The 8P S3 brought genuine performance intent to the platform, and the EDC setup it came with reflects that. What it also means is that your coilover installation will trigger fault codes the moment the factory adaptive dampers come off. The EDC module expects a continuous signal from those dampers and it will let you know every time it does not get one.
The KW EDC Cancellation Kit is the fix. It plugs into the existing S3 EDC wiring harness and feeds the control module a simulated signal that registers as normal adaptive damper output. The module stops complaining, the dash clears, and the S3's ESP and traction systems stay active and fully functional throughout every drive.
