this is an updated report of what we do to perform a TDCO learn, it replaces the previous post. I couldn't edit the previous post because I took too long and the 15 minute time-frame to edit expired.
Just to make sure we're using the Tech 2 correctly, here's what we're doing:

NVW, thanks for the link!
Also, just to make sure we're using the Tech 2 correctly, here's what we're doing:
We get the engine up to temp (>170* F) and connect the Tech 2. Once we get the Tech 2 set up with the correct year and engine model, we have the menu page which lets you see the codes...
Wow! All of that info is pretty awesome. Thanks TD.
I'm thinking about buying carcode and trying to figure this out on my own. My mechanic has been pretty patient with me this far, but I don't want to push it. He's put probably five or six hours - without charging me - into trying to get...
So would the ground wire being attached to the ip bolt instead of the torx screw cause my problems?
My mechanic is concerned that something is wrong with the new reluctor that the DSG gear set came with. Basically that the crank sensor on the reluctor may not be positioned correctly due to...
Also, does the heat sink with the new FSD mounted behind the grille need to be grounded as well? currently it's not. It only has the 6' harness from the FSD to the IP for any electrical connection. Otherwise, it's just zip-tied to the grille.
Thanks.
TD, yes Northern Virginia. Not ideal, but better than MD.
We also ensure the engine temps are at or above 170* (via the tech 2) before we try to execute a TDCO learn. When attempting the KOKO method, we have been timing the procedure to ensure we get 45 seconds key on (engine off) and...
Thanks for the welcome!
We are using a tech 2 for our diagnostics and to command the time set and or TDCO learn. Alternatively we've been using the KOKO method for the TDCO learn.
We make sure we clear all codes prior to initiating the TDCO learn with the tech 2.

My mechanic and I have been puzzled by this 1214 code and why we can't clear it. We know it involves the injection pump and the offset. We know we need to have the engine at or above 172*F and that we need to clear all DTCs before the KOKO will work. Despite several tries, we cannot get the...
