Great tutorial!

[@pavelppp888]

Thanks!

Will this procedure work with any version of the software in the box?
I know that when using ODIS in the early 8 hp you will only do adaptation when stationary, and in later model years it is driven with adaptation while driving

[@pavelppp888]

Yes, all sw versions have ssame procedures.

[@jbjorklof]

should you save or press "done, go back" after every procedure?

[@pavelppp888]

Yes,🙌

[@pavelppp888]

You should press save and then go back when you done all procedures in the corresponding window

Does this process delete TCU Tune?

[@pavelppp888]

no, it does not. it doesn’t flash or change the sw on the tcu.

Gibt es die Anleitung auch in Deutsch?

[@pavelppp888]

Hallo! Ich lerne gerade die deutsche Sprache, so dass ich in Zukunft eine deutsche Version der Anleitung erstellen könnte.

When braking, my gearbox skips 4th gear in downshifts, when braking it shifts to 5-3-2-1

[@pavelppp888]

Hello, what is your gearbox? All traditional automatic transmissions need to go to each gear in order to go to the next year it cannot skip a gear. it is possible that it holds it for a very little time.

@@pavelppp888 I see D5 and then D3 on the display. There is also a large jump in engine speed on the tachometer

[@pavelppp888]

hm, that is strange. Did you try the adaptation erase and re-adaptation?

[@vipp6826]

I tried that, a slightly different adaptation procedure than in your manual, but unfortunately it didn't help

[@deejay4837]

okay vid, but could've done without the annoying tribal music....

[@pavelppp888]

Thank you for the feedback. I will keep that in mind for the next time.

I have VW Arteon 2021 8 speed transmission i need to know what gear box in it 🙏

[@pavelppp888]

For sure it is not ZF8HP, because it is always mounted on longitudinal engine platforms like A4 A6 A8 etc. On the smaller cars like golf, Passat, A3 - they have transverse engine and another gearboxes. Your should be the DSG gearbox, which also have adaptations and can be reset.

@@pavelppp888 you mean 8 speed DSG?
