Nice one! I dissconnected the battery and didnt need vag.com

It was clogged but nothing to effect the running i dont think. Worth cleaning though.

Alot smoother once I cleaned out the sensor pointed below (cant remember the name)



Used electrical contact cleaner (none flux one) and carefuly cleaned it with a cotton bud. Way smoother :cool:

Engine code: AUM

For anyone needing to adapt their DBW TB, open bonet, open drivers door, turn ignition on(but dont start engine).  DO NOT TOUCH THE ACCELERTOR!  You should hear a high pitched noise coming from the TB for about 30 seconds.  Once this stops you are done. No need for VAG COM.

This deff works for my 2000 AUM but I undertand that for some newer cars it doesn't.  Seem to be a random thing.....
