Revert headlamp washers (originally using OBDEleven to select - 'not installed') back to standard using VCDS
-
Dear (You) Here's a good one for you. Using OBDEleven I disabled headlamp washers using this sequence: Deactivate headlight washers Select Central Electrics Select Coding Scroll down the very long list until you find Scheinwerferreinigungslage Change to not installed - Press the "tick-button" to enable the change NOW... My OBDEleven dongle has failed (again) and has been returned (again) and I need to re-enable the headlamp washers. Does anyone have the coding to disable/enable headlamp washers by changing this value using VCDS? Would it be the same on the VCDS options? Or any other way to re-enable the system with VCDS? Kind regards,

Revert 5 Brake Lights to Standard - How to?
-
Don, Thank you very much. This looks more familiar to what I was seeing when attempting to revert to the standard settings. I'll give this a go (in reverse order). Thanks again.

Dear (You), I'm struggling to revert my 5 brake light mod back to standard. This is the original coding I used (I think - it was a while ago) STG09 (Central Electronics)> Access Authorisation: 31347 Adaptation ChannelsLeuchte27 NSL RC6-Lichtfunktion C27 change "not active" to "Brake light" Adaptation Channels Leuchte27 NSL RC6-Dimming CD27" change "0" to "100" Shouldn't it be as simple as reversing the procedure or is there something I'm missing? Kind regards,

Fitting 17" Steel Wheels and Winter Tyres
R-eddie replied to R-eddie's topic in Modifying your Golf R MK7
Been looking into this further. Will probably end up going with alloys as largest steel width is 6” whereas most alloys are 7” plus. I was looking at 235/45 R17 sticking to the current 235 tyre width, but the recommended tyre size is 215/50 R17. Stay at 235 or move to the recommended 215? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

According to this information they ‘should’ fit: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?7243104-mk7-golf-R-WINTER-WHEELS and http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?7153030-Golf-R-on-17-quot-Wheels but was just asking if anyone knows for sure and if ET37 offset would fit or require spacers.

Looking to fit Winter / All Season tyres. From my information gathering it appears 17" wheels will fit over the brake calipers. (Can anyone confirm this is correct?) The wheels I've located are: 6.5 x 17" ET37 5x112 Will these fit? Will I need spacers? Thanks in advance. Kind regards,

Is that the cache in Bluetooth Share? I've just tried that and still no joy. Anything else I can try? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've just received a replacement dongle as my previous unit would connect (eventually) then just disconnect. The new dongle, no matter what I've tried, will not even show up in the Bluetooth list to pair/ connect. Unless I'm really unlucky and received another duff, what have you guys done to successfully connect? Kind regards, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm sure this will have been mentioned previously but at this point in the thread it's also worth mentioning that pressing the 'RES' button on the steering wheel also restarts the engine and re-engages ACC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you ever go to carwash?

DON'T DO IT! Seriously... At the very worst you 'could': Get a Race Glaze 0ppm water filter Then, ValetPro Citrus Pre-wash Rinse Snow Foam Rinse (with filtered water) No drying No water spots No buckets No wash mitts (Reduced chances of marring) Not perfect, but will keep the worst of the road grime at bay. 'Could' be an in between option... ...but that's just one mans opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Which New DA Machine?

Thank you for all the responses and advice. I'm going with the FLEX XC 3401 VRG and Meguiars 5" MF Pads and D300/D301 kit. I (hopefully) have sourced an elusive 4 -3/8" FLEX backing plate for the 5" pads. A friend is letting me loose on their '02 Polo in Black next week, so I'll post photos of the results.
