Got wind of this via a facebook post about an S3 owner not being happy with the understeer in his S3.
Anyway this linked me to the following forum around a mod on VCDS...

This appears to be the same mod others have tried for the normal VAQ Diff (So Cupra and Golf GTi PP).
@paddy6789 kindly obliged this evening to swap the settings. Wasn't expecting much, but honestly the difference it makes can't all be a placebo effect surely. Car feels more planted in general, and to me in the corners its as close to the feel the 280 with the diff had.
Very happy, however I suspect its going to have an adverse effect on economy as others have posted it appears to make the car permanent 4WD. Also the question is the impact on wear and tear of the VAQ system.
Any one else tried this on a 4drive?
