What steps do I have to go through with a VAG-COM to recode my ECU. Apparently it is coded for a manual (06201) and I own a tip which would make the proper coding 06251 correct? Would this affect my car being able to go into tip mode? Since around the time I have gotten my car chipped I haven't been able to get the car to recognize when it is put into tip mode but thought maybe the magnets may be misaligned after searching and finding a few threads about that happening.

Could someone let me know the steps in order to do the soft recoding? I am unfamiliar with using a VAG-COM and have to explain how to do it to a friend who has a VAG-COM. I looked on Ross-Tech's site and their wiki thing but I didn't have any luck. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place. Thanks in advance for any help.

Awesome. I found the table earlier from one of your previous posts but didn't know the VAGCOM steps

Thanks. Do you think this could be the source of my tip not working or am I getting my hopes up?

It's possible. Are there any codes being stored on the TCU?

First time I have pulled any codes in a long time. We didn't check the TCU since we were trying to find the cause of the misfires I was having and neither of us had ever seen the P1612 code before. I don't drive the car anymore but lately I have been doing work on it to get it ready to be sold. Hopefully it fixes my tip problems.

Recode it, clear the code, and it should go away.
