Re: Facelift xenon retrofit (AFS, dyn. & static cornering)

Found parts and probably ways to make things work BUT I am wondering if any one of you has ways to get access to the headlight certification and documentation to prove that these facelift headlights adhere to international standards. reason being is that the government requires us...

Re: Facelift xenon retrofit (AFS, dyn. & static cornering)

TIA i’m now on the edge of converting and found a solution for the indicator, using an aftermarket DRL that could also be an indicator. However, i’m now trying to sort out the parts required and coding required to do this conversion from a FL R to these headlights. Any and all suggestions are welcome…

Re: Experiences with a limited slip differential?

Anyone doing this and succeeded?

Tempted to put one on my R.

Would it mess up any of the systems? or XDS or fault code appearing?
Don’t think i can convert mine to AWD at where i stay so perhaps a LSD is the only thing i could do.

Re: Headlights always on!!

Reviving old thread.
I found a lot of answers for turning off DRL.

However, i realised my Roc R’s DRL is not always on. it only turns on if i turn the knob to the right once. if it’s on auto, the DRL are off and will only come on together with the headlights.

Any idea?

Re: Golf GTI MK6 Coilover on my Scirocco R 2013

Reliving this thread.
Does this mean the GTI’s DCC will work on the scirocco R as plug and play?
any coding required?

Re: Power mirror fold using the fob ? EDIT -You need Vag Can

So it needs to be long press?
cause i have seen some scirocco that folds the mirror upon locking and not long hold.
not sure how they did it. or maybe they long press it without me realising?

is this the only option? long hold to fold the window?
