Can VCDS configure anything useful on an 8V S3?
Thoughts that occured to me yesterday after running a VCDS scan on a mates manual S3, the 8V version which has a 2-litre turbo chucking out about 300bhp.
We were looking for reasons why he'd had a major "running like a dog" issue earlier in the day but found absolutely nothing and it's now running sweetly!  But that made me wonder, is there anything beyond the usual diagnostics in that era of Audi S3/A3 that can usefully be configured by VCDS?

Polestar performance "optimisation".  (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!  Finally: gone, but not forgotten..... 1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course.  (internal dimming mirror added later)1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

I can’t think of anything particularly memorable you can configure that you can’t also do through the touchscreen. Things like adding the RVC require ODIS rather than VCDS
one thing worth doing when scanning that car is to take the tick box out of (IIRC) UDS aggressive mode before running an auto scan. From memory it’s always pre-selected and in my experience with the Golf it can result in unexplained fault codes which make no sense. This was the recommendation when I asked on the VCDS forum

Not sure as to whether they can be consider 'useful', but here's two examples of lists that have been created. There's probably duplication in them:
