Default We recoded AudiAfficienado's tranny this AM, and he was . . .

getting in some serious high-rpm 1st gear grins during the test drive. I think we've got another satisfied 00011-recoding customer in the making.

Thanks for the Sam's, Dave!

Does this allow you do downshft to 1'st (RPM's permitting) via TIP as well as hold 1'st?

Default okay I've heard about this reprograming but how is it done?

I have the VAG 5051 and VAG 5052 - can it be done with either of these?

Default Here's the procedure

Go to the bottom of the page, don't know what 5051 and 5052, but I think you would need VAG 1552 to do it or the ross-tech software.

If you can't do it with your tool, where do you live? Maybe one of us can help you out.

Default Your A8L will require 00032 for downshift into first and "sport"

Not the 00011, which is for 99 and older cars, see bottom of the URL below for 00 and newer cars.

You'll love it!<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/auto_transmission/codingtransmission.html">http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/auto_transmission/codingtransmission.html</a</li></ul>

Default Make sure to watch the movie Ronin with Robert de Niro for some driving inspiration...

...and skip the scene where the S8 is blown to pieces ;-)

I'm a service advisor at a dealer and most of my friends drive audis
