Hi
I am investigating if there is a firmware update available for the DQ-381 gearbox in my Arteon as I am not entirely happy with the shifting quality. I have serviced the gearbox and also replaced the filter at 44,000m and relearned the shift adapts. This did improve matters but I still believe it is less than optimal hence the query.
I am a long time user of VCDS so I am comfortable with general coding but I have only recently purchased a red VNCI 6154A, installed the DEB versions of ODIS S and ODIS E on my laptop and downloaded the 5 2025 flashdata.
I have read extensively and I am of the understanding that ODIS S is used for guided/manual fault finding and coding/adaptation etc while ODIS E is user for flashing modules.
I have an ERWin account but I am holding off of paying for an hours access as I am still unsure as to how to access TPIs or even if one exists for my specific case.
My understanding is that the 'basic' process is as follows:
1. Make a backup of the long coding and any custom adaptations.
2. Flash the module using ODIS E.
3. Parameterize the module using ODIS E.
4. Restore any long coding and adaptations.
I have questions regarding points 2 and 3 above:
Point 2 Q1: How does one determine if an update from one firmware index to another is possible. I assume this is gathered via a specific TPI or some general forum knowledge?
Point 2 Q2: What is the best methodology to use when searching in ErWin for a respective TPI? Is it via vehicle VIN, control unit number or some other approach?
Point 3 Q1: It is my current understanding that one either needs dealer level admin via ODIS E online access to access parameter files or a genuine copy of VCP or alternatively a VCP->ODIS format converted parameter file. Is my understanding correct?
Point 3 Q2: Is downloading a parameter file to the module always required or are there specific cases where this is not needed?
With all the above being said my DSG info is as follows:
Address 02: Auto Trans (J743) Labels:. 0BH-927-711.clb
Part No SW: 0GC 300 043 HW: 0GC 927 711 H
Component: GSG DQ381 H06 2301
Revision: 00H06V08 CVN: 887992AD
Coding: 0014
Shop #: WSC 00000 000 00000
ASAM dataset: EV_TCMDQ381061 001
ROD: EV_TCMDQ381061.rod
VCID: 6491AC8DCED841FA0AB-8030
Upon searching in the flashdata for 0GC 300 043 I can see there are potentially higher firmware versions as follows:
FL_0GC300043_2303_cTCK_sw.frf
FL_0GC300043_2308_LPCK_sw.frf
FL_0GC300043_2309_QPCK_sw.frf
FL_0GC300043_2310_QPCK_sw.frf
I've converted these to ODX and had a look inside but nothing is forthcoming as to their suitability.
Question: What to the letters (in bold above) after the firmware number refer to?
Any finally If any of these revisions are suitable will I also require a parameters set?
