Introduction: what is
VAG-COM?
• Emulates the dealers’ VAG-1551 and VAG1552 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)
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.)
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)
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
Checking the MAF - continued
• The MAF is OK if the actual value is more
than 850-900 mg/h at 3000 rpm.
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
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
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)

Bentley manual)

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

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...
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.
Channel 2: idle speed
• No login required
• To increase idle speed, increase the value
and vice-versa
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 :-)
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!
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
Performance Measurement
• “Butt Dyno”
