Norbreck, what software are you using with your car. I didn't get the Battery channel, but managed to find the battery display under "No voltage". Just wondered if we were using different software.

Is there a way to activate the second LED from the bixenon, like is in the Golf R? Or it's a different hardware?

Different light units I'm afraid.

Might have to wait for next issue then, you sure you don't get a pop up box?

Another vcds change that might already be standard On Gtis but I know it's something that needs activating on other models, but do the wingmirrors drop when you put it in reverse?
The pop-up box is there but VCDS gives no clues as to what actual code is required, for confirming a change in the adaption channel of the ABS module.

Gives no clue? When you go to put in the security code a separate window or balloon should pop up with the code. If you click in the line where you enter the code, does nothing pop up, like when you hover over something a description comes up?
Checked again tonight - No clues and no pop up balloon when you hover over the box for the security code so I guess a job for Ross Tech.

Doug, VCDS 12.12.0

Very strange. So am I, but when trying to code the driver's door module, which has the same part number as yours, I get a totally different screen in the long coding helper without all the descriptions. The coding is similar but not the same. I think it is time to do some measurement blocks and send the whole lots to Ross-Tech Support, as there are a lot of label files missing. Got to do our bit for software development...  :wink:

Ah Doug, mine did that as well, no labels at all in the long code helper. I went back over to motor talk.de and asked the guys over there. Turns out the a German VCDS dealers have already translated a number of the long codes, and what was in the photo was a snap shot from the German Language VCDS (still 12.12.0), that I downloaded from VCDSpro.de. Sure enough a lot (but not all) of the long codes have labels that are missing from the English language version of the software. Very strange that they translated a number of them into English rather than German ?

In any case, the bits and bytes are the same.

All credit for this tweak goes to the boys at Stemei.de. - all their own work.

To extend the interval cycles that the headlight washers will activate to a) prevent the front of your clean car being sprayed, and b) to reduce the amount of screen wash usage.

1. Go to [09] Central Electronics
2. STG access permissions -> Function 16
3. Enter access code 31347
4. Go to adaptation channels (Function 10)
5. Select channel 1 - Select "Number of operations front windsceen wiper washer per SRA activation" (in German - Frontscheibenwischer Anzahl Betätigungen Frontwaschanlage pro SRA Aktivierung auswählen)
6. Adjust value to preference (no of times you can operate the windscreen washer stalk before the headlight washer activate).
7. Select channel 3, and adjust the activate time for folding the switch to enable headlight washers in the first place.
