So I have had just had a visit from waytootall, a top bloke i must say, and had a few VCDS alterations. One of them being the Audi throttle mod. 

This should be a no brainer to you all. The response is far better. Almost no lag and very eager to go! 

Get on to your nearest VCDS guru asap!!

And he is way too tall!! 

Is there anyone in the South West who could perform this VCDS Audi throttle mod please?

+1. Also interested in SW

I have the Pedalbox, but still have a pedal response lag before the throttle increases. Does this 'Mod' remove the lag? Any info on said Audi mod?

That lag is now the only thing that really irks me on the car.

I have done all the available throttle mods and they indeed improve throttle response, but there is a factor that causes the lag that is a bit unexpected: subframe shift.

 

One thing that helps with it that is the dogbone  mount insert, but I am going to go as far as changing the whole subframe for an Audi one and do a few other mods.

So I drive an Audi A4 190 DSG Quattro -17 and we also have a Superb with the same engine. The Skoda is significantly slower and sluggish on the throttle. The Audi feels like a rocket in comparison.

 

How do I get one of these mods done to the Superb?

Hahahahahaha speak to local VCDS dealer. There's a map on the forum showing who is where.

Take a look in my signature for a VCDS owner near you.

No, nothing will remove the lag 100%... BUT it will be a huge improvement,

 

I did the ‘Audi mod’ 1st then reverted back to std when I got my pedal box... the pedal box is better than the ‘Audi mod’, but also dearer! 

 

I also have the 034 Motorsport dogbone insert which was a HUGE improvement.

Closest member is a four hour drive away :(

 

Is this an option for changing the throttle response?

Really don't know as I don't have obd11.

Yes OBDEleven can do adaptations and long coding changes.

Any folk who have done this have any fallout on other functions?

It is a bit hit or miss. Some setups go in OK others throw up errors

 

I think it is something to do with whether your setup is similar to an Audi config. Only way to know for sure is try it. Even a similar car may have a different boxcode or software that can throw up errors.

 

They should go if you revert back to Skoda and clear the DTCs

Funnily enough when I looked at mine it was set to blank not Skoda. I changed it to Audi and then lost cruise and a whole hatful of errors in the ECU.

 

Stop-Start has never worked so well and that may be why. Hopefully will get to try later.

 

Car is a '66 vRS 230.

I also tried it 63 plate VRS - mine was originally blank but also had errors after changing it to Audi. Reverted it back.

Race plus 3 equals no lag but a slight increase in fuel consumption maybe experienced !!!

 

What the vibration like with the dogbone insert ?

I would be lying if I said there was no extra vibration... but it really is minimal and worth it.

Nice timing 

Seriously, it is minimal - meaning that if you are not looking for it, you won't find it.

Hi, bit of a thread revival but wondering if someone could answer me a question...please and thank you :)

 

I've done the 'Audi throttle mod' using OBDeleven on my 2014 (64) vRS TSI Manual. Changing Unit 01 - Engine - Byte 00, [0C] to [0A] (No manufacturer selected to Audi). Also Unit 44 - Steering - [incremental, controlled over time] to [direct, controlled over threshold value]. 

 

It has for the most part worked, I noticed a difference in the throttle response and there are no dash errors. However, OBDeleven says that there are errors when I do a scan (even when I don't, actually). I've attached pictures of them here. I have tried clearing them, but the engine one simply won't disappear, and the brakes one clears but then returns next time I plug it in. 

 

As I said, there are no dash lights on at all, and the car seems to be behaving itself, the cruise control works, the ABS works as it should, traction control etc. works as it should. Do I need to worry about these errors, or is it safe to ignore them?

I had exactly the same @FluffyEyeball and ended up reverting the coding. Not sure if the errors can be safely ignored but I didn't like the idea of the car not being happy with the coding.

I think it’s a checksum error. The data is valid but when the checksum is sent using the modified data it doesn’t match what the receiving module is expecting.

Whar is 034 Motorsport dogbone insert ?

It’s an alloy insert the goes into the rubber gearbox mount, this then stops the bang you can get when the engine rocks under wide open throttle (mine was mapped to 220 bhp / 505 NM)
