Fabspeed_Motorsport Report post Posted March 15, 2013 thanks Kris! little update, the spoiler needs to go into "service" mode to get the bumper off.. without the vehicle diagnostic tool (BIG money) it was supposedly impossible. I used to own an audi and remembered a tool i used for that called a Ross-Tech diagnostic tool. it is basically a Lite version of the full audi scanner.. i ordered one for the shop hoping it would work planning to keep it either way, and it did! the tool let me raise and lower the spoiler, vents, reset CEL's, airbag lights, basically do everything the LARA can do but in a more user friendly package.. well worth the $350! with that being said, the spoiler is up and rob is going to have the bumper off today hopefully!

First Report post Posted March 17, 2013 David, no you dont need to put the spoiler in service mode to remove the spoiler. It can be a bit of a wranglr to get the nuts off though. I have tried it. Of course having the VAS tool and putting it in service mode would be hella lot easier. Just thought it would be helpful for customers who worry then need the tool to remove the spoiler. Aventador uses VAS now. Which is under the VW group's diagnostic tool. I got one myself. You can program all vehicles under the VW umbrella sans Porche now.

You can program all vehicles under the VW umbrella sans Porche now. that's weird, i talked to two dealers and another indy shop that did an install on one and they were the ones that said it needed to be in service mode. out of curiosity, how do you get the torx screws out without keeping the wing up via the tool? it comes right back down and as far as i knew it has to be at speed to go up.

First Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Just remove the engine cover between the engine and the spoiler. Your hand can access the torx screw when the engine cover is removed. Granted, the spot is a bit tight and you need a guy with smaller arm and delicate hand to remove the screws or you'll be more prone to dropping your tools into the bumper then removing the screws lol. It has been done by me. I had to remove the spoiler on multiple occasions putting on the DMC kits, at one point I went to the workshop totally forgetting to bring the VAS along. Was a bit of a drive to go back and grab it so we tried it without raising the spoiler in service mode, much more time consuming but can be done for those without the VAS or other 3rd party diagnotic tools. Your hand would need to get below the square shaped black steel frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazavik Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Agreed, we have removed a few Aventador Wings without raising it up/down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topjay Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Voltswagon/bentley software works the same way, thats what garage used to put my car into service mode when fitting my exhaust. We couldnt see how to get it off without the wing up, your braver than me! Capristo have a plugin they sell that does it now, http://www.capristo.de/upload/hersteller/77_1_EN.pdf All the new cars you get the button to be able to raise it at will, not sure if it stays up to work on it when turned off though.
