Perfect... thanks so much!
Here's my file...
Yeah I'm about 80% sure it's controlled by the engine ECU but without HP supporting it, I don't think much can be done.
I submitted a support ticket to HP months (years?) ago asking about this (on a C7 A6 with the 3.0t engine), they said they'd look into it, but I never heard back. :^(
Hey there are hopefully others that know more than I do on this subject but let me toss out an idea: at the speed in question, could the torque converter be locked in 7th and slipping in 8th? It's...
It means 6 more... 10 total to do both engine and trans.
Kind of along the same lines... has anyone figured out how to make the transmission (in manual mode) start from a standstill in a gear other than first?
For me at least, the ability to start off...
As far as selling goes, you need to buy the MPVI2 interface, and enough credits to at least tune your transmission. Unless your engine is already tuned I'd highly recommend buying enough credits to...
I think it's basically the input shaft speed for the transmission, after the torque converter.
If the torque converter clutch is locked it will be very close to crankshaft RPM. If the clutch is...
This probably doesn't help much but in my experience there are two options for this, and I'm not sure what the difference is... maybe someone from HP can explain?
When I first got the HP setup, I...
HP almost never responds to requests to add vehicles in the forum. Best bet is to email support with the specifics of your car. I think if you connect an interface to the car, go into scanner or...
Doh... I guess that would explain it!
:(
Seems like they haven't added it for all variants. I just opened the files for my '12 A4 and my '14 A6 and that parameter is not available for either.
Here's a stock file from a '12 A4q, also with the ZF8.
Did you update the transmission software yourself or was it done by a dealer?
At least on my Audis ('12 A4 and '14 A6), that functionality is enabled/disabled via a transmission adaptation value...
I don't know much about tuning Golfs, but there's an easy way to tell if the engine-management is torque-based or not: open the hood and look at the throttle body. If it's mechanical (operated by a...
Well just my opinion... coming from the Megasquirt world and DIY tuning of a few older cars, I found the current stuff to be about 10x harder. But it's not impossible... with a lot of help from...
And more specifically, AFAIK you won't be able to view tunes from any VAG vehicles without an interface, so you will not be able to see what you can change on your car.
You may have to contact HP support and see if they can add your gearbox. While a lot of the ZF8 transmissions in Audis are the same (or darn near the same) mechanically, there are a lot of different...
Hey... out of curiosity what computer are you using to drive that display and how are you doing the graphics?
I've been fooling around with getting a Raspberry Pi to drive the OE MMI display, and...
Hey for anyone else experiencing this problem... I did a lot of looking around and I guess these engines are notorious for being difficult to get the evap readiness flag set.
I finally posted...
Sorry for the slow reply, things have been crazy lately!
Re the ECM being back to stock, I used the "restore OE tune" (or whatever it's called) function in VCM editor. Re codes, initially the car...
Yeah it's amazing all the stupid problems these engines have. They're great when they work but.... ugh.
I still haven't checked the screen on my '12 A4... need to find the time to do that. Then...
Oh man... these engines are notorious for timing chain tensioner failures... were you aware of that? Had the tensioner ever been replaced? I'm guessing probably not. You can read all about that...
So an update... have driven the car a number of times both locally and on highway (mostly the former), fuel in tank is at about 60% (per VCDS), maybe 10 cold starts, have reverted to stock tune so...
