    Throttle Reset

    Hey guys,

    Someone posted the below and I was wondering if anyone has done this? Does it help the responsiveness? Can any harm be done?

    (manual throttle body reset...lasts about a week...)Put keys in ignition,hold gas pedal down,turn keys forward to standby/aux mode,hold pedal down for about 15 seconds, turn key back to initial setting, take foot off gas and leave everything for about two minutes...

    It is just to readapt the throttle body. There will be no harm, and the car will readjust to your driving style.

    on tiptronic cars the easiest way to avoid the driver adaptive function is to leave it in sport all the time and avoid putting it in drive. Also vag the driver adaptive feature out to avoid having to do the above mentioned procedures, imo

    Re: Throttle Reset

    Thanks for the info guys. Last question...since I flashed my car a few months ago and my car became more responsive, doing this won't kill the responsiveness I got from my flash, right?
