Not sure Vw would know how to switch that off, I’m just outside the m25 on the A1 if your close you can plug in one of mine
I'm quite a bit away from you but appreciate the offer. That said i'm doing Run The Ring on the 25th Septemver so if i have sorted it by then i may give you a shout  :grin:
This was what I was referring to:

Will be obvious if they are fitted and getting to the back of the lights takes moments.
I think if the sequence was like those the missus wouldn't mind so much, however hers do this (skip the vid to 3 mins to see the sequence)

I had a look in the boot and the carpet flap bit on each side to access the plastic retaining screw is joined, by about 1cm, to the main lining (can get my fingers in the top and bottom) which would indicate that the lights have never been accessed before as the sealed bit would need to be cut to get to the retaining screw and remove the cluster.

There's a couple of garages around me, with one offering electrical services, so i'll give them a shout before going to VW.

VW won't do it, they wont know how, they just plug things in Diagnose it and swap parts. They will most likely charge you a fortune to flash the Module back to stock.

If you put what area you are in then someone may be close that can do it for you for some Beer/Fuel/Heating money.

This was what I was referring to:
#Ebay Link#

That would be a total waste of £80 for something that's just been switched in the software and can be changed back. By far one of the cheapest options is the Carista device.

Sequential can not be done with Carista or VCDS, it needs the loom adapter (like Below) to add a delay to make it work.

Thats not what was asked, watts thought that maybe it was a harness fitted making the lights flash at different times, op said lights hadn’t been played with and it looks like coding (as in pace car indicators) so it looks like the guy needs charista obdeleven or vcds to put it back to stock

Tagging on to this, I have enabled the pace car indicators on my car, but the halves of the light still do their little bit sequentially, if that makes sense? At first I thought this was a side effect of it being a 7.5, and that the modules just were sequential and that's the best I could get.

However, I recently noticed that when I unlock the car, the first flash of the inner half, the whole light comes on together rather than sequentially. Is there further coding to get them to do this all the time?

Thanks for all the input, comments & offers. I had a mooch around some of the local garages & they were asking for £50+ just to plug in without any guarantees they could revert them back. With Carista being £24.99 plus £9.99 for a months subscription i went with that. I have to say with me being a technophobe it was easy to set up & customise. The indicators are now back to normal, plus made a couple of other changes at the doris's request! I may plug it into my TCR a some point for a nosy but i'm in no rush.

Glad to hear it's sorted and was simple enough  :grin:. One of my favourite simple changes with an OBD11/Carista is the change the lane change indicator so it flashes 4 times instead of 3. Always found 3 was far too short!

Carista was used on my car to disable the stop/start.

You can enable an option on the screen to turn the DRL's on and off too.
