"Audi" Engine Mod for Throttle Response
Pulling this mod some of us tested in the WDYDTYMK2TT? Starts on Page 108, post #2694

You will see I reference a YouTube video as this mod seems to be a fan with owners of Golfs and some Arteon owners. Thank you to Zimmie to test it out first, Kurt and others in the thread referenced. Here are the two videos that peaked my interest and the second video does a better job of presenting the coding changes. Coding changes have been performed in OBD11 and VCDS.

This particular mod produces a better and more linear throttle response than the one that most have done in Control Module 44 (Steering) when changed from Gradual to Direct. Honestly it seems the Steering mod from gradual to direct to be more placebo than anything else. From indications of those that tested this “Audi” mod, even myself, I can attest quicker response off the line, stay in the power band longer, and has a growl. In Eco mode Kurt has noticed that the throttle responds faster, you just don't stay in gears longer.
Be aware this mod is performed at your own risk and only appears to be available for MY2019 & MY2020. Owners of MY18 report when they go to make the coding change to Control Module 01 (Engine) they get an Error 31: Request out of range.
Now onto the coding!
Direct Throttle Response
Control Module 44 - Steering
Adaptations
Find Driving Profile
Change from Gradual to Direct
"Audi" Engine Mod - Tiguan specific
Control Module 01 - Engine
Long Coding
Byte 0
Uncheck Bit 0, check Bit 1
Hex value should show 02 now for the value
Do It!
Now after these have been performed, perform a scan, clear your faults and enjoy!
ACC module coding is NOT required for Tiguans unlike the Golf’s. See post #29 and on for issues and eventual confirmation that this appears to be Golf specific.
In the videos above there is talk of changing the Control Module 03 (Brakes) to reduce wheel hop. Looks like this produces faults but can be cleared, but how effective is it is the question on the Tiguan so far. No difference noticed but others are testing. Here is the coding if you want to experiment for those with more knowledge of Rough Road Optimization which supposedly replaces Steering Vibration Reduction.
Control Module 03 - Brakes
Adapation
Find Rough Road Optimization
Change to Deactivate
Do It!
I hope this helps and others can chime in with experiences, feedback, etc.
**Eco mode is more responsive as Kurt mentioned. Adaptive Lane Keep Assist (if coded) steers for ~20 seconds every time on its own before prompting the driver to Please take the steering wheel.
