For those of you who are running R32/R20/S3/S5 or any other BBK setup on the front and rear, you can code your ABS unit through VCDS for a firmer brake pedal and earlier braking response.

Here is how you do it:

Connect your VCDS with the car RUNNING (I tried doing it with simply my key in the ignition turned on - coding wasn't accepted).

1) Open measuring block 03- ABS BRAKES
2) GO to Coding - Long Coding
3) you have to change two byte sections:

Byte 2, by default on the mk6 gti you will have — either 60 or C0. You have to change it to 80 for the R32 setup. Available variants:
20 — disc diameter front 280, back 253
40 — disc diameter front 288, back 253
60 — disc diameter front 312, back 253
80 — disc diameter front 345, back 310
C0 — disc diameter front 312, back 272

Byte 10, by default on the mk6 gti you will have either 06 or 03. You have to change it to 01. Available options:

04 — disc diameter front 280, back 253
02 — disc diameter front 288, back 253
06 — disc diameter front 312, back 253
01 — disc diameter front 345, back 310
03 — disc diameter front 312, back 272

Example (taken from a SEAT Freetrack 4x4 with R32 brakes installed in the front and back:

WAS: 243F6012092280FD240E06E990190141350000
BECAME: 243F8012092280FD240E01E990190141350000

Then you click "Do it" to save the settings, see and a "Coding successful" message upon success.

Go back into the long coding section in order to double check.

Run a VCS error scan for potential errors.

Enjoy noticibly better braking.

Brake Assist is an algorithm that attempts to determine if you are in a panic-stop situation. If it decides that you are, it applies maximum braking pressure, regardless of the pressure you are actually applying to the pedal.

Why? There was a study done a few years ago that showed the average driver sometimes does not make maximum use of the brakes in an emergency situation. One reason is that few people have actual experience and practice with maximum braking and tend to be wimpy about it. Another reason is that the pulsing of of the ABS actually spooked some people into coming off the pedal. These facts led to the conclusion that that Brake Assist intervention could save some lives. Bravo, I say.

The problem on the track is that BA is either ON or OFF. It is hard to modulate the brakes with BA kicking in and out in a long braking zone. I am glad to learn that the threshold of BA can be adjusted via VAGCOM.

00 = stock, brake assist on medium
01 = BA on full (early intervention)
02 = BA on "late" (almost no interventions)

for a firmer brake pedal and earlier braking response.

Ja, ik heb de brake assist ook op max staan. Vooral met eem setje grotere remmen vind ik het prettiger aanvoelen.
Verschil is wel merkbaar, maar verwacht geen dag en nacht verschil

Thanks! Max betekend op 2?

Heb je je schijfdiameters ook aangepast?

Voor de mensen die een BBK hebben zonder hun ABS hierop te gecodeerd te hebben... Doe dit, lees hier veel goede verhalen over..

Weet je zeker dat het ontluchten goed is gebeurd? Bij mij was dit ook pas na de tweede keer helemaal goed en was de remdruk veel beter verdeeld.
