Sweeeet! Can anyone that has a vag-com trick please post it here, regardless of how "simple" it may appear. I'd love this to become a sticky for everyone, especially newbies like me ( in the area of Vag-com! )

Changed stting in instruments to read more pulses so speedo reads less by about 3%.
Means 100kph now at 103 instead of indicated 107.
Moved speedo needle anticlockwise one click and it now reads spot on.

Cant find my VCDS pix (Maverick has some I believe)

OK Bazzle, thanks for the inspiration. I've actually started reading the Ross-tech manual ( shock! ), and it is indeed an amazing tool. I'll be spending the next few days really getting to know what's what, but I found the accelerometer tonight...so I've been out on a "private road test track". Very cool!

I have done the self opening boot mod but it also requires you to put springs on the end of your boot struts

Also the TPMS retrofit.
