MFD "Convenience" setting changed to "Komfort"

Bit of a weird one, noticed the other day when changing the clock back an hour that the "Convenience" option in my MFD settings has changed to "Komfort". Checked language settings and they're on English, all other menus are as normal, and funnily enough when you click into the ko...

Re: Does this (second used) car looks alright for the price?

Worth mentioning that it's not an R-line at all, they weren't introduced until 2012 or 2013. It looks like a standard GT with the bumpers and skirts from the Scirocco R, supposedly installed by a previous owner (might be worth checking for recorded damage). Engine is almost definitely modded if it i...

Re: Another mpg thread - GTS/220 ps

I've got the older (first gen, EA888) 2.0 TSI 200ps. Can average 40mpg on motorway if I'm careful with the fun pedal, not too bad round town either but it can really drink if you want it to.

I imagine the 220ps will be the same if not better due to the later design and bluemotion tech.

Re: Help please!!!

Can't seem to find the part you're looking for online though I know what you're talking about.

Either way sounds like they're pulling your leg a bit, can buy an entire new headlight for around £100, 10 minute job to fit and doesn't require removing the bumper at all...

Re: turn signal on constantly, vagcom.

Another discovery this evening, see below. This was done after I put everything back to default coding. Default was 0, changing it to 100 (or in between) makes it so the indicators are always on and yet still flash as normal when indicating. Not sure on the legality of this but it sounds like what y...

Re: turn signal on constantly, vagcom.

I understand what you're saying. But I believe if you disconnect your indicator in the lower grill you will have a bulb warning light. Maybe try it :) Haven't actually tested it but I can imagine you're right there, I've found a kufatec adapter to change non R sidelights into R DRLs (with the actua...

Re: turn signal on constantly, vagcom.

Here is where i think there may be a possibility to do something, but i dont understand so much. http://bildr.no/thumb/eFZIODNU.jpeg You've found the dimming yep, that's the bit I was talking about, 100% is 100% brightness, change as appropriate. Seems your byte 2 is different, find an option that ...

Re: turn signal on constantly, vagcom.

So you think that if i do as u are saying, the turn signal in the headlight will stay on all the time? Guess i cant adjust the % on the bulb tho? Yes absolutely. And yes you can, haven't got the exact byte but it's in that same module towards the end, I fiddled about with that quite extensively to ...

Re: turn signal on constantly, vagcom.

Thank you for response, it looks awesome. But that is a non Scirocco R modell as i can see, and i think the modules is different on Scirocco R. Bytes and bits may be in a slightly different place because of mine being a MY09 but the functionality should still exist, people 'convert' their cars to R...

Re: turn signal on constantly, vagcom.

Further to the above, just been out there tonight testing various things, I've managed to get the DRL in the headlight to stay on at all times, even when main beam is on. Coding was in a hidden bit under byte 2 in the central conv module (09), I manually changed bit 5 to 1 in the manual coding above...

Re: turn signal on constantly, vagcom.

Mine is like this at the moment only there's a white LED in there instead (as with all non R with bi-xenons), I actually used coding to reverse mine from being on all the time to only operating with turn signal (identical to your functionality) just as a test, see video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r3...

Re: 60 plate with RNS510

I retrofitted the very latest genuine OEM Bluetooth module into my 2009 Scirocco. Costs around £200 (which in hindsight is a bit mad, when you can buy a whole new head unit with bluetooth, DAB, nav etc all included for not much more) but obviously it's all nicely integrated with the head unit and st...

Re: What next?

Unfortunately not, however I'm interested as to what you think of the A5! I'm dead set on getting a facelift S5 later this year. The A5 felt a bit heavy through the turns. The interior is also a bit dated was a 2013. But the face lift interior is nice. Saw a facelift S5 in the garage looked very ni...
