AGR Function: Questions and Answers

Hello!

If, purely hypothetically, one were to deactivate the AGR system as described in Ulf's article, should a control unit reset be performed to adapt the engine electronics to the changed conditions?

I once read that the engine control unit (ECU) can be reset to its default values by disconnecting the battery, and then it starts a new 'learning process.'

I would be very interested in that.

Best regards, Jürgen.

Hi.

Based on general experience, a reset is probably not necessary.

Furthermore, I doubt whether the TDI engine control unit (at least from the 1Z / AHU / AFN models) can actually be reset by disconnecting the battery: it doesn't have a constant power connection, and therefore wouldn't even register the disconnection.

You're probably confusing it with other engines.

Hi Ulf!

Thank you for the information!

Best regards, Jürgen
