do after all other possibilites have been evaluated.
Oerheating is usually the water pump, and coolant in the oil is usually the oil cooler failing
internally.
Immobilizer – These cars are equipped with immobilizers to prevent theft. If you swap an
ECU without matching up the ECU and the cluster, it will start briefly and then die repeatedly. There are 2 kinds of immobilizer. Immo II used on pre 2002, and Immo III used on 2002+.
Immobilizer and ECU info can be found on the VAG-COM Site.
http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/immobilizer2.html
http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/Immo3-ecu-swapping.html
If swapping an engine into a car without an immobilizer/cluster, you can get software for swaps from REVO, and Dahlback that remove the immobilizer.

Ignition Coils – These are famous parts for the 1.8T they are very prone to failure. The 1.8t motor has a slightly different ignition system than most of us are used to, replacing the more traditional distributor and ignition wires are coilpacks. Coilpacks sit directly ontop of your spark plugs, and are located directly underneath your engine cover. You need to remove your coilpacks in order to change your sparkplugs. Coilpacks work in much the same way as a traditional ignition system in that they power up the sparkplug to create a spark and transfer potential energy in the head into kinetic energy through combustion. In general many people have had certain problems with their coilpacks, chalk it down to improper sparkplug gapping, faulty modules or a host of other conditions. There was a running change in late 2000 where the coilpacks were redesigned and the manufacturer changed. The original coilpacks were produced by Hitachi and used allen keys and clips to hold them in place. Very few of these failed.
The later coilpacks are produced by Bosch, with many revisions. VAG has had a recall on
these because they were failing rapidly on 2001+ cars. To check for bad coils the best way is with a VAG-COM. Log Blocks 014, 015 and 016. This will be a misfire counter. Drive the car or let it run, and look for misfires. If you have a bad coil you will see the counter increase on a cylinder. If you have one counting up then it’s probably a bad coil. Turn off engine and take that coil out and swap it with another coil. The cylinders read left to right 1,2,3,4 when looking at the engine from the front. Use the VAG-COM again to see if the misfires have also swapped to another cylinder. If it moved, then you have a bad coil. Replace it. If they do not move, then you likely have a plug problem. On some cars the ignition coils have problems and they will pop up out of the cylinder head and lose contact with the plug. Plugs should be torqued to 22 ft-lbs when changed. If the coils still pop up, they can be fixed with simple brackets.
Limp Mode – These cars are designed to protect themselves from engine damage. If the
engine boosts too much, or the engine does not get enough fuel it will go into a limp mode
where boost is limited to protect the engine. It limits boost by controlling a solenoid on the
wastegate line (N75), by closing the electronic throttle or by opening the DV valve. If you are experiencing a limp mode the best thing to do is get the car scanned for codes and to see what is wrong. Look at fuel trims for signs of running lean, and to look for MAF problems, or O2 sensor problems. To look for potential boost problems log Block 115 and you can see the specified Vs actual boost. If you exceed the specified then there is a good chance that you will go into this limp mode. Stock specified is a max of ?psi for a 2002+ car.
MAF – Mass air flow meter is used to measure the air going into the engine. It is located on
the outlet of the airbox, and housed in a cylindrical tube. The ECU reads the MAF signal, and injects fuel in proportion to the airflow. There are a few different ways the MAF can fail. The MAF can get coated with oil, and will not read properly. This is common if it happens right after installing a CAI, or a K&N filter. It can be cleaned out with 99% isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Remove the sensor from the housing and clean the sensor element.
MAF sensors also go bad due to too much airflow. On a car with a larger turbo the airflow is so high that the MAF element will get burned out from the excess air flow. It is common to increase the size of the housing to prevent this (other modifications required).
To check for a BAD MAF the best way is with a VAG-COM. Block 002 show air mass from
the sensor. At idle the airflow should be no less than 2g/s. With a wide open throttle run to
redline the reading should show up to 190-220g/s on a chipped car. Look for jumpy readings in the MAF, which can indicate a problem. If you suspect your MAF is bad, one way to test it is to unplug the MAF, often if the MAF is giving false readings and upsets the fueling. If you unplug it, the ECU will ignore the MAF and run off of baseline tables. Be careful, as a boost leak or a vacuum leak can be miss-diagnosed as a bad MAF, because they will throw off the readings on the MAF. (Air sneaks around the MAF).
MBC – Manual Boost Controller – Often people want more boost from their car, and use a
MBC. While MBCs can get you more boost they will cause a jerky part throttle driving, and
can cause over boost, often put the car into a limp mode. The way a MBC works is by
bleeding off air from the wastegate control line. A wastegate is a mechanical flapper valve inthe turbocharger that opens to allow exhaust gas to sneak around the turbo. By bleeding off air from the line, the wastegate opens less, more exhaust goes through the turbo, and you get more boost.
– 9 –
N75 – The N75 is an electronic solenoid valve that the ECU uses to control boost. It is
located in the intake hose near the back right side of the engine. It has 3 connections.
1. Connects to charge pipe = pressure source
2. Connects to wastegate actuator
3. Connects to intake hose – bleed line.
The ECU will pulse this valve at a high frequency to bleed air off from the wastegate line. It
does this based on throttle position and engine load. If the valve, or any of the liens
connected to it have leaks then there can be severe boost regulation problems. Its function is similar to the MBC above. To get more boost people often swap in different N75 valves.
These different valves simply have a different response characteristic, and will act different when given the same signal by the ecu. They can get more boost, less boost, or even a big boost spike by swapping N75’s.
O2 Sensor – Because of strict emissions these 1.8T’s are very sensitive to readings from the O2 sensors. Most 2001+ TTs have a wideband front O2 sensor with high accuracy and a linear response. The car will adjust the fueling based on the readings from the sensor. If the sensor is overheated, exposed to lead (race gas), flooded with soot (too rich) or is just old, it can provide the car with false readings and the car will not provide the proper fueling. When the O2 sensors go bad and the ECU detects this the car will run on reserve fueling maps and will not be able to adjust for boost leaks, fuel pressure, MAF readings or any other parameter that affects fueling. To check for a bad sensor the first thing to do is run block 032 on the VAG com. If the sensors are bad, the readings will both be 0%, replace the front O2 sensor.
If the sensor is bad, it will also respond slowly, or reach a peak. Logging block 031 will show
the lambda reading from the O2 sensor as well as the requested lambda from the ECU. To
get air fuel ratio multiply lambda by 14.7. If the log shows the lambda jumping wildly when
running through a gear, or perhaps it flat lines at an unreasonable level, then the O2 sensor
should be replaced. If the O2 sensors get shorted out or the wires get pulled, they will
damage the ECU, be careful with the wiring on these sensors. 2000 and older cars do not
have a wideband sensor, however they will still perform some adjustment of fueling based on the sensor.
Oil Cooler The Oild cooler on these cars uses a plate and plate heat exchanger. Often the
brazing on the cooler can fail and oil and coolant mix together. This is often misdiagnosed as a bad head gasket. To test this remove the coolant hoses, and apply air pressure to the oil cooler and watch for leaks. Oil cooler is located above the oil filter.
Spark plugs – With the weak coil packs that these cars have, and the high boost pressures
that they run, the spark plugs are very important. Spark plugs on turbo cars need a nice tight gap 0.028” is recommended. Spark plugs may come “pre-gapped” however you should always check the gap, as the variation can be severe and will cause problems. Plugs are cheap, so the best way to troubleshoot is to replace them or pull them and check the gap.
The standard OEM plugs are NGK-PFR6Q. If you are running serious power, a good
alternative is the cooler type NGK-PFR7E.
Thermostat – Thermostats can be a source of overheating. Most common is the waterpump. Thermostats are relatively inexpensive, and can be change din a half hour. If your car overheats, or has a tendency to spike up in temp and then drop down to normal temp, it may be a thermostat. It can fail after only 30k.
Timing Belt If you are driving along and your 60k+ car runs great and all of a sudden dies,
there is a good chance that your timing belt has broken, or stripped some teeth. This is a
very costly repair and could have been prevented had the factory recommended a better
service interval for the belt. Damage estimates are anywhere from £500 – £3000 to repair this kind of failure. 60k miles is a good time to change the timing belt, some belts have lasted 90k, but it’s not worth the risk. To test for this failure, pull off the timing belt cover and crank the engine by hand. If the cam gear doesn’t turn you have a bad timing belt. Repair is best left to a good mechanic.
– 10 –
TB – Throttle Body – The throttle on these cars is drive by wire, it is an electronic throttle with a wire attached. Most common TB problem just requires adaptation, or cleaning out with carb cleaner. This procedure shows how to do a TBA. TBA can improve idle and part throttle operation. To clean the TB, remove it, and spray inside with carb cleaner. Wipe out the residue that gets built up in there. NEVER port a TB on a 1.8T it won’t idle properly. See also section 2.5.
Race Fuel – 1.8T engines love high octane fuel, however they can have cold startup
problems, and if you run leaded race fuel you will ruin your CAT and your O2 sensors.
Always run unleaded fuel in a 1.8T unless you are catless, and you have extra O2 sensors.
In the UK, the TT just loves Shell V-Power 99RON, but BP’s Ultima is also fine.
VAC Leak – A VAC leak will cause un-metered air to enter the engine and it will run lean. If the air is not measured by the MAF then the fuel will not be injected. The O2 sensor will
compensate for much of this, however it has limits. To check for a VAC leak, log block 032
and check the idle fuel trims. If it’s more than +2% you probably have a VAC leak
somewhere. Check hoses and connections for loose clamps of cut hoses here are come
common areas for VAC leaks.
Turbo inlet pipe not secured, DV line leaking, Crank case breather Y pipe split, Line on Fuel pressure regulator gets worn and leaks, intake manifold gasket can leak, and PCV line under intake manifold leaks. To find leaks some people spray ether or starter spray around in the engine bay and listen for changes in idle speed. If you get a change from spraying in a certain area look for leaks there.
Waterpump – Nearly all overheating problems I have seen on these engines has been from
the water pump. VW uses a plastic impellar that is splined/molded onto the shaft. These
splines strip, or the pump cracks and the impellar slips on the shaft at high speeds. If your
car is overheating best bet is to change the waterpump. You can do the T-stat first to see if
you are lucky, but every time I have seen people try this it’s the water pump anyways. This happens as early as 35k miles. While you are in there doing the water pump, change the timing belt. Timing belts on these can go as early as 60k miles. There are several companies that make kits to do the timing belt and water pump.
Water wetter – Water wetter is an additive used to remove surface tension from water. It
improves waters cooling ability in a cooling system as it prevents beading of the water, and
raises the boiling point. Water wetter should not be used with G12 coolant. It is best for race cars running only water. If you add this to the coolant reservoir you get a nasty oily sludg in the reservoir. Flush coolant system and remove this.

Some of the most common Fault Codes (DTC’s) pertain to fuel trim (rich mixture, lean
mixture, etc.) Here is an explanation of fuel trim and what it does for us.
The ECU controls Air/Fuel mixture in order to maintain power, efficiency, and emissions. A/F is expressed as either a ratio (14.7:1 for example) or as a Lambda value. With iso-octane (“ideal” gasoline), Lambda of 1.0 is equal to 14.7:1 A/F. This is known as stoichiometric, a condition where there is a perfect balance between oxygen molecules and the various hydrogen and carbon based molecules in petroleum. With the oxygenated gasoline that most of us use, actual A/F ratio of 15:1 is closer to stoichiometric.
If Lambda is greater than 1.0, then there is a surplus of air and the engine is running lean. If Lambda is less than 1.0, then there is a surplus of fuel and the engine is running rich. It
should be noted that the ratios are mass-based, not volume-based.
So, why don’t we always run at 1.0 all the time? Well, we do most of the time. At cruise and
idle, mixture is held tightly to 1.0 to keep the catalytic convertor at optimal efficiency, so the emissions are minimized. However, when we need acceleration, the mixture gets richer. Why? Maximum power is made between 0.85 and 0.95 Lambda (12.5 to 14.0 A/F with isooctane). So, under acceleration, mixtures get richer. Sometimes you want to get even richer under acceleration to keep detonation (pre-ignition of the mixture from excess cylinder temperatures) away. The 1.8T, for example, has a relatively high compression ratio for a turbocharged engine, which especially under lots of boost, is very succeptible to detonation.
So, now that we know that the ECU wants to be able to control the A/F ratio. It has a
prescribed set of values (maps) for a given RPM, Load, etc. So, the ECU tells the injectors to pulse for exactly x milliseconds and that should get us the proper A/F ratio that we want.

Well, if you tell an employee to go do something, you want to make sure they actually did it, right? The ECU has some snitches (the front O2 sensor and the MAF, for the most part) that will report back whether or not the desired mixture has been attained. The rear O2 sensor is used mostly to monitor the condition of the catalytic convertor, although in some applications it also contributes to trim information.
Based on feedback from the snitches, the ECU learns to apply a correction factor to its
commands to the fuel injectors. If you know that your employees take longer than the
standard allotted time to do a specified job, you will need to adjust for that in your planning
(injectors are in a union, so it is tough to fire them). The learned values go between the maps in the ECU’s Flash ROM (the “chip”) and the signal to the fuel injectors. These learned compensations are known as “trim”. So, when you see “trim”, it means “compensation”. “Add” means additive trim, which is addressing an imbalance at idle. When the ECU is using additive trim, it is telling the injectors to stay open a fixed amount longer or shorter. The malfunction (e.g. vacuum leak) becomes less significant as RPM increase. For additive adaptation values, the injection timing is changed by a fixed amount. This value is not dependent on the basic injection timing.
“Mult” means multiplicative trim, which is addressing an imbalance at all engine speeds. The malfunction (e.g. clogged injector) becomes more severe at increased RPM. For
multiplicative adaptation values, there is a percentage change in injection timing. This
change is dependent on the basic injection timing.
You can check your current state of trim by using VAG-COM or equivalent to look in Group 032 in your engine measuring blocks. The first two fields will have percentages. The first field tells the fuel trim at idle (Additive). The second field tells the fuel trim at elevated engine speeds (Multiplicative). Negative values indicate that the engine is running too rich and oxygen sensor control is therefore making it leaner by reducing the amount of time that the injectors are open. Positive values indicate that the engine is running too lean and oxygen sensor control is therefore making it richer by increasing the amount of time that the injectors are open.
It is totally normal for both the first and second fields to be something other than zero. In fact, zeros indicate either you just cleared codes (which will reset fuel trim values) or something isn’t working properly. If values get too far away from zero, it will cause a DTC (fault code) and can set off the MIL (commonly referred to as the Check Engine Light, or CEL). Specifications for normal operation are usually somewhere near +/- 10%. In general, an outof- spec value in the first field (Additive) indicates a vacuum leak, since it is mostly present at idle, when vacuum is highest. An out-of-spec value in the second field (Multiplicative) indicates a fault at higher RPM, and may point to a faulty MAF.
Other causes for the trims staying below specifications:
• High oil consumption
• Oil dilution
• Boost leak after turbo
• MAF defective
• Fuel pressure too high
• Injector(s) not closing properly
• Charcoal filter system valve N80 stuck open
• Lambda probe defective
– 13 –
Other causes for the trims staying above specifications:
• Unmetered air in the intake
• MAF defective
• Fuel pressure too low
• Injector(s) not opening properly
• Charcoal filter system valve N80 sticking
• Lambda probe defective
Here’s a good sanity check for the status of your MAF. Do a full-throttle run all the way to
redline in a single gear (second works fine). Group 002 shows air mass in g/s. Your peak
airflow should be roughly 0.80 times your horsepower. So, if you have a stock 150hp 1.8T,
expect around 120g/s. If you have a 225hp 1.8T remapped to 265hp, expect around 200g/s.
If you see significantly less than that, you MAF may be on the way out. This also works if you are chipped, but “race” programs may make more power through timing, rather than airflow. Therefore, take all readings with a grain of salt. Also remember that the MAF can be knackered even if all values look reasonable!

2.5 Throttle Body Adaptation without VAG-COM
More info on Ross-Tech wiki
Throttle body adaptation (TBA) is a procedure used to calibrate the throttle body flap
sensors. Sometimes it is confused with clearing the ECU adaptation tables. The only
procedure to ensure the real throttle body adaptation is to enter VAG-COM basic settings
block 060. However, the ECU usually does TBR after its power supply is cycled, i.e. the fuse has been pulled or the battery has been disconnected.
The reason for doing TBA is that some people have reported power loss after a long period
of unspirited driving, as if the ECU were adapting to the driving style. Presumably the ECU
has just lost the flap sensor calibration. However, if hesitation is caused by misguided
(ignition or fueling) adaptation, full reset may be needed instead of TBA.
If you don’t have VAG-COM, or you actually want to reset the ECU for clearing all adaptation tables, you can just pull the ECU fuse, or disconnect the battery. Leave the power out for 5min to ensure all the power has been drained. Then reconnect, and turn on ignition, but DO NOT start the engine. Listen out for the clicking under the bonnet, which is usually over after a minute. Turn off ignition.
Warning! If you disconnect the battery, be prepared to enter the radio safety code.
Note. The ECU fuse is #10 for models before 10/2000, or #37 for models after 10/2000.

2.6 Basic VAG-COM Logging Tests
Courtesy of MJB Motorsport, jonas@TT-forum
2.6.1 Block 032 – Fuel Trims
Refer to section 2.4 for complete description.
In measuring block 032, field 1 represents the fuel trim at idle (additive), and field 2
represents the fuel trim at part throttle (multiplicative). Always check these two figures first, before doing any futher analysis.
The idle trim should generally stay between -9% and +9%, and the partial throttle trim should stay within -25% … 25%. A negative value indicates the ECU is leaning fueling (engine running rich), and positive indicates the ECU is enriching (engine running lean). A value outside -25% … 25% hints that there is certainly something wrong with the engine – the ECU will throw a DTC.
2.6.2 Block 002 – Mass Air Flow Sensor / MAF
This field 4 in block 002 indicates the airflow in grams per second, measured by the MAF
sensor. That is the amount (mass) of air the engine is sucking in. The ECU calculates the
fueling parameters based on this figure.
Check the MAF reading at idle. Make sure the car is running and warmed up and the A/C is off. The value at idle should be between 2 and 4 g/s. If it’s lower than 2 g/s, then the MAF is presumably faulty, or there is a leak in the intake tubing between the MAF and the turbo. On a chipped car one would expect MAF numbers to increase linearly as the car approaches redline under WOT. The highest numbers will be seen at or near redline and are likely to be in the neighborhood of 190-220g/s for a chipped TT225. Low numbers at redline, such as 160g/s, are a good indicator your MAF is on the way out.
If you suspect your MAF is bad, one way to test it is to unplug the connector. With the MAF unplugged, the ECU will run on the baseline tables. If the engine runs smoother without the MAF, the chances are the MAF is knackered.
2.6.3 Block 031 – Lambda (A/F)
Refer to section 2.4 for complete description.
This value is particularly important to be viewed and interpreted only when the car is under full throttle (WOT). Take your logs in third gear (or higher if your local authorities will allow) from 2500rpm till redline.
Usually you will see values like: 1.0 ~ 14.7:1 stoich a/f ratio; 0.85 ~ 12.5:1 “high power ratio”;
0.75 ~ 11:1 “redline ratio”. To convert between lambda and A/F, simply multiply by 14.7.
Remember that lean is your ultimate enemy. Running too lean for too long will spell disaster for the motor. Ideally you would like to see the A/F passes linearly from the stoich 14.7:1 at idle, towards 13:1 in the mid rpms, to at least 12:1 at redline. This would show a car that is getting good fuel mileage under easy driving, but richens up nicely as you wind it out under full throttle to redline. This would make you feel at ease driving the car under high load conditions at high speeds or using the car for frequent track days.

2.6.4 Block 004 – Intake Air Temperatures
This block displays the coolant temperature and the intake air temperature. The intake air
temperature probe is located in the intake manifold just after the throttle body. This sensor measures the temperature of the air after it has passed through the intercoolers and is entering the engine to mix with the fuel. Ideally the intake air should be as cool as possible, perhaps remaining at ambient temps.
The intercoolers are designed to make use of the air flowing over the car to cool the intake
air. It is common to see temps begin to rise after a spirited driving regimen while the car is
stationary. Watching those temps rise while idling and then observing how quickly they once again reduce as the car goes underway gives some insight into the recovery rates of the intercoolers.
You may also want to observe the temps througout a 3rd gear wide open throttle (WOT) run, to see if the temps remain cool and stable. If the temps start to raise too high (near 100°C), this may be an indicator that the boost pressure is too high, or an intercooler upgrade would be of benefit.
2.6.5 Block 020 – Timing Retard
This block shows the timing retard for each cylinder. You should see a field of zeros
everywhere, with a few possible spikes up to 9°KW. The number 0 in each of the cylinder
boxes indicates no timing retard is taking place. Non-zero numbers indicate the timing
advance is reduced.
Now, what if you see some random numbers like “1.5” and “3” every once in awhile? This
should be fine. If you were a tweaker, ideally you would want to find that point where you are able to use the most timing without triggering problems. Since most people do not mess with timing adjustments, we want to see as close to zero as possible thoughout.
Warning! The ECU can retard timing no more than 12°KW. Timing retard greater than
10°KW should make you worried, and is a major player in engine destruction.
Example: An engine running very safe timing (standard map)
– 17 –
Example: An engine running too much timing advance:
Example: An engine running aggressive timing (remap):
– 18 –
2.6.6 Block 112 – Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGT)
This monitors the exhaust gas temperatures in the exhaust manifold. To find out the full
temperature range, take your car out for some spirited full boost runs, then start logging in
the normal 3rd gear WOT manner. If you want to see what the limits are here, it will take
some beating on the car to find it. When the car is still warming up, your readings may not
accurately reflect just how high these temps can get.
Exhaust gas temperatures up to 900°C are common to the 1.8T engines, especially when
heavily boosted. The sensor appears to be only accurate to 999°C. If you see readings
creeping up this high, you have a great indicator that something is not right on your car and your engine is not happy with you.
Warning! Running too high of temps for too long will spell disaster.
2.6.7 Block 115 – Requested Boost and Actual Boost
This block displays the boost requested by ECU (command pressure) in the first column, and the boost actually made by the turbo (boost pressure) in the second column. This is a very helpful channel for diagnosing boost leaks, limp mode problems, and general hardware issues.
The numbers here are absolute pressures, without atmosphere pressure correction
(1013mbar at sea level). Usually it’s good enough to subtract 1000mbar from the numbers, though the real barometric pressure is available in block 113. Further, if you need the numbers in psi, just multiply by 0.0145.
So why are the above numbers important to us, other than acting as a boost guage to
entertain us? Well, as you can imagine, if you had a boost leak you would have a car that is
requesting the correct boost but you would see very little in the actual boost column. In the case that you had just installed your new boost controller or N75 valve, you may find that your actual boost is far exceeding the requested boost. The ECU will sense this as
“overboost condition”, and go into limp more.
For those of us who dare to run a turbo that was not designed specifically for the software
they are using, this is a great way to see why it is not working out for you. For example, the boost maps on a K03 will show the ECU requesting max boost at around 3000rpms (this is a small turbo that makes its boost low in the rpm range). Now if you were to throw on a Garrett gt28r or T28 turbo, you would see that the computer will still request the max boost at 3000rpm, but the turbo is not capable of making it until closer to 3800rpm, leaving you with an “underboost” condition.
Note. The sensor will only measure up to 2540mbar, including atmospheric pressure. This
means that if you are running more than 1.54bar or 21.75psi of boost, this sensor will not
measure beyond it. Both values will max out at 2540mbar.

2.7 Testing Sensors and Switches
Courtesy of jonas@TT-forum
The six simple tests in this section check the proper function of various sensors and switches. Also, basic connectivity is tested.
Before starting, the following conditions must be met:
• No DTCs
• Battery voltage at least 11.5V
• All electrical instruments switched off
• Air conditioner switched off
• Engine stopped, ignition on
• Vehicle stationary; don’t do it while driving!
WARNING! All ABS/EPS functions are deactivated while accessing the ABS/EPS
measuring blocks!
Note. If any of the checks fails, please refer to the service manual.
2.7.1 ECU Block 062 – Accelerator Pedal
The DBW accerelator pedal has two position senders, G79 and G185, in a joint
housing. The sender potentiometers are connected so that the voltage from G79
is twice the voltage from G185. The ECU converts the voltage values to
percentage values, 5V corresponding to 100%.
Enter the ECU Measuring Block 062.
Press the accelator pedal slowly. The values in fields 3 and 4 should increase
steadily. The tolerance ranges are 12% … 97% and 4% … 49%, respectively.
Check that the value in field 4 is about half of the value in field 3.
2.7.2 ECU Block 066 – Clutch and Brake Pedal Switches
The clutch pedal position is sensed by the switch F36. It provides the position
information to the ECU for avoiding speed overshoot and load change jolting on
disengaging the clutch.
The brake pedal is equipped with two switches. The first switch controls the
brake lights. The second switch provides the brake pedal position to the ECU.
Enter the ECU Measuring Block 066.
Depress the clutch pedal. Check the sixth digit in field 2. The value should
change from 0 to 1. Pump the pedal a couple of times to see that the value
follows the pedal position.
Depress the brake pedal. The seventh and eighth digits in field 2 should change
from 0 to 1. Pump the pedal a couple of times to check that the values
correspond to the pedal position.
– 20 –
2.7.3 ECU Block 056 – Steering Pressure Switch
The power steering pressure switch F88 is used for idling speed stabilization
during pressure peaks. The switch is activated when the steering is fully left or
right locked, and during rapid movements.
Enter the ECU Measuring Block 056.
Check the third digit in field 4. It should change from 0 to 1 when the steering is
locked.
2.7.4 AWD Block 001 – Brake Switches
The brake pedal sender information is transferred from the ECU to the Halder
controller via a CAN bus. The information available in the Haldex measuring
blocks should coincide with the switch positions.
Enter the AWD Measuring Block 001.
Field 1 and 2 indicate the brake light switch and handbrake switch positions,
respectively. Check that the value in field 1 changes when the brake pedal is
depressed. Check that the value in field 2 changes when the handbrake in
engaged.
2.7.5 ABS/ESP Block 003 – Brake Switches
The brake pedal sender information is transferred from the ECU to the ABS
controller via a CAN bus.
Enter the ABS Measuring Block 003.
Field 1 indicates the brake light switch position. Check that the status changes
when the brake pedal is depressed.
2.7.6 ABS/ESP Block 004 – Movement sensors
Enter the ABS Measuring Block 004.
Field 1 indicates the steering angle sender G85 position. With the vehicle moving
in straight line, the value should be within ±4.5°.
Field 2 is lateral acceleration, measured by sender G200. When the vehicle is not
moving, the value should be within ±0.5m/s2.
Field 3 is yaw rate, measured by sender G202. The value should be within
±2.5°/s when the vehicle is stationary. Negative value indicates turning right –
positive turning left.
– 21 –
2.8 Testing Lambda Control and CATs
The sequence of 10 tests in this section checks the proper function of the air mass sensor,
the catalyst, the lambda sensors, and the fuel tank breather. Running the tests regenerates
the readiness information that can be accessed in the VAG-COM function “Readiness”.
Before starting, the following conditions must be met:
• No DTCs
• Battery voltage at least 11.5V
• Coolant temperature at least 80°C
• All electrical instruments switched off
• Air conditioner switched off
• Engine stopped, ignition on
• Vehicle stationary; don’t do it while driving!
A tool for fixing the accelerator pedal position could be handy. A steady leg is also fine.
Note. According to the service manual, the following tests should be run in the specified
order.
Note. If any of the tests fails, please refer to the service manual.
2.8.1 Block 060 – Throttle Body Adaptation
Note! Be sure NOT to touch the accelerator and make sure the engine is NOT
running!
Enter the Basic Settings block 060.
Once started, you will see the rightmost field saying “ADP RUN”. The adaptation
step counter in the third field represents the adaptation status. Following adaption,
the step counter reaches the number 8, but some numbers may also be skipped.
The crucial factor is not the behaviour of the step counter (field 3) during adaption,
but rather that the specification “ADP OK” is displayed in field 4 afterwards.
2.8.2 Block 002 – Air Flow and Fuel Injection
Note! Before continuing:
• Start the engine, leave it idling
Enter the Basic Settings block 002.
Check field 3, the average injection period. The value should stay within 1.0ms …
4.0ms.
Check field 4, the air mass flow. The value should generally stay in range 2.0 …
4.5g/s. Usually, when all electric equipment is turned off, the value should be
around 3g/s.
– 22 –
2.8.3 Block 030 – Lambda Control Operating Status
Note! Before continuing:
• Adjust the engine RPM to 2000 using the handy tool, or your steady leg
Enter the Basic Settings block 030.
In block 030, the fields 1 and 2 are three-digit binary codes that give the status of
the oxygen sensors. The first digit indicates the probe heating status, the second
digit indicates the probe condition, and the third digit indicates lambda control
status. The value should fluctuate between 111 (heater on) and 011 (heater off).
The last two digits can also fluctuate between 1 and 0, but should be
predominantly 11.
Do not continue with testing until the displays have reached 111 in field 1 and
110 in field 2, at least once.
2.8.4 Block 034 – Ageing of Pre-Cat Oxygen Sensor
Enter the Basic Settings block 034.
Field 2 shows the Exhaus Gas Temperature, measured by the oxygen sensor. It
must be above 350°C for the test to succeed.
The value in field 3 is called “dynamic factor”. It is an indicator for lambda probe
ageing. The value should be above 0.5; the value for a new sensor is ~2.0. It will
decrease as the sensor ages.
The field 4 will say either ‘TEST OFF/ON’ before/while the test is running, and
either ‘B1-S1 OK’ or ‘B1-S1 NOT OK’ afterwards. It may take several minutes to
obtain result of diagnosis.
Do not continue with testing unless the field 4 is indicating “B1-S1 OK”.
2.8.5 Block 036 – Post-Cat Oxygen Sensor Diagnosis
Enter the Basic Settings block 036.
The field 2 will say either ‘TEST OFF/ON’ before/while the test is running, and
either ‘B1-S2 OK’ or ‘B1-S2 NOT OK’ afterwards. It may take several minutes to
obtain result of diagnosis.
Do not continue with testing unless the field 2 is indicating “B1-S2 OK”.
2.8.6 Block 037 – Lambda System Diagnosis
Enter the Basic Settings block 037.
The value in field 2 is the post-cat lambda probe output voltage, with range of
0.10 … 0.95V. It should remain as constant as possible. Considerable voltage
fluctuations are an indication of catalytic converter damage. A constant voltage of
0.450V is an indication of damaged wiring.
– 23 –
The third field is lambda correction value between the pre and post-cat sensors.
It should stay below 0.02.
Note. If the lambda probe voltage is OK and the lambda correction value is still
greater than 0.02, even after a test drive, this is an indication of ageing of the
lambda probe upstream of the catalytic converter.
The field 4 will say either ‘TEST OFF/ON’ before/while the test is running, and
either ‘System OK’ or ‘System NOT OK’ afterwards. It may take several minutes
to obtain result of diagnosis.
Do not continue with testing unless the field 4 is indicating “System OK”.
2.8.7 Block 043 – Ageing of Post-Cat Oxygen Sensor
Enter the Basic Settings block 043.
The field 4 will say either ‘TEST OFF/ON’ before/while the test is running, and
either ‘B1-S2 OK’ or ‘B1-S2 NOT OK’ afterwards. It may take several minutes to
obtain result of diagnosis.
Do not continue with testing unless the field 4 is indicating “B1-S2 OK”.
2.8.8 Block 046 – Catalytic Converter Diagnosis
Enter the Basic Settings block 046.
Field 2 indicates the CAT Temperature (EGT), which must be more than 320°C
for the test to start. Increase engine speed if necessary.
Field 3 is the CAT Conversion Efficiency. If the cat is good, the value should be
below 0.50 at the end of the test.
The field 4 will say either ‘TEST OFF/ON’ before/while the test is running, and
either ‘CAT B1 OK’ or ‘CAT B1 NOT OK’ afterwards.
Do not continue with testing unless the field 4 is indicating “CAT B1 OK”.
2.8.9 Block 070 – Fuel Tank Breather Valve Diagnosis
Note! Before continuing:
• Remove the accelerator tool / leg – let the engine idle
Enter the Basic Settings block 070.
Note. If the test does not start or if the display switches from “Test ON” to “Test
OFF” instantly, give a brief burst of throttle and the test will be repeated.
The field 4 will say either ‘TEST OFF/ON’ before/while the test is running, and
either ‘TBV OK’ or ‘TBV NOT OK’ afterwards.
Do not continue with testing unless the field 4 is indicating “TBV OK”.
– 24 –
2.8.10 Block 056 – Idling Speed Diagnosis
Enter the Basic Settings block 056.
Field 1 indicates the actual engine speed. Field 2 indicates the requested speed,
which is usually 760rpm, unless changed in the engine adaptation. The value can
be higher also during warmup.
Verify that the actual speed coincides with the requested speed. Turn on Air
Conditioning. After short fluctuation, the values should coincide again.
Exit the Basic Settings screen.
2.8.11 Readiness
Enter the Readiness function “15”.
All the fields should indicate “PASSED”.

Courtesy of jonas@TT-forum
A failing dashpod is one of the most common problems with TTs. The actual problem is with the fuel and temperature gauges, which can get jammed due to a design flaw. Usually the needles are showing incorrect readings, or not moving at all.
Thanks to the brave people on the TT-forum, Audi UK is now recognising the problem:
Audi Recognises that a number of fuel and temperature gauges haven’t been
working correctly, mainly on cars built up to mid-2004, when an improved
instrument panel was introduced. It has now agreed to replace units that are out
of warranty on cars up to five years old, completely free, on what it calls a ‘caseby-
case’ basis. Better still, anyone who has already paid for a new dashpod will
also be ‘treated sympathetically on a case-by-case basis’.
To verify that the problem is actually with the dashpod, and not with any of the senders, there are a couple of easy checks to perform.
2.9.1 Coolant Temp on the CC Display
The temperature gauge can be checked against the actual coolant temperature
reading on the CC display, using the code 49. To access the CC codes, see
section 2.2, Climate Control Diagnosis Codes.
The temp gauge should be indicating the exact temperature, when the coolant
temperature is within 50…80°C or 110…130°C. When the temperature is in the
normal operating range of 80…110°C, the needle should be sticking to 90°C.
– 26 –
2.9.2 Fuel Level and Coolant Temp in VAG-COM
The fuel and temp gauge readings can be also checked against the fuel level and
the coolant temperature values in VAG-COM. To enter the measuring block,
select Instruments, then hit Meas. Blocks – 08:
Too see the fuel level, enter 002 in the Group box and hit Go!. For the
temperature, enter 003 in another group box.
If the values do not match with the gauge readings, the gauges are faulty.
– 27 –
2.9.3 Dashpod Self-Diagnosis
It is also possible to run a self-diagnostic check with the dashpod. The diagnosis
function will actuate five control elements in the dashpod in sequence.
To start the sequence, enter Instruments, then select Output Tests – 03, and
finally press Start / Next.
1. Analog gauge sweep. The full range of the analog gauges is tested. Then the
following fixed values will be displayed: 90°C, 1/2 fuel, 3000rpm, 62mph. Now, check
that the fuel and temp gauges are showing these values!
2. Warning lamp test. Lamps are lid (not all, though).
3. Gong sound test.
– 28 –
4. Display segment test. All segments on all displays are lid.
5. Illumination test. The illumination switches to dark, brightens, then dims down
again, and finally switches back to the original brightness.
Obviously, all the tests should perform the described functionality; especially the
gauges should be moving freely and showing correct values.

3. TWEAKING
3.1 Changing Temperature Display – Celcius / Fahrenheit
Courtesy of Waks Wide Web
The temperature on the climate control and on the dash computer can be easily changed
between Celcius and Fahrenheit:
1. Press and hold the recirculation button
2. Twist the temperature up to switch between degrees Celsius / Fahrenheit
3. When satisfied, let go the recirculation button
Enjoy the more familiar readings!
3.2 Xenon Adjustment
Courtesy of TTinTO on AudiWorld and Ross-Tech wiki
When I recently took delivery of my ’03 A4 Avant 1.8T, I noticed that the headlights were
aimed too low. Foreground illumination was excellent; however I was having difficulty picking out signs further down the road. They were certainly not aimed as optimally as the Xenons on my TT (after several trips to the dealer to get it right).
When I parked the A4 alongside the wall of an industrial building at night, a sharp downwards slope was evident. The lights were aimed approximately 20-30 degrees from horizontal, too low for my taste.
Here is the procedure to adjust the vertical aim of OEM Xenons:
1. Park the car on a level surface, 10 to 20 feet from a wall if possible. Connect the
VAG-COM as usual, with both ignition and xenons on.
2. Select control module “55” Light Range. This is somewhat hidden under “Less
Common Modules”.
3. Take note of the value in the Soft Coding cell. This is the headlight level as set by the
dealer when they performed the PDI. If you manage to muck things up you can
always go back to this default value.
4. Click on “07 Recode” and you will be able to modify this soft coding value. A smaller
value aims the ights higher, and lower value aims the lights lower. Click on “Do it!” to
see the lights move up or down.
5. Don’t over do it. I suggest that you choose a value that still has a gentle downwards
slope to avoid blinding other people on the road. I changed my original value from
00060 to 00020 and it’s perfect.
6. Now you need to recalibrate the self-leveling reference point, or else you will throw a
code the next time you start the car.
7. To do this, select “04 Basic Settings” and scroll up to “Group 001”. In a few seconds
the first cell will change from “wait” to “set”. Now scroll to “Group 002” and wait until
the controller says “Learned”.
I can confirm that this tweak works on a ’01 TT 225 and ’03 A4 Avant 1.8T. Although I have not tested it, this should work on all current Audi cars with OEM self-levelling Xenon lights.
Enjoy your improved visibility!

Previous discussions have mentioned how some dash pods had different illuminations and
consensus was that Audi changed pod models. The pod illumination is in fact customisable;
you can set it to a number of settings when the ignition is on and the lights off:
1. All off
2. Pointers Lit all the time
3. Scales Lit all the time
4. Pointers & Scales Lit all the time
By default my pointers were lit all the time, but recently I found that when wearing sun
glasses or going through a tunnel having the scales lit as well makes them much easier to
read and being able to set this is very useful.
Always note down the original setting of anything you do and if you are not confident with
what you are doing then just don’t do it. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
1. In “17” for the Instruments, select “10″ Adaptation
2. Read channel “19”
– 31 –
3. Change the first digit (fifth counting from right) of the value in that channel to correspond to the mode you desire. There are four lighting modes:
Mode 0: Nothing lit until ext. light on
Mode 1: Pointers lit all the time
Mode 2: Scales lit all the time
Mode 3: Pointers and Scales lit all the time
4. TEST the new value, 30010 in this case:
5. If you’re satisfied with the results, hit Save.

If your fuel gauge is not exactly spot on, here are the instructions to fix it.
The fuel level sender in the fuel tank is directly connected to the dashpod that measures the resistance of the sender. The resistance value is then converted to the estimated fuel level, which is finally indicated on the fuel gauge. If the gauge does not correspond to the actual fuel level, it is possible to adjust the resistance conversion curve.
The dashpod Adaptation Channel 30 accepts values 120 … 136, corresponding to -2l … +2l
adjustment range to the fuel level. An adjustment of 4 equals 1l. Value 128 corresponds to
no adjustment, which is the default.
It is strongly adviced to only adjust the empty tank range of the gauge. It should not really
matter whether your gauge is showing exactly full tank after fillup, but it is essential the
gauge is indicating empty when you are running on vapours!
To perform the adjustment:
1. In “17” for the Instruments, select “10″ Adaptation
2. Read channel 30
3. Enter the new value, always 5 digits, prefixed with zeros. For example, enter 00124 to
do -1l adjustment
4. Test the new value
5. If you’re satisfied with the results, hit “Save”

3.5 Key Fob Recoding
Courtesy of Waks Wide Web, Chip_iTT & jonas on TT-forum
These instructions allow you to reprogram the remote locking function on your “switchblade” key fob. This does NOT reprogram the immobiliser or anything related to the ECU/Dashpod or the key blade itself – only VAG can do that. This only relates to the remote locking system.
The remote uses a rotating pseudo-random code security system, which relies on both the
car and the key fob knowing the next few numbers in the sequence of just over 16000
numbers. If you press the key out of range too often they get out of step. This process gets
them back in step again by resetting the sequence. It relies on you being able to open the car with the key in order to prove that the keyblade and the car are related.
The Central Locking controller unit has four “memory slots” for storing the key security codes.
When recoding a new key, you need to know which slot is empty. When recoding an existing key, you need to know the exact slot the key is occupying. This information is available in the Central Locking measuring blocks.
Fortunately, it is possible to recode the keys without VAG-COM, if you recode them all at the same time. You will need all your “switchblade” keys, and the plastic master key (can do without, but requires more work).
1. Number the keys; which one is first, second, third, and fouth
2. Put the plastic master key in the ignition. Turn it one click forward
3. Open the window (precaution)
4. Close and lock the driver’s door with the key to program (by twisting the key). Leave
the key in the lock
5. On the key to program, press the ‘UNLOCK’ button – for the first key press once, for
the second key press twice within less than 5 seconds, etc. The lights will flash on the
car, but the doors will remain locked
6. With the key still in the drivers door – unlock then lock the door again (by twisting the
key)
7. Pull the key from the lock and test remote functions
8. Repeat from 4 with the other keys
9. Open drivers door, remove the master key from ignition

3.6 CENTRAL LOCKING…35Central Locking
Courtesy of Waks Wide Web
A number of features of the central locking are not promoted by the dealers but are very
useful to have and make ownership more pleasurable and safer.
The features control these four main functions:
1. Windows open/close – The comfort feature allowing windows to be opened or closed
by holding the lock/unlock on the key fob.
2. Autolock – The car will lock when you reach 15km/h and unlock when you pull the key
from the ignition
3. Alarm confirmation beep – a very subtle beep when the alarm is correctly armed, a
small honk if you have a euro/US spec alarm
4. Double press unlock – the drivers door only will unlock on the first press of the
remote, 2nd press will unlock both doors.
Why would you want these features:
• Opening the Windows when you have squeezed the remote in your pocket and are
out of sight of the car can be avoided
• An anti car jacking feature to help ensure your door cant be opened at junctions and
traffic lights
• The alarm may not arm depending on certain conditions, when you are used to the
beep, this is more apparent usually a repeat unlocking and locking will arm the car
properly and the beep is an additional confirmation for you.
• Another anti car jacking feature to only unlock the driver’s door and avoid anyone
jumping into the passenger seat whilst you are getting into the car.
In “35” Central locking, the “Soft. Coding” field contains the information, 07918 in this case:
The software coding can simply be entered and decoded visually with a clever program
called BaseCode, available on Kev’s site.
To display the currently selected options, simply select or deselect the required settings and the New Base Code window will show the new value.
– 35 –
Select “07” Recode on Vagcom and the following window will be displayed
Replace the 07918 software coding with the new value (7854 example), leave the workshop code alone and click “Do It!”.
Exit VAG-COM, switch the ignition off and test the selected features.
For complete list of the encoding values, see section 4.12.

3.7 Lemmiwinks
The TT ECU has 14 adaptation channels – engine parameters – that can be tuned with VAGCOM. However, some of the channels are read-only, and for the rest the accepted value range is very limited. Lemmiwinks is a program that can tweak the channels without
limitations.
WARNING! You should not even consider using this software if you are not familiar with the engine management and VAG-COM data logging. Without verifying the results in VAG-COM you are most likely going to destroy your engine!
Courtesy of 27psiBoom on VWvortex forum
3.7.1 How it works
Adaptation channels making minor tweaks to engine operating parameters (e.g. engine idle
speed adjustment). These settings can be modified using the dealer’s diagnostic equipment
or VAG-COM.
These settings are stored in a serial eeprom which means the settings will not be lost if the
ECU loses power. This is the same eeprom that stores data that can change from time to
time like diagnostic trouble codes. This serial eeprom is different from the flash memory chip that stores the main engine control program, and therefore changes made to adaptation channels will not affect code checksums.
As an example, let us take a TT owner who is happy with the performance of his engine but would like to have his speed limiter raised. There is an adaptation channel that can be used to raise or lower the speed limiter setting, and if there were a way to change this adaptation channel then there would be no need for this owner to even buy a chip. He would be able to continue running with bone stock ECU programming with no worries about a dealership detecting a chip (since there is no chip), and if he were particularly worried he would simply restore the default factory setting before bringing the car in for service.
– 37 –
So, he connects to his ECU with VAG-COM, goes to adaptation channel 7, and tries raising
the speed limiter. But it doesn’t work: the commands that request the setting of new
adaptation channel values have built in limit checks and reject the new values. In this
particular case, the speed limiter related adaptation channel is effectively disabled since the stock ECU programming limits the control range so that the only valid value is zero (i.e. no change).
So the issue boils down to this: is it possible to change these adaptation channels in such a
manner that the original factory limits are bypassed? There are two possible approaches.
First, one can make a chip with the preset adaptation channel limits extended to allow a
larger adjustment range. Second, one can bypass the VAG adaptation channel routines and
directly place the new adaptation channel settings into the ECU.
Changing the preset adaptation channel limits in a chip is the only option for VAG group
diesel ECUs, Magneti Marelli ECUs, and older Bosch ECUs. These codes check the
adaptation channel limits after the values have been read out of the serial eeprom. Motronic 7 ECUs do not do this check which opens up the second method.
Directly transferring the new adaptation channel values into the ECU works by finding the
RAM memory location where the ECU stores the adaptation channel data and directly writing the changes to those RAM memory locations. When the ignition key is turned off the ECU enters a housekeeping mode where among other tasks the modified adaptation channel data is written into the serial eeprom. This roundabout method is required because memory writes directly to the serial eeprom are blocked.
Interestingly, this method will not work using the VAG mode protocol. Write access is allowed to any ECU RAM location except those locations that store the serial eeprom data. Someone at Bosch clearly knew about this vulnerability and took measures to close this loophole. But for some reason this loophole was left in the KWP2000 routines.
Each ECU code stores this adaptation channel data in different RAM locations. To make this method work with any ECU one runs through the following steps:
1) Establish communications with the ECU using KWP2000 mode;
2) Read data directly from serial eeprom (since read access is allowed);
3) Search for this data in the ECU’s RAM;
4) Write the new adaptation channel settings to the RAM location;
5) Cycle ECU power (turn off ignition) to have ECU transfer the new settings into the serial
eeprom.
The KWP2000 protocol is not as reliable as the VAG protocol. Some cars will have
communications problems, which often can be worked around by pulling the instrument
cluster fuse (make sure VAG-COM will be able to clear you air bag DTC light before doing
this!).
Using the KWP2000 protocol gives one the ability to change settings in any VAG Motronic 7 ECU regardless of whether the ECU is stock or chipped.

3.7.2 How to use
1. Attach VAG-COM cable
2. Turn on ignition
3. Bring up Lemmiwinks software
4. To read the current settings from the ECU, click “Read”
5. Adjust settings at will
6. Click ‘SET’ to connect to the ECU and apply new settings
7. When asked to cycle ECU, simply turn off ignition, later turn on
8. To close the software, click ‘OK’
9. Enjoy
If you can’t establish communication with the ECU, take off your Instrument Cluster fuse 11.
3.7.3 ECU Adaptation Channels
This lists all Bosch Motronic 7 adaptation channels with a typical factory VAG
control range and the maximum possible control range if one were to directly
write changes to the serial eeprom.
3.7.3.1 Channel 1: Additive Engine Idle Speed Offset
This channel adjusts the engine idle speed in steps of 10 rpm.
Base value: 760 rpm
VAG control range: -50 rpm … +50 rpm
Lemmiwinks control range: -1280 rpm … +1270 rpm
3.7.3.2 Channel 2: Fuel Enrichment on Increasing Loads
This channel adjusts a fuel enrichment term that is proportional to load rate of
change. It acts to enrich fuel when the engine load is increasing. This is
equivalent to an accelerator pump function.
VAG control range: 100% … 110%
Lemmiwinks control range: 0% … 200%
3.7.3.3 Channel 3: Fuel enrichment on Decreasing Loads
This is very similar in function to channel 2, but adjusts a term that works to
increase fuel when engine load is decreasing. This is also equivalent to an
accelerator pump function.
VAG control range: 90% … 100%
Lemmiwinks control range: 0% … 200%
3.7.3.4 Channel 4: Startup Fuel Enrichment
This adjusts the startup fuel enrichment term.
VAG control range: 100% … 110%
Lemmiwinks control range: 0% … 200%
– 39 –
3.7.3.5 Channel 5: Warmup Fuel Enrichment
This adjusts the warmup fuel enrichment term.
Presumably the ECU uses this setting when the temperature needle is showing
below 90C, which roughly equals coolant temperatures below 82C.
VAG control range: 90% … 100%
Lemmiwinks control range: 0% … 200%
3.7.3.6 Channel 6: Lambda Regulation Cycle
This tweaks a lambda regulation system’s oxygen sensor cycle time in steps of
10 milliseconds.
VAG control range: -100ms … +100ms
Lemmiwinks control range: -1280ms … +1270ms
3.7.3.7 Channel 7: Additive Offset on Speed Limiter
This adjusts the speed limiter in steps of 1 km/h.
Base balue: 250km/h or 155MPH
VAG control range: none
Lemmiwinks control range: -128km/h … +127km/h
3.7.3.8 Channel 8: Secondary Fuel Tweak
This adjusts the fueling; presumably how fast the injectors react, by changing the
pulse-width as a function of gross changes in the airflow. Higher values smooth
out boost onset during part throttle. This parameter is useful if you are running
uprated injectors.
This parameter does not have much effect on the fuel trims, at least in range
100%-120%. However, some people are reporting lower mpg with values over
130%.
VAG control range: 100% … 110%
Lemmiwinks control range: 0% … 200%
3.7.3.9 Channel 9: Ignition Timing Angle Offset
This allows shifting the ignition timing angle up or down in steps of 0.75 degrees.
Negative values retard ignition, positive values advance.
Warning! This is the most dangerous parameter in Lemmiwinks. If adjusting at
all, start carefully. Proceed with 0.75 steps, checking all relevant engine
parameters with VAG-COM after every change.
VAG control range: none
Lemmiwinks control range: -96 deg … +95.25 deg
– 40 –
3.7.3.10 Channel 10: Primary Fuel Term
This parameter adjusts the multiplicative fuel trim. Note that the ECU will
compensate idle and part throttle for stoich, so this parameter only sets the
starting point – the offset – for the trim (second field in Block 032). It is useful if the
trim would otherwise be out of scale, causing CEL.
Note that this parameter allows tuning the fueling in steps of 0.125%. The ECU,
on the other hand, can only adjust fueling in steps of 0.8%
VAG control range: none
Lemmiwinks control range: -25.0% … +24.8%
3.7.3.11 Channel 11: Unused
Unused in the TT ECU.
VAG control range: none
Lemmiwinks control range: -128 … +127
3.7.3.12 Channel 12: Specified Engine Load Scaling Factor
This factor allows one to scale the specified engine load.
The default value comes set at the maximum value, so specified engine loads
can only be reduced with this adaptation channel.
VAG control range: always 100% (no adjustment)
Lemmiwinks control range: 0% … 100%
3.7.3.13 Channel 13: Control Bits
These control bits affect engine idle control. So far, no specific information is
available.
VAG control range: Limited to 2 control bits
Lemmiwinks control range: All 8 control bits can be set or cleared
3.7.3.14 Channel 14: Additive Offset to Idle Torque
This channel allows one to raise the minimum torque maintained at idle.
VAG control range: 0 … 31 (unknown units)
Lemmiwinks control range: 0 … 255

Hi I have a 02 TT and lately it won’t spark to turn over. The battery is new last year and the shop put in a new alternator yesterday and today it wouldn’t turn over 3 times. Once I pushed the gas pedal to the floor and it started and the other 2 times I hooked jumper cables to it and it turned over. Any hints? Please email me response
