after the 32 recode you will turn on the gear hold selection. this is already turned on in the program but you need the 32 in the adaption to take advantage of it. lastly remember there is still the learning patterns that the tcu will go threw. my program took about 1 week before it settled in just the way I liked it. I thought this was a nice touch to the file as it helps further tailor the file to the driver.

the best part is you have ko4's ask prince about there tuning for that as well. they have some of the fastest A6's on ko4's there are. if you thought there tip software was good there tuning for the ecu is just as good.

 

The learn feature is definitely a great thing to extend. But you definitely need to know that the car will adapt over the next week or so. I would drive the car for about a week before you worry about how the car down shifts.

 

ok so all i did was program the code to 00032 and it is a little rocky downshifting ...

what else do i need to do other then drive it for a week

also my screen in between the speedo and tach flashed from PRND432 to 12345 randomly ... i have the s-line a6 so my screen used to say PRNDS and when i put it in "S" it is now in "4" and wont shift through all 5 gears? o well ill live with that if i have to but is the flashing back and fourth between PRND432 and 12345 normal??

 

It sounds like your trans is loading the prnd4 instead of the prnds. I would let prince know about this as he can change it to what ever you wish it to say. He can make the PRNDS say your name if you wish. Also as for the switching between the 1234 and the PRND check your codes you might have needed to clear out the TCU. also the car dose go threw all the gears but it doesn't feel like it due to the new TQ converter scheem. I thought this as well but you can look in vag and see the trans shifting gears.

 

how do i clear out the tcu ... do you think that it is fine to leave it as PRND432 or should i send it back and have PRNDS put back on?

thanks in advance

 

things arent going so great ... im getting another file on monday in the mail and then somehow loading it (PITA) so we will see what happens after that

 

That is one of the great things about the guys at VAST they are not going to rest until you are 100% happy. They don't just take your money and run if you have the littlest thing you are looking for they will make sure they can do it for you.


The file is easy to install. I was A PITA with my wife's S8 I wanted it to shift harder then softer then WAY harder they never complained once they even sent a file to me in Florida when I was on vacation with my wife (even tho I live just a few miles away from them

 

well i hope this fixes things because i love the chip my car is so much faster but i have irratic shifting whenever the trans feels like it and also its switching from drive to tip mode randomly and then back again still !!

 

what should my trans code be ... 00032 or 01032? please let me know so i can code the correct one
