How accurate are vag-com power runs?Cheers Andy

depends a bit. Mine was reading 150hp last time I checked.
It's easier to log block 2 and divide the airflow in g/s by aprox 0.7 to get bhp

Can you explain this a little more. How do you do a power run? I'm not familiar with that part of the software, and it sounds like I should be!

U log block 005.

This will give you power at the fly. Where as Vag-com gives you power at the wheels.

Hi Guys,

I am new to this and have just bought my first OBD II connector.
Its not the Dual-k line version as my Audi A3 1.8T is a 98 mdl!
I will be running VAG-COM 311.2

I feel like a bimbo but were do i start to get to log the BHP from my car? Log 005? how do i get to that part to do that?
Do i start with the "Select" button then in the second screen select the "engine button"
Sorry but first time i use this software.

Any pointers?

Cheers

Cheers Gambba, everything makes a lot more sense now! I think I'll do it tonight, hehe.

I think that it only works if your car is drive by wire. So it wont work on early models.

cheers
