Hello,
I just unlocked the XDS function on my Passat using VCDS, and I'm wondering what...
The remaining entries in adaptation channel 67 should be:
The first entry describes the enabled/disabled XDS status.
Then follow three entries with "n.v." (not available) for each.

Since the XDS was activated later, I'm now wondering if it affects the 4Motion system.
It's possible that something went wrong. However, it's impossible to test the XDS under these conditions because the road is wet from rain. In any case, I don't notice any difference.

What do you think? Should I deactivate the XDS again, since it doesn't make sense with 4motion, or should I leave it on? Actually, I only activated it because that option was already standard for my car model about six months after its production, in week 45.
You could call it gaming paraphernalia.
I'm hoping for your advice. Not that I would break anything on the expensive car icon_smile.gif.

Bye from rainy Hamburg (perfect for testing out 4motion).

PS: I can't attach my control unit log file, so here is the original version directly:
Please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English.

Monday, May 18, 2015, 9:01:19 PM (or 21:01:19), milliseconds: 59392.
VCDS: A Windows-based VAG/VAS emulator.
VCDS version: RKS 14.10.2.0
Data as of: 20150412.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): WVWZZZ3CZCE045xxx
License plate number: HHBxxxx
Mileage: 86150 km. Repair order: XDS_1.


Adjusting channel number 067:
Gespeich. Value 0.
Tested value 1.
Electronic Differential Lock (XDS)
activated
n.v.
n.v.
Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

"n.v." means "no value" or "not applicable". It is often used in financial statements to indicate that a particular item has no monetary value or cannot be assigned a monetary value.

For example, if a company owns a piece of land that is not currently being used for any purpose, it may be listed on the balance sheet with a value of "n.v.". This means that the land has no current market value and cannot be easily sold for cash.

In some cases, an item may have a monetary value but it is not possible to determine what that value is. For example, if a company owns a collection of rare stamps, it may be difficult to determine the exact value of each stamp. In this case, the collection may be listed on the balance sheet with a value of "n.v.".

It is important to note that an item with a value of "n.v." does not necessarily mean that it is worthless. It simply means that its monetary value cannot be easily determined or assigned.

Hello ecknut,

I also tried to activate the XDS on my Octavia 3, manufactured in 2013. Either it didn't work, or there was no noticeable difference when driving with all-wheel drive.

Greetings.
