Service
To enable the Launch Control program for the vehicles included in this technical bulletin, follow the update programming procedure below. Transmission Update - Programming (flashing), Performing Tip: When performing the update programming procedure, ALL DTCs for all systems are erased. DTCs linked to Guided Fault Finding function tests will be lost. Therefore, always address stored DTCs for Customer concerns unrelated to the update programming procedure first. The following Update - Programming (flashing) process may overwrite any TUNED Mechatronics Unit. A TUNED Mechatronics Unit is described as any Mechatronics Unit altered so as to perform outside the normal parameters and specifications approved by Volkswagen of America, Inc. If you encounter a vehicle with a Tuned Mechatronics Unit, prior to performing the Update - Programming (flashing) procedure: Your Dealership should place the vehicle owner on notice in writing, that their Mechatronics Unit was found to have been tuned, and that any damage caused by the tuning of the Mechatronics Unit (including any adverse emissions consequences) will not be covered by Volkswagen of America, Inc. warranties. For any repair requested by the owner under warranty or outside warranty that requires update programming, which will automatically wipe out the Tuning program, your Dealership should advise the owner of the above and get Owners written consent (see attached Control Module Tuning form) to the update programming procedure. Tool requirements VAS 5051 or VAS 5052 (with Base CD V.10.01 and the Brand CD V.10.70.00 or higher). Update - Programming (flashing) CD - Literature Number: W42DQ250RD2.

Tip: Additional copies of the Update - Programming CD (Literature Number W42DQ250RD2) may be ordered from the Volkswagen Technical Literature Ordering Center at www.vw.ddsltd.com www.vw.resolve.com, or by calling 18005448021 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST Monday through Friday.

Vehicle requirements Gear selector must be in position P . Battery MUST have minimum no-load charge of 12.5V (failure to maintain voltage during update process can lead to Mechatronics Unit failure) (use an approved battery charger INC940 to maintain battery voltage). VAS 5051: connected to vehicle and to 110V AC Power supply at all times during procedure. VAS 5052: connected to vehicle with battery voltage requirements met. Any appliances with high electromagnetic radiation (i.e. mobile phones) switched OFF. When performing the update programming procedure, ALL DTCs for all systems are erased. DTCs linked to Guided Fault Finding function tests will be lost. Therefore, always address stored DTCs for Customer concerns unrelated to the update programming procedure first. Note: Nonobservance of the following points may lead to Mechatronics Unit failure! VAS 5051 or VAS 5052 must always be connected to the approved power supply at the approved voltages. Under no circumstances should the power supply be interrupted or the diagnostic connector unplugged during the update programming procedure. Any appliances with high electromagnetic radiation (i.e. mobile phones) must be switched OFF. Access the Mechatronics Unit using the VAS 5051 / 5052: Select Vehicle Self Diagnosis Select On Board Diagnostics Select 02 - Transmission electronics Tip: Before update programming, delete the fault memory in the Mechatronics Unit. Update programming is not possible when an EEPROM fault is active. Delete the fault memory in the Mechatronics Unit. Reprogram Mechatronics Unit with CD - Literature Number: W42DQ250RD2. Program checks software level. Tip: If the update programming button does not appear, the latest version has already been installed to the level below. Programming starts by pressing the Update Programming button and following the on screen prompts.

Updated Transmission Mechatronics Unit Part No. 02E325025 Index AD Software 1158

WARNING Always adapt your driving to the traffic flow. Only use the Launch Control Program, when road and traffic conditions allow it, and other drivers will not be endangered or annoyed by your driving and acceleration of the vehicle. Please note that the driving wheels can spin when ESP is switched OFF, especially when the road is slippery - SKIDDING RISK ! Once the acceleration is finished, the ESP should be switched on again by pushing the ESP button.
