Again, I take no credit for this information, most of the above is available on these forums and specialty websites as well as Ross-Tech’s support pages. I only wanted to group all the info of the pertinant VCDS mods to our S4.

Not all the above has been verified, I’ll be happy to re-edit this post to correct any info.
Oh and I’m not responsible for any screw ups this causes, good luck.
