i had to disconnect my battery earlier this morning and when i was off again the car feels different but it keeps changing lol

at first it was lame..basically limp mode, so i pulled over and restarted the engine and it was better. after 5mins it felt quicker again but not as quick as before i reset the ecu

I think i was running boost 6 timing 5?? before
but wot is it set to now?

bit confused over sps3 v1 and v2 settings
 
Settings don't change when you remove the battery connection, but if you've not done a throttle body alignment it might get funny.
 
ahright i thought they did

at first i just pulled away and it was just wrong but when i stopped and restarted i did leave it for a few mins before turning the engine over and then it felt better

will see if it just adapts more
 
because things have maybe expanded while hot and when cooling down will mean its slightly off? just a mad guess!


edit: fook beaten by a couple of secs!
 
ive got the same problem, disconnected the battery on sat and my car is not right now at all. what is the throttle body alighment, and how do i adjust it
 
iirc

With the ign off, and the car is cold, open the bonnet and the drivers door. Turn the ign on, dont start the engine or touch the accl pedal. You'll hear a motor noise and some clikcing. Leave it for 2-3 mins. TBA done.

Can also do it through VAG-COM.
 
Cheers mate i will give it a try. im having all sorts of problems with it. thanks again.
