Coding and driveline warning

dcgolfdr · 10-19-2018, 11:49 AM

I recently had coding done to my car and today about halfway through my session on track I received a driveline warning on my idrive. Coding that was done was ASD turned off, seatbelt chime disabled on both seats, Euro MDM, M2 comp steering and dvd in motion. Almost all the codes were related to the coding that was performed. No engine faults at all. I reset the codes and will see what happens but I suppose the ECU freaked out and pretty much shit the car down. I guess a dealer visit is in the future to update the ECU and therefore overwrite the coding? Sound like I am on the right path?

I should also say, no tune, Fabspeed DP and Wagner FMIC.

If you're running a downpipe but haven't tuned the car, I don't know why the heck you'd expect not to get errors from the factory software, which was never designed to operate with those parts changed...
