RS4 vag-com mods

[AxiomX]

HI Guys

I am relatively new to this forum.

I am from South Africa, i have a Avus silver 2006 RS4, i would liek to know if there is any cool mods that i can do via vag-com?

Is there a needle sweep feature available?

I also noticed with regards to the tyre pressure sensors, if i check the tyres at the beginning of a month and then the middle they have already dropped a bit e.g. from 2.8 to 2.6, why does the tyre pressure monitor not pick this up or does it only pick up if 1 tyre is out the range?

Then another thing i noticed was with regards to the radio (Symphony II), it all of a sudden starts going all cracking and like loosinb the fm channel and then silence and then works again, i have pulled the radio out and checked the antenna but all ok, it plays CDs fine, so i think maybe the fm modulator is packing up or something.

Then regading the DRLs, has any found a company that sells LEDs with the load resistor already atatched.

Sorry for all the quests but hopefully some1 can answer them for me.

Thanks a mill .

Regards
Darren

With rgds tyre press....
think it compares all four tyres so if they all drop maybe won't register.

No.

All the tyres are individually monitored and compared against a yellow warning threshold and a red danger threshold - the yellow threshold is IIRC 0.2 bar so they have to drop that much before you get a warning.

There is no FM modulator in the OE radio? I thing I've noticed is that soemtimes the AF (alternate frequency) software in the Audi OE radios doesn't work properly. Next time you lose an FM channel try tuning to a different channel and immediately back again. If that gives you good reception again then that's the Audi AF bug.

Not that I know of.

Awesome thx a mill guys.

So regarding the tyres if they all go down at the same rate the TPMS will not warn u?

IF i want to lower the cars suspension, will that interfere with the DRC at all, as the cars that came to SA are 10 mm higher than europe.

No, that's not true.

EACH tyre has it's pressure measured absolutely (i.e. not relative to the other tyres), and you will be warned when one or more of the tyres drops BELOW the yellow warning threshold.

BTW there are separate setting values for front and rear axles.

So if an axle is set for 2.8 bar you will be warned when one or both tyres on that axle fall BELOW 2.6 bar, i.e. reach 2.5 bar.
