I think I found a FIX for turning OFF the TRACTION CONTROL-Golf R

[olias]

I went to the track yesterday super excited using the GIAC Race Program 100 Octane, only to be somewhat let down when I had turned of the stability control and it really does not turn off. With the traction control still on I lost a lot of really needed power through some of the turns. So while at the track I started researching the web and found that the European and Canadian cars will really turn off the traction control by holding down the ASR button for 3 seconds and hear a ding sound. It bugged me so much that I am taking action for what should have come on our US spec cars. I spoke with Austin at GIAC and he said check to make sure the part #'s of the ABS Module for the Canandian and US cars are the same and we can change the coding to make it Euro or Canadian spec. So I called this VW Parts guy in Canada (another Austin haha) and ends up he has a Golf R too. What are the odds. He sent me a log of his coding on his Canadian Golf R. I will show you guys however please use at your own risk as I am verifying with Austin at GIAC that the codes match up with his Golf R connects in Europe and Canada. I am itching to find out. Once I do I will repost my findings. Here is the Canadian spec coding below:

Awesome that's exactly what I was going to do in a couple weeks . Subscribed!!!

For what it's worth, here's my current (absolutely stock and untouched) ABS brake coding (NA region of course):

Hmm...

[olias]

stay tuned!!!

[olias]

Awesome the coding is different so that is giving me an idea that this coding from Canada should work. I just want to wait for the results from Austin at GIAC to verify the Canadian and Euro codes. I think we are on to something guys...super siked!!! No more power dips through the turns!!!

[olias]

Thanks Casbah Boy!!!

[ScratchRob13]

Interesting find!

[TyrolSport]

I will try to recode tomorrow morning. Only because if I got out of bed right now to recode my car on a public street in NYC, my wife will really think the game is up.

I'm thinking I'll try it also. I get off work at 4am and home bout 5. Nothing like a 5am drift in my neighborhood LOL!! Nobody's up and driving so that'll be perfect

Let me know your findings and I hope it works!!! I am curious to find out if the coding for Europe is the same as Canada...if it is I think we are in the money!!!

[Coderedpl]

Let's see how tired I am when I arrive home in 3 hours. If not too bad ill go and try to recode

[watsonj0]

I just tried it it says "error 31 request out of range"
I think you need a security key to unlock the module

I sell cars at a VW Dealership and am going to ask one of my techs how to install the coding. We will find out somehow!!!

I'm pretty sure someone had tried this 2 or 3 months ago and had the same problem as this. They even tried changing one byte at a time and couldn't get the system to accept the changes...

[Coderedpl]

Maybe there needs to be more than just one change done?

[venezuela1986]

Is the coding on the abs modules maybe we can swap one with one from canada?

[Wermz]

Subscribing.

If the part number is the same ordering a Canadian ABS module will do nothing as it still has to be coded.

We probably need to go through the Security Access to fully change the coding.

Atleast we are getting closer in breaking this code. Where do i subscrible lol

[droopy1592]

Noobs. If you read the original thread I already went over this three months ago.

Siliconerane got the coding from a Can model and I tried it. You need an SVM unit to change more than the last 4-5 bytes on the abs module.

Hmm, my current coding is

144B800C492200FD281101E992220041B70000

and I tried

144B800C49248000281301EC921A0141310000

in both Lcoding helper and in the new coding field and both times got a error 31 coding out of range.

Supposedly mcgyver7923 is attempting to change his through a possible source. Others may try sourcing a Canadian unit.


Keep in mind that every time a tech connects your car that a Flag will be thrown and your software change may be over written with the American coding.


From rosstech:

Software Version Management (SVM)
Software Version Management (SVM) is a system used by VW/Audi to update control modules and in certain cases, to change their Coding.
Retrofits and Modifications which are not or cannot documented using Software Version Managements (SVM) at the dealership should be documented in the customer’s vehicle documents. Examples including: Non official retrofit procedures, or ones that aren’t in the VW/Audi system.
We recommend you add the following information to the service/owners manual of the car:

Type and complexity of the Retrofitting/Modification
Location of the Retrofitting/Modification (Contact Person in Case of Problems)
Software/Hardware Part Numbers of the Modules which have been replaced (if applicable)
Coding and Adaptation Changes made during the Retrofitting/Modification (before and after)
The Reason for these suggestions is that the dealer tech may perform a SVM Comparison the next time the car comes in. Every discrepancy compared to the settings after the car was produced will be flagged and the tech will be asked he wants to correct those. If he does all changes get reversed and your retrofitting/modification may not work any longer, so the documentation should inform the tech or at least help to reverse the changes made when necessary.

Search is your friend

LMFAO I totally remember this now!

I was on track in my (Euro) R last week, which was delivered to me late May. Must have just been built before the cut off, as mine still ESP that comes on...

This was back in April, Phil grabbed a copy of my coding at Wookies.

Greetings All. This has been address a couple of times in some much angrier threads with much ranting involved. Seems to be one of those coding changes that has to be done with a much more sophistocated peice of nerd-esque equipment. Someone hit a VW engineer and "acquire" his computatorz.

BRSomm - you ready for Wookies 13?

You need the vas tool to input svm codes into the abs module. Can you make region based changes?
