Hello everyone,

I'm having a problem with my transmission and I want to log or record it.
Unfortunately, only an empty file is being created by VCDS.
Volkswagen Touareg 7P5, 4.2 TDI V8, manufactured in 2012.

Best regards, Raimund.

Can you access the extended measurement values for the transmission after selecting/opening the control unit?

Hello Herbert,

Yes, I did that too.
I see those values as well, and I have selected them.
Recording started and is in progress.
Unfortunately, only the file is created without any measurement data.

Best regards, Raimund.

Hello,

It worked once out of approximately 30 attempts.
The image shows the values that I want to record.

Best regards,
Raimund

If the transmission control unit's logging is causing problems, intermittent resets or power interruptions could be a possible cause. Before declaring the transmission control unit defective, I would carefully check the wiring to the power supply.

Hi there,
The two images don't convey anything meaningful. It's a flawed analysis.
First, take a Screenshot of the selected measurement values as they are displayed during the measurement (refer to the VCDS manual, Advanced Measurement Values).
Next, we'll proceed with selecting the `<Log>` option, entering a name, and specifying the file location (in `.csv` format), along with setting the start and stop times, always including screenshots.
Please provide the raw CSV file here.

Herbert.
