[s-cars] Pre-1995.5 Proconten tranny into a 1995.5?

[Gabriel Caldwell]

Some early B5 S4 trannies may still have the ProCon 10 boss, but later
B5 S4 trannies do not have it.  My DSY does not have it, but I was
thinking of getting my dad to weld one on.  That is if I ever install
the DSY.

Hi Audifans,
Will it fit?  I heard the 2000 S4 trannys fit, but I was wondering about
the proconten stuff.

Thanks,
Gary Lewis

I think that you cannot go wrong either way.  I have talked to both
guy's and they are very nice.  I have never tried Prodiag but my
experience with vag com has been great.

I have used it to tune my car and taken day's worth of data on advance,
"load" speed etc...  For instance, Mihnea put in a 0 deg advance when
the knock sensor hit, I used a spread sheet to look at the data and find
when this occurred over day's of driving, or if it ever occurred.  This
way I knew that under lot's of conditions I had good programming that
never hit the knock sensor.

I also used it to extract the advance curve, since I was doing weird
things with the maf I didn't really know if the motronic's basic mapping
was affected.  Vag com has a way to place a marker so that you can find
the beginning and end of some important data through out several day's
of acquisition.  Like my typical start would be at the beginning and end
of a full rpm 3rd or 4th gear run.  I never knew when I would have an
opportunity so I just kept gathering data and when an opportunity
presented itself I would click on a marker and so the run.

I'm looking at buying either the Ross-Tech Vag-com or the Prodiag from
Shadetree software. 


The Prodiag is nice for the portability factor, but I'm sort of turned
off by the requirement of binding the software to one PDA (My father
wants to split the cost with me.. its one thing to mail the cable,
another to mail my PDA which I need for day to day use.. and I'd rather
not buy a separate one if necessary).  Also, another benefit that I see
of the laptop based Vag-com  is better output of logging data.  The
prodiag dumps to memopad files which are limited to 4k in size.. I see
that as being a pain in the arse if you want to log any quantity of
data.

So what other pros/cons should I know about from those of you who have
tried both?

Thanks!
