Oh and not today but yesterday - managed to run through a pothole on a badly lit stretch of road. Need a new tyre and a quick refurb of the wheel - luckily enough, only looks to be cosmetic damage to the rim.

Thankfully I have managed to get a 17" (wheel with a tyre that has a very similar rolling radius off a Passat) so at least I'm not stuck.

Seeing Mr GTD's wheel on the thread brought a little tear to my eye!

Vienna Leather, Keyless Entry, High Beam Assist, Park Assist, Rear View Camera. Milltek Exhaust, Eibach Sportlines, 19" BBS SR wheels - SOLD!!!!!

2018 Audi TTRS in Nardo Grey with
Black pack, 20" Alloys, Privacy glass and Sports Exhaust. No mods yet!

Can you disable the auto rear wiper when reverse is selected like you can using VCDS.


You don't need VCDS to do this. It is in the menu of the car.

I used to think that was a great feature until I reversed out my drive one day and the window was covered in grit  :cry:

At the risk of sounding dumb, what difference did the grit make?

It's got the to scratch the rear window.

I'd guess the window was wet when it was put away, dried in the garage and then automatically came on reversing out the garage.

Just a guess though.



Yeah a good guess.

Seriously, the glass or the tint on the glass?

The tint is in the glass. It can't get scratched. Although the glass can get scratched and it can show up more in tinted windows.

But this happened to me on the Mk6 where you couldn't turn the feature off.

Yes will post up coding no problem.  I'm still sourcing those bits you mention but once sure of it, will post up.

Cheers, I assumed you already had the coding in advance. I have found some assistance on the OBDeleven forum in the past.

I had some of it already but have found conflicting info on some of the other coding so wanted to delve into it a bit more to be sure.  I'm also looking on the obdeleven forum but that's where some of the contradiction is, lol.

The coding for the Full Brake Lights (inner brake lights active and increased brightness) is:

Module 09 (Central Electrics)
Security Access 16
Code = 31347
Adaptation 10
Channel (8)-Leuchte27 NSL RC6
Lichtfunktion C27
Set to brake light = Bremslicht (default is not active)

Channel (10)-Leuchte27 NSL RC6
Dimming CD27
Set to 100 (default is 0)

I haven't done it yet, but will give it a go tomorrow evening.  More to follow hopefully.


Just to confirm, the above is the correct coding for OBDeleven for full brake lights (inner leds).  Did it tonight and worked fine.

Ok so I'm now thinking about what else I could possible to do "cosmeticly" speaking.

19 SR's - Check
Gloss Black Mirrors - Check

But now my thoughts have turned towards the Panroof and whether to get the rest of the roof wrapped in gloss black..?

What people's thought on it..? Ya or Na

Is it to much..?

The price - £140.

Here's a pic of what it might look like. Apologise If this is someone's pride and joy on here, it's the only one I could find that will look remotely similar bar the diff wheels heavier tints ect. I've optioned the 90%.

Thank's for the confirmation Booth, I have amended that this morning. I think I need to see it at night to get the full effect!
Cheers!

Mines a TR GTD with pan roof and gloss black mirrors, I thought about getting the rest of the roof black tbh just left it I think it looks more OEM with the part red roof and pan roof stands out more. And the gloss black aerial is a nice little touch against the red.
