Nice one Ian! :-) As a caveat for early model Mk2 TT owners, not all years will have these options available. Early TT Mk2 models have very few optional code changes simply because VAG didn't included them in the factory build. Also, depending on the factory equipment that came with your vehicle, some code changes may or may not be possible. For example - if you have the RNS-E SatNav head unit it is possible to retrofit a reverse or back-up camera by changing the code settings so you can display the reverse image on the screen. However vehicles that were factory fitted with the Concert or Symphony head units will probably not have this option. Once you run your first Auto Scan, only those addresses and features which are present in your vehicle will be displayed. From there you can determine which Adaptations or Basic settings and re-code options are possible. One other suggestion is to always run the Auto Scan and print out your OEM code settings BEFORE making any changes. Once you change them, there's no "undo" so you need to know how your car was coded BEFORE you make any changes so you can easily change it back if something goes wrong.
hello Ian thank you for your videos i have watched almost all of them, i recently changed my paddle shifters on my Audi tt mk2 2008 i had to unplug the air bag to get to them, i also followed DR.Sunka on youtube steps for getting to the paddle shifters. everything worked fine, no crazy lights however the 1 thing that i noticed was that my AIR BAG and PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF lights are both on. just wanted to ask how much trouble am i in? i dont know how to code or do the VCDS stuff. i was wondering if there is an easy fix or if the car thinks i was in an accident.
@@adrianvilch5616 ahhh you must have powered up the car with airbags unplugged. You'll just need to clear the codes wth VCDS and problem solved. Thanks for watching 🙏
i actually didnt , i unpluugged airbag>put in new paddle shifters>plugged everything back up THEN started the car, but im not sure what happened. do you have any videos on how to do the VCDS im assuming i have to plug it into the car. thanks
Very useful Ian, thanks for sharing. Dont suppose you came across any settings for disabling tail light bulb check or anything like that for LED retrofits? I got a theory I want to test out.
Hi Ian, fantastic video again, Enjoyed the 3.6 build from start to finish. Do I need a VCDS as I am having an error code from front left indicator bulb 01493 despite changing the bulb, and it is very hot when you remove it. I'm at a loss. Any help/advice would be most welcome.
@@ianpgonzaga Thank you for replying back. All grounded correct. I've ordered a bulb directly from my Audi dealer. I'll collect it today and finger's crossed, it's just the bulb. 🤞🏻.
hi, I have a my11 tts without boost and oil temperature and also turbo pressure; Could you report the coding I should try? I didn't quite understand the video, so I ask you to provide me with the coding
Oh yeah. I didn't cover this in the video. You actually need to do this via a different way which is not just coding adjustment and requires a different tool like VAS or VCP.
@@giuseppearmranrandone5726 oh. LOL. VCDS is easy. I have never used VCP so I can't help there. Should be some info in the UK TT forum for this mod. Search for MT-V6 posts.
25:32 "Stationary cornering lamp - not sire what that is but it doesn't seem to have done anything" That's because you didn't turn the steering wheel when it was switched on - I think it should turn on the foglight on side your steering to... whilst stationary ;)
Yeah this is active on slow turning. It’s not very obvious on the TT from the driver’s view as it is in other cars in this platform (Passat and Octavia have a very prominent effect with this turned on)
Hi thanks for the video, it is very informative!:) I have an Audi TT 8J ‘07 and wanted to ask can I use soft coding on module 3 (ABS) to turn ESP always off with VCDS as car is only for track? Currently soft code shows 0017424. Also on top it shows 8J0614517 ESP MK60E1 0130. Any tips would be very welcome:)
Sorry to say but “no” is the answer. You will probably want to speak to a tuner about doing this. I found that changing ABS coding that there is no VCDS enabled option for this. Here is a video where I play around in abs coding but you can see there aren’t any options for permanent off of ESP. th-cam.com/video/am8f90roNrY/w-d-xo.html The manual method (hold the button) is the main feature from factory to turn it “off”.
Perfect video, these tricks are awesome , i hope everything like these modules will saw us to learn! Thank you!
Thanks Jim! Heaps more tricks and mods in my channel.

@@adrianvilch5616 I don't have one for reset airbag light. But it's quite simple. Just follow the menus for airbaga and then clear the code.

Hello. They would probably be the cold diagnosis CHeckboxes in the central electrics control module / body control module.

Thanks Alex 😄
that kinda sounds like a wiring issue - maybe a bad ground? Also make sure it's not an LED bulb. Our cars don't play nice with those.

Hi! Nice video… but which kind of display you have mounted in the dash? Can you give me some information? Thanks a lot! 😁
That is ColourMFA. I'm pretty sure i have a link/card for it in this video or you can search in TH-cam for colourmfa
Or watch this
th-cam.com/video/rJDiuX2uEXs/w-d-xo.html
Nice! Where I can contact you? You sell it?
Would this work on mk4 as well?
Hey @Javid which part are you talking about ?
@@ianpgonzaga needle sweeping, boost gauge, accurate coolant temp, voltage
@@javidgunraj1500 needle sweep yes. Depending on your cluster.
The rest. No. Unless you upgrade to ColourMFA or 3dcolournfd.
Nice video... where is the setting to turn on the boost gauge?
Turn on lap timer = boost and oil too.
I have the laptimer on my tts.. but it doesnt show a boost guage or oil temps :(
@@alexlao1808 and you checked your vcds adaptations settings ?
@@ianpgonzaga let me msg u on fb if you dont mind
@@alexlao1808 sure no problems
Hi ian, do you know how can i upgrade my old dashboard (08j) for the newer one?
Hi Sebastian - do you mean to install Mk3 digital dashboard ?
@@ianpgonzaga just the white one
Any way to get boost to read as a number instead of a bar?
not in the original cluster - it's always just a bar.
thks

Why would you want to turn off esp? It will allow you to corner tighter than you possibly could without it.
@@morganoox3838 ESC is beneficial for your average road user, but experienced drivers are usually quicker on track without it
Amazing 🤩
you never show how to enable oil temp and boost gauge
Sorry I forgot to show how to activate it 😭
