  1. VAG-COM TDI Fest 2002 TDI-Specific Procedures

  2. Summary • Introduction • Basic operations • Checking the air system • Setting the injection timing • Special adaptations • Performance Measurement • More Information

  3. Introduction: what isVAG-COM? • Emulates the dealers’ VAG-1551 and VAG-1552 tool • Uses Windows-based PC (100 MHz recommended) • Used by enthusiasts, general repair ships, transmission shops, locksmiths, dealerships • Uses VAG protocol (separate from OBD-II)

  4. Basic Operations • Read/Clear/Print Fault Codes (DTC’s) • Diagnose MIL (Check Engine Light - CEL) • Monitor/Log/Print Measuring Blocks for various running parameters • Recode convenience items (power locks, radio, etc.)

  5. Note • The following advanced operations are intended for an A4 TDI (ALH engine). Expect some variations if you have an A3/B4 car (A3 Jetta, Passat)

  6. Air system part I: MAF • Go into Engine measuring block 003 • Start Logging data • In a high gear (4th/5th), give full throttle from 1500-2000 rpm up to 3500-4000rpm. • Find and Open the Log file in Windows Explorer • Graph MAF specified/actual/rpm -vs- time in Excel

  7. Checking the MAF - continued • The MAF is OK if the actual value is more than 850-900 mg/h at 3000 rpm.

  8. Air system part II: Turbo • Go to Engine Measuring Block 011 • Start Logging the data • In a high gear (4th/5th) give full throttle from 1500-2000 rpm to 3500-4000 rpm • Find and Open the Log file in Windows Explorer • In Excel graph actual/requested boost/rpm vs time

  9. Turbo - continued • On a stock vehicle, one should see a spike at 2.1 bar quickly regulated at 1.9 through the whole rpm range

  10. Setting the injection timing • Engine has to be warm (coolant above 85ºC) • Go to Engine Measuring Block 000 • Switch to Basic Settings • Take note of the values in fields 2 (timing) and 9 (fuel temp) • Report in the following graph (also in the Bentley manual)

  11. Setting timing-continued • Specification is between the blue and red lines • To slightly advance timing, you need to be in the upper portion of the graph. Setting is done mechanically, slightly rotating the pump sprocket once its three screws have been loosened. • It is strongly discouraged to set your timing outside of the specification! • Graph is available at http://pics.tdiclub.com/members/ericmaurier/timing.xls

  12. Special adaptations: Login code • To perform the following adaptations (except idle) you need to use the Login function. Enter 12233 as a Login code. • Misuse of some of the adaptations can lead to engine failure. This is done at your own risk! • Note that the EGR setting is for off-road use only...

  13. Channel 1: injected quantity • Check the injected quantity at idle, engine warm and all power consuming devices turned off. Specification is 2.5 to 9 mg/h. • To change the amount of injected fuel perceived by the ECU, go to adaptation channel 1. • If you have driveability problems, you may want to increase it to 3-4 mg/h. • For slightly improved throttle response, you may try to decrease the value.

  14. Channel 2: idle speed • No login required • To increase idle speed, increase the value and vice-versa

  15. Channel 3: EGR • To decrease the EGR rate, increase the number to the highest possible value (typically 33768) • This will prevent/slow down the intake manifold clogging problem and reduce smoke • Though the MAF at idle is still within specifications (370 mg/h) do not use this adaptation on the road :-)

  16. Channel 4: start of injection • This channel commands the start of injection over the whole operating range of the engine, including at full load. Advanced timing there may lead to severe damage to the engine because of the increased combustion pressure. • It is in no way a substitution for the mechanical pump setting seen previously • In a nutshell: don’t mess with it!

  17. Channel 5: starting conditions • Though undocumented, this channel effects the injected quantity the ECU allows when cranking • You may want to experiment with it as a temporary fix for bad-start problems

  18. Performance Measurement • “Butt Dyno”
