Throttle Body Adaptation ???

[doughboy17]

Has anyone with a B8 or 8.5 S4 performed a throttle body adaptation either via the procedure below or VAG COM? If so, did you notice any difference? Thanks.

Put the car in Park.
Pull the handbrake up.
Put the key and put it into the position just before the starter turns (DO NOT START THE CAR)
Push the gas peddle all the way wait 3 seconds and turn the key all the way back but do not take it out
Release the gas peddle and wait 2 minutes!
Remove key than put it back in and start the car!

Was this written for our cars? "Turn the key". ?

Clearing all DTCs will reset it. That's how I normally do it.

No, that particular instruction set was not written for push button start, but I anticipated removing the SmartKey from the car could have a similar effect.

You can run it via VCDS also, just have the car keyed on but not started.
Module 1 Engine > Basic Settings 04 > Test of throttle valve adaptation > GO!
Should give you a successful message.

Not sure if it helps anything, but I do this every time I change fuels/clean my air filter/ etc.
