Hi Folks,
I'm picking up my new Audi A4 3.0 TDI Quattro in T-13 days and cannot wait, and have spent the last weeks looking through the forums and picking up valuable info on remapping, upgrades and mods,
I have contacted the dealer/stealer and have asked him to enable the needle sweep function, believe it or not, he has agreed to do it, although they don't have the full code, I have found many threads on using the VAG COM cable and instructions to do it by a DIY'er,
The dealer has told me that they don't use the VAG COM cable and diagnostic system, but if I could find him the full correct Audi code, that they would indeed do this for me,
This is the instructions I have found for the VAG COM:Enable Gauge Test/Needle Sweep [17 - Instruments] [Coding - 07] -> Long Coding Helper -> Byte 1 Bit 0 - Check the box for "Gauge Test/Needle Sweep active"
Am I being fed a little white lie to stop them from doing it, as it is apparent on the forums that they don't seem very willing to do this even tho it is possible on all A4 B8's, or does anybody know the correct Audi code to enable it not using the VAG COM,
Apologies in advance if this question has been asked many times before, I have scrolled the forums to no avail before asking,
Many thanks for any info, (would be nice to see that needle sweep when i plug that key in for the very first time, on my very first Audi)
