Thank you - it's a lead and I will email them to ask if they use VAGCOM. I'd be surprised if there aren't more shops or individuals in the tri-state area using VAGCOM. I actually tried multiple times getting a hole of RjRacing since he is based out of NY but I'm not sure he's on the forums...

I bought the car new. I'm assuming I should be able to log that with the OBD11? No one has changed the settings. The exact time that I noticed a change in feel was after a clutch install but that was in the month of May a few years back and of course didn't really think anything of it until...

Update: Finally brought the car to a tuner shop and they were not able to figure anything out and didn't see anything wrong either. I do want to say that this issue does not throw any codes. They said they monitored the clutchpack and that they can see them modulating via the diagnostic...

Hey Everyone, I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've been having the issue linked below from VW Vortex and ended up bringing to a shop in Mahwah NJ and they were unable to "find" any issues and just wouldn't listen to me when I was telling them what is wrong and what...

I'm starting to have thoughts now that either the tech forgot to add fluid or didn't add enough. If I went to a dealer, would they know what to do? I really don't like the thought of going to a stealership but I wouldn't want to go to another tuning shop and them not know how to reset.

I'm not entirely sure however from what I've read, it should be done. It's interesting and depressing that it just stops working. You would think it would throw a fault code indicating that something isn't right, and even if not during normal driving, at least when there is a significant...

The funny thing is that I noticed something was wrong about 1.5 years ago (15,000 miles ago) when I had my clutch kit installed, including diff and haldex fluid changed. I even reached out to the member on here "RJRacing" after seeing his post on VWVortex for reset options. The problem is that...

When I connected the OBD11 for the first attempt of reset, there was an overtemp fault code but I assumed that was because of when I was trialing with the snow banks trying to understand why the diff wasn't locking. I reset the fault codes before trying the reset. Honestly, I wasn't familiar...

So I ended up giving it a try and nothing. It seems that the general reset actually went through but when I went to do the pump motor reset, it would start but would not come out of "active" status. The first time I did it, I waited nearly 15 min and the status would not change. I looked at...

Thank you - I appreciate the link. I will try this out hopefully tomorrow or Friday. Fingers crossed that the snow banks will still be out there so that I can try putting 1 side on the snow bank to see if the diff locks to pull me out.

The reset that you mention - is that with OBDEleven? If so, do you mind sharing the steps to do this? I'm pretty sure mine needs a reset. Thank You.

Does anyone know if the VAQ recalibration mentioned in this thread can be done using OBDEleven?... https://www.vwvortex.com/threads/pp-gti-owners-is-your-diff-not-as-strong-as-it-once-was.7291394/ Thread mentions requiring to go to the dealer or to reset using VAGCOM, one of which I'd rather...

I got curious, so I started poking around the forums to see if this has been posted already and I have not been able to find anything. These are the changes that I know 'Sport Mode' does to the car: Throttle response is instantaneous vs. gradual. The differential (PP) becomes more responsive...

Was wondering if anyone else has witnessed this before. Based on the owner's manual: Tank Capacity = 13.2 gal Reserve Tank = 1.3 gal So, that tells me that when the low fuel indicator light comes on and I go fill up, I should see approximately 11.9 gal when the pumping station stops pumping...

... Is it standard or not on a PP equipped GTI? Reason I ask is because I've seen pics of PPs with and without the red GTI badge? I have one in order now and would like to know what to expect when it comes in considering I like that distinct detail. Is it a US or Euro thing... Is it supposed...
