That makes more sense; can anyone confirms it's an option?
Or is there a "reset" available via VCDS?

Not according to Elsawin - all that says on it is to disconnect either the multi-plug or battery for 15 minutes.

Haven't looked in there for a while, but IIRC the TCU is at the top of the pile in the ECU box under the bonnet?

Can't remember, but Elsawin means the plug from the gearbox rather than the TCU although I suspect it would have the same effect.

I've tried the pedal reset procedure in the D2 S8 and it did behave different. I think it resets the gearchange. For example, the car had been driven energetically previously and all the shift points were quite high, even if driven carefully. After doing the pedal reset it did behave very differently.

I'm thinking that having had various "issues" with mine this would be a useful thing to do.

Instead of holding the pedal down, I found a guide which said to switch on the ignition without starting, then over a period of 20-30 seconds, slowly press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor, and then release over a period of 20-30 seconds in the same way. I'm not sure what confirmation the car is supposed to give apart from the different driving characteristics.
