Here are the instruction as promised. The pictures are numbered 1-5 (file numbers) which represents the sequence of steps (from the left image to right):

1) From the main menu go to 17 - Instruments
2) Coding - 07
3) Long Coding Helper
4) Bite 7 / Bit 2-3
5) Drop down and change to 08

Save and go back, ensure code/changes are accepted and exit in full.

*NOTE: Please use the vag-com software and follow these steps at your own discretion. I am not an expert and cannot take any responsibility for any setting changes which may cause harm to the vehicle. (this is generic disclosure not specific to this task).

Cheers.

Hi Warcity,

Thanks for doing the legwork. The next chance I get I will have my mechanic do that coding.

Here are the instructions on how to import from the US

How to import an Audi into Canada from the US.

If you're ever curious on importing vehicles into Canada, this guide will help you understand the process, things to watch out for, and what you need to do.

Importing cars from the USA into Canada is generally a straight forward process. This
applies for vehicles including vans, trucks, motorcycles and busses. However, some models may require modifications to pass Canadian safety regulations, and other models may not be admissible at all.

1. Always begin by checking the vehicle against the Registrar of Imported Vehicle
amissability list. Registrar of Imported Vehicles. Here you'll learn if your car needs any modifications
in order to pass federal inspection limits, and the cost.

2. Check for high emissions excise tax. Natural Resources Canada.

3. Check the list of vehicles with safety recalls. It also wouldn't hurt to verify the VIN at a local dealership. You could ask to make sure it has zero outstanding vehicle taxes.

4. Get a vehicle history report. You can visit AutoCheck.

5. If the vehicle is clear, arrange for payment and shipping/drop off. If you're having the car shipped, a customs broker will need to manage the paper work for you. You will need to vehicle title in your hands which can be shipped from the seller. And of course, make sure you have all of the vehicles receipts and any other documentation.

6. Fax a copy of the vehicle title to the U.S. Border Crossing where you'd like to cross. If you're picking up the vehicle, arrange for insurance, or tow it yourself. If you're driving it home, you will need a temporary permit from the local motor vehicle office.

7. Meet the car in person. Check the VIN on the bill of sale and make sure it matches
the one on the car.

8. Bring the car home. US customs will need your passport and driver's licence. They'll
check your papers and car, and stamp to release it to Canada Customs if all matches.

9. Stop at Canadian Customs armed with passport and drivers licence. Tell them you're importing the vehicle. They will pull you aside and ask you to fill out a Vehicle Import Form.

10. Canada customs will send you Form 2 - federal inspection.

11. Pay up you crazy canuck! Right away, you will get dinged with RIV fee of $195+GST and QST if you're importing to into Quebec. If the vehicle was not built in North America, add another duty fee that will be around 6.1%.

12. They allow you 45 days to get any required modifications done to your car. Daytime running lights, child safety, and metric conversions are common. There's also a chance your bumber will need to be replaced.

13. Take your car to get inspected, don't forget any documentation. (title, bill of sale,
import forms...). If is passes, you will have a shiney sticker to boast that your car is
Canadian Safety compliant. They will complete Form 2 and other paper work thats required to register a vehicle in your province.

14. Finally, take your car to your provincial vehicle licencing office with the binder of
documents you've accumulated from importing your car into Canada.

Hi Warcity,

My mechanic and I tried the coding change to L/100km, but unfortunately we were not successful. He uses the dealership scan tool.

We can get to: Instrument-->Coding-->Byte 7. At this point I need a HEX code or instructions as to which bits to change. We tried changing Bits 2 and 3 to value 1, but that did not work.

Your help is appreciated.

Tommy
