Reset Learing Values

How does one reset the memory module on the mk4.5?

I'm keen to get the CPU to learn my style and forget the previous owners.

Is it the old battery trick or is there ignition sequence?

Hi

ECU is constantly making minor mixture adjustments for smooth running so will have already adjusted to your driving style.

Hi

I believe it is easy to imagine engines produce a little more power by resetting ECU, because car will sound a little harsh until it re-adjusts and settles down.

Just my opinion for what its worth.

Yes we have been here before and as yet we have no proof only anecdotal evidence that the ecu learns anything.
It doesn't. It works within preset parameters , ie fuel flow, throttle pos, temp, air, etc,
Hi

And constantly uses sensor readings to adjust mixture and timing to keep engine running within programmed parameters.
