Interesting. That was the advice I was give by a VW Dealer Service Manager... I will have a look with VCDS tomorrow...this has me very interested..

Thanks

The Throttle pedal thing is doing something for I have noticed a difference every time after I have done it. I know on my Ex's Passat it made it more driveable after it was done the way described in post. It was not imagined either. Her car had a very dead feel to it when you went to punch it to pull out. After I did the pedal reset it drove differently and was better off the line.

 

Wow – this thread was so awesome.
Had a cold spell here mid December. Temperature went to -35degC for a few days and killed the battery. Attempting to start was an orchestra of an electrical seizure. Performed a battery charge, Teg started and off we went. Since then, the engine was revving higher than usual and the transmission felt like a slush-box.
Saw your post and = light bulb. Used the VCDS to reset the transmission = bingo. Performing perfectly as original.
…. Just awesome!

 

My friend that works at dealer said that there is also a learning routine that includes brakings to stop and steady speed driving, but all those requirements fill while normal driving over time, just bit more slowely.

That throttle pedal trick is for kickdown and throttle valve resetting.
Probably something else too for engine ecu.

 

У моего Golf 4 определенно была реакция, я поворачивал ключ и нажимал педаль газа до упора в течение 20 секунд, выключал его через 20 секунд и затем заводил машину! Это была совершенно другая машина после этой процедуры.

 

If you have any more information like this please feel free to post it. You never stop learning stuff about these cars, and I tend to find that everybody has part of the story but few have to full picture.

If you have any more info on any learning procedures I for one would be keen to find out.

Engine control unit can be reset the sameway, just cant remember if the channel was 001 also there. It might have been also 002 or 003. Vcds tells you to press brake and throttle pedal to reset.

I worked at the dealer bodyshop seven years before. There friends at vw and audi service told me some usefull stuff.

 

My info on this came from a Touareg technician.

Seems to do something as a number of folk with dodgy gear changes have benefited from it over the years!

 

Didnt fix the weird double shift from 3 to 4 in mine. Does that only between 2-3k revs and only on d and s, not on manual shifting. Starting to suspect it is related to some engine problem like dirty maf or bad map or temp sensor.
Atleast helped after trans oil flush.

 

hi, im having some issues with the reset.

What are the prerequisites for the reset
ignition on
engine off
car in park

am i missing anything ?

 

Ignition on, but do not start the engine.

Press the accelerator pedal firmly to the floor and hold it there for a full 10 seconds.

Release the pedal.

Turn the ignition off and remove the key.


Now go outside, do a handstand and shout rude words at your neighbours!

 

Has anyone else actually done the reset procedure as described in OP?

I don't recall ever seeing anyone post that they had done so.


Part of the process is to check using VCDS or similar for any gearbox faults before the "standing on your head and shouting rude words at the neighbours" bit but as most folk don't have VCDS, and the reset seems to work regardless, I stopped typing that part of the process!

 

Cheers,
i followed the procedure yesterday and even used my best German vocab "Arschloch" etc
Didn't see a whole lot of improvement in the shifting but i did get a EPC light on the dash and code P0571.
time to order a brake switch and see if the issues are linked.

 

I'm curious to know how frequently the adaptive behavior will change. I went on a 6 hour roadtrip and at some point I noticed the pedal/RPM response definitely changed. I had to push the pedal further in to accelerate than before I left (not a bad thing on the highway). However you get to stop and go traffic and it absolutely blows and it didn't know what gear to be in or how to downshift cleanly. A day or two later of city driving and it seems to have changed back to before. So is it based on average number of shift points? Miles?

 

My "new" 2016 had 1000 miles on the clock has a different shift program than my 2012 had. Transmission holds gears longer when cold and wants to down shift whenever I give the car a modest power call. It doesn't allow the torque of this engine to push the power request. Un necessary shifting down in my opinion. The beauty of a TDI is it's low end power and pulling capability that is lost in this shifting program. I will use it a while longer to see if this changes as I use it.

 

Tadpole, find user yrktreg and get his trans recode done on your Treg. You’ll get back what your earlier model has. Highly recommend. I met him last week to have this done on mine

 

Does that override the adaptive behavior for good?

 

Is this for TDI's only or can it be used for the V6?

 

Post your VCDS autoscan.

 

Brake switch in & after 150 ish Km it Seems a lot better.
Cheers !

 

Good evening.i have just purchased a second hand towrag 2008 model 2.5 diesel I believe its the R5 engine. I seem to notice a bit of snatching what I mean by snatching the revs suddenly dip and then come back up while I'm driving around 30mph. I don't really notice it above this speed (motorway driving) I was wondering if any one else experienced this problem. The car will be going to see a VW specialist (A friend) and a vag com will be used to scan the ECU. But in the mean time I was just wondering if anyone can shed any light on this problem.


Regards Kiefer.

 

Manual or automatic?

Do read this thread to get up to speed on your new to you R5.

It will probably save you money at some stage!

Buying a Used Touareg - What to look for ????

There have been a number of requests from new members asking what to look for when buying a used Treg. I thought it may be useful to gather all the info into one post which could perhaps be pinned. I've prepared a draft below. I wonder if the regs could suggest any amendments or additions, I'm...

Hi, can you post a video how you do the process on VCDS please? For us newbies 🤪

 

You don't need a video!

Turn the ignition in but do NOT start the car.

Press the accelerator pedal firmly to the floor and hold it there for a full 10 seeconds.

Now release the pedal and turn the ignition off.

 

Hi , I was asking the VCDS video , 🤪 many thanks

 

What about this?

 

What about this?

Yeah I saw this , did you ever did it ? Thanks

 

I have a 2007 V10 TDI that was making scary clunky noises up shifting while going up inclines on highways.

I got the engine fault warning.

I used this reset function and it worked like a dream!

 

I cross to this post and it DID! My transmission performance went way good with new fluid/filter. Thanks for tip!

 

Should I do the trans reset after oil change? Or not if I'm ok with the transmission shifting.
