to replace the battery, you have to do a "throttle body adaptation?" I'd be interested in knowing just wtf this is...
I have a 99 that I assume will need a battery in a year or so.

When you turn the key to the on postion (without starting the engine) and you can here a whirring noise from the throttle body motor, people assume the car is doing a throttle body adaptation. However, all that is really happening is the throttle body motor is holding the throttle plate open at part throttle to help with the starting of the engine. If you perform a throttle body adaptation, the sound is different.TheJezter said:Question to all, does anyone have the definitive answer as to whether you MUST have a Vag-Com to do the TB adapt since we now know you must do it after complete power loss?
It would be nice to once and for all figure out what the difference is between a Vag-Com TB adapt and putting the hood up and key in for 2-3 min.
