Default Recoding Transmission

Hi Guys, I have been lurking here for over a year, ... great site helped answer alot of questions on my car. I was hoping to get some more information on recoding the transmission. I have a '99 w/ 62K on it. Just wondering if it is worth the $200 for the vag tool to do the mod, I visited audipages and got some insight there.. Also does anyone know where to get clear headlight lenses? TIA.

Default Yes.

The VAG-Com is good for a lot of things, beyond a tranny recode. If you have a problem in the future, you can get a handle on it before you bring it to a shop and they snowplow you.

Default Clear Corner Lights

You'll have to get them directly, I've had too many bad experiences getting them for others (plus many good ones).

Here's where I get them at the URL below.<ul><li><a href="http://www.wotan-ag.de/deu/index_d.htm">http://www.wotan-ag.de/deu/index_d.htm</a</li></ul>

Default worth it, i changed several things that make the investment worth it

changed the trans code to 000032, sport mode, and the tip switches will kick into tip mode while in D or S.... very convenient for freeway bursts..

changed the settings so that the remote lowers and raises the windows... very cool, literally..

changes the hvac "country" to japan, now if the system is in recirc, and you switch the engine off, when you restart, the recirc mode is remembered... nice if you live in s stinky city..

those 3 things alone are worth it...

being able to tell the dealer about trouble codes, and check out things yourself... priceless..

also fun to read the temperature of the tires..
