Different coding for e.g. manual and automatic gearbox has separate data.
Look for "Gearbx_swtTypeVal_C"
Already thought it might be related to this, as it is in MED9, thank you for confirming!
regarding the EGR disabling:
its really done by zeroing
AirCtl_qhigh_CUR and AirCtl_qmiddle_CUR. In VCDS the flow gets still calculated, but that shouldnt irritate, as the duty cycle and spec. /actual EGR Rate stays 0, so this one works fine, it's just about getting the correct ones
