Hello guys!

I have got a 2014 golf 7, it has original rain light sensor with auto wipers from factory.
I noticed the wipers wont work automatically so i started to find out why, first of all i checked the fault codes and i found one fault witch is 934149-rain/light sensor wrong mounting position.after that i checked the sensor itself and it was bubbled up and cracked, i thought found the problem it was a sensor with 5q0955547 part number, i bought one feom a local guy its a used sensor but as he said its fine.
Assembled the new sensor with new gel pad managed to intall withouth bubbles or any damage it looks good.
Then i checked the fault codes and cleared the old code after that when i put the wipers in auto mode its just wipes like a normal non auto wiper...looked the codes again and the same fault code was in...but the light sensor works as it should if i block the light the headlight came on, when i put my hand away from the sensor headlights are off.

So my question is what does this fault code mean, how can i solve this.or is there any steps that i missing i mean maybe i have to reset the sensor or calibrate something like that.
I have pictures about the old and new sensor but i dont know how can i upload.

Thanks!

The one and only mod I’m doing to the Clubsport. In my opinion this is how the factory decals should have looked

Brilliant. I have located the sticker on Ebay - any tips on fitting it? Reason I ask is you might of figured out a good way to get it lined up etc.

Prep wise im thinking the usual wash process, decontaminate, quick clay bar on that specific patch then wondering if you did the wet fit process or not?

Google reviews seem pretty good

70 4.9 star reviews on Google for APS, good reviews on Pistonheads too.

If you are based in Cambridge, Quattro Tech Cambridge 130 5 Star reviews?

Not used either myself, but I would either supply my own VW/trusted parts or check they do the same.

   

Hi All,

New to the forum and hoping you people in the know could help me out.
I have located an airline pipe that has perished and disconnected on my 2001 mk4 GTI.
When running all seems fine apart from a hissing sound and on investigation I noticed this rubber pipe has perished and disconnected. Iv worked on old cars over the years but nothing as modern as the MK4 so I was hoping someone could identify what this pipe is, where it’s going and even better, a link to buy a replacement. I have attached images. It’s the middle of the three pipes that needs replacing.

Thank you in advance,
Dave
