Help with A4 Running Rich

[Paul Caouette]

Hi Andrew

Regrettably I don't have a reader....that will be my next "investment."

So I've been relying on the folks down the way who have been very n ice
about my occasional request...

So, I can't list them.

But he did try to clear using the VAG-COM and was totally flummoxed because
they wouldn't clear.\

I believe his static clear does require access to the computer via
Volkswagen to reprogram some of the "maps."

So, I certainly won't be doing the "static."

Cheers
