Would it be possible for someone with a carbon free car do a pull video in 3rd gear for me? from like 2k-8k. I would like to see how my car stacks up, because as of now its feeling a bit sluggish… Cheers!
Presume you mean an RS4? Try a throttle adaptation reset as well, that always wakes my car up.
If you have VAGCOM: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/throttlebody.html

-
Get in your car, it doesn’t matter if you close the door or not.
-
Turn the key to the on position, the position just before the starter turns over.
-
Press the gas pedal to the floor with the key in the “on” position.
-
Hold the pedal to the floor for five seconds, then turn the key back to the “off” position(don’t remove the key), then release the gas pedal.
-
Wait 2 mins. for a full alignment. During this time you may hear very faint noises and clicks. I
only heard one sitting in my car, if I got out and popped the hood I might hear more. -
Drive the car as you always do.
Depending on your driving style, this may or may not be a big factor. I do a lot of city driving so
I noticed a big change after erasing my history. It is not hard to do this, just follow the
instructions - Key on, pedal down, 5 sec, key off pedal up, wait 2 minutes.
Keep the key in for the entire thing. "

Having said that I’m not 100% sure if either method is the same for the dual ECU RS4.
Yeah, 07 rs4… I’m an idiot for not mentioning that… thanks for the reply, I will give those a shot see if they work .
where are you located?
do you have vagcom?
do you have a pbox?
I have a carbon-full RS4 (I assume…30,000 miles and never cleaned) but it runs as fast as any stock RS4 I’ve ever seen. I can give you whatever you want really. Vid of the speedo…logs…pbox data…whatevs.
Saki I am in CT, 45 mins out from NYC. I do not have a vagcom cable but i ordered this… http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002WIN8VQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details not sure if it will even work witht the ross tech software… As far as pbox I am working on that, ebay has some for sale now that I am bidding on.
Where in CT? I am in CT and can log your car if you would like.
