Hi, it's been a while since I posted on Audi-Sport, and first time in the A4 forum (I had an A3 quattro untill recently, but somebody crashed into it, and wrote it off...)
So, I'm now the proud owner of an A4 B6 1.8T Sport quattro (2001 - 51 plate) and have been eagerly reading about all the mods I can do.
The first one I've tried is the retrofit DIS (no cruise, just DIS). I've read all of the guides, and felt confident fitting the stalk etc, which I did today. I've just come to the coding part, and I've done the steering angle sensor reset, and recoded the steering wheel (16 on VAGCOM) using the coding help on the VAG COM in conjunction with my existing code. I've also attempted to code Section 17, the instruments, again adapting according to my existing code and the help on VAG COM and on here. I get a small '2' on the central display which seems to indicate DIS is activated. but the stalk doesn't do anything and the display stays on fuel range.
Now, I've rechecked the instructions, but I could be reading them wrong! I feel so close to getting it sorted, but I'm suspecting my Steering Control Module might be incompatible. Mine is a 8E0 953 549 F, I'm not sure that's compatible? Do I need an 'N' module? I checked with the Audi parts guy when I was ordering the stalk as to what was already fitted, but now understand that his list of parts vs my reg number are current part numbers, not necessarily what's fitted!
Any ideas anybody? If you need me to scan anything else, or need more info, then please ask.
EDIT: I should add the only fault code I can see is one relating to the wiper stalk being faulty, I clear it but it comes back. It;s a new stalk from the dealer.
