I just got VCDS, so I am very new to the program. I purchased it so I could adjust my fuel injection pump after doing a timing belt job. VCDS worked great! Got it done in 2 tries. I’m a little advanced ( about halfway between the middle and upper line on the graph), but it seems like that’s where a lot of people set theirs.
I saw a video on adjusting the IQ, and I thought I’d use VCDS to check what mine was. It shows as 1.6, which I’m guessing is low, as I read it should be 3-5.
Im confused, though. Some people adjust the IQ with a value in VCDS, while others use the hammer tap method. What’s the difference? Which is better? What am I missing?
