Hi all, first post on here, last week I got my first Scirocco R-Line 12 reg, I love it especially now it's fully mapped.

I have a question ref the day running, my Scirocco runs with Front dipped and side lights as well as rear lights on all the fookin time!! Other cars just have there side lights on and no rear why is the scirocco so excessive?

And more to the point what is the point in Auto Lighting function all my lights are on when driving thanks to day running anyway?? :shrug:

Given you're new here perhaps you haven't tried the search function yet - look for Daytime Running Lights (DRL). There is a plethora of topics surrounding this issue but basically its VW's way of implementing the EU directive on DRLs. On some earlier cars they could be deactivated via the Multi Function Display (MFD) but mostly required access to the Central Electronics Module using software program VAGCOM / VCDS to do it.

If you can find someone near you with VCDS they could change it for you otherwise you'll just have to live with it
