From memory I think the Sports setting was a 1 year only (2002) feature. I'm pretty sure I've asked the question and I.T. or Adrian E have given the answer but I can't find the post.
You'll have to take mine for a drive to see if there's any difference.

Yes, apart from a small number of LHD manuals - not available in UK.
S (sport) mode came in "roughly" with the facelift around 1999 or so (I think there may have been a few build exceptions so not 100% correlation). Always had the "gate" to flip into Tiptronic mode +/-.

Have you checked the actual build dates though, rather than when registered?
You need someone like Ian (IT) to give chapter and verse on this.

S mode came later than facelift - I think late 2001 but not sure from which VIN without looking it up in ETKA to see if there's a rangE given for the s mode gear selector
As said,can be retrofitted easily HP is right about the throttle body reset - without vcds you can do basic settings for throttle position by switching the ignition on for 5 seconds without starting the car. If the ECU decides it needs to perform a basic setting it will do it at that time
