Title: Switching from Halogen to Bi-xenon
Post by: Nidari on 02 February 2010, 20:54
Hello i am new to the forum but I have already presented myself :) . As the topic says I started to gather the pieces in order to change from halogen to the original bi-xenons of vw . Till now i have bought the orignal VW bi-xenons and the washing system .

Now I am trying to buy the autolevelling system from Kufatec but i can't decide if for the Mk6 gti it's required this
 
http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p1357_Auto-Leveling-Headlights---Retrofit---VW-Golf-VI-6.html  "suitable for vehicles without shock absorber" or this one

http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p1556_Auto-Leveling-Xenon---Retrofit---VW-Golf-VI-6--.html  "Suitable for vehicles with electronic shock absorber"

anyone can explain me the diffrence please?

Sorry if my English is bad :)

Why ? for what? If you mean why I am changing now it's because couldn't afford it in that moment and now I can :)

Don't know much about this topic, but please don't apologise for your English. It is much better than most of the posts on this forum which have a shockingly poor command of English.
It is painful to read most of them, so I have given up on those posts that are full of glaring errors.
These members need to go back to a good school and save some of us from this utterly painful experience.
Take care.

Yeah quite hard :) anyone has an idea of what the "shock absorber might be" ? does the mk6 gti have it or not can't really figure it out :(

Probably the difference between ACC and non ACC. (Adaptive Chassis Control  which is basically electronic/magnetic damping control)

The earlier 'why'.. just curious as to why you want them now and you didn't when you ordered, you now have the extra money OK, they ain't that special though.

By the way, I still feel you should improve your grammer.
But I am now too tired to keep correcting you.
Now don't get teased.
Goodnight!

Ah ok so in my case since I don't have the ACC I should order the ones without shock absorber correct?

Well I think Bi-xenon makes the care more aggressive and sportier in my opinion and they also light the way better :)

Stones - glass houses and all that. Have a good read through all of your own posts first.
Most people here (and on every other internet forum) type quickly and don't waste time checking every word - so what.

By the way, what is a good school??

Not the one you went to, obviously.
Sorry, could not help that cheap jibe.
Had a bad day in the office.
I like your taste in cars and really enjoy all your posts.
You are a great member.
Peace!
Take care.

Hope it helps and I'm only guessing.  

Just make sure the auto levelling works properly or you'll cause an accident.

Surely if your friend works for vw then he's the one to ask??? Don't take it for granted that GolfTi is right, as he says he's only guessing, just contact whoever it is your buying from, they'll sort you out. :smiley:

I would like to add to this that some of the posters may also be dyslexic like myself, which meens what we may lack in grammer and English skills we make up for in other areas. As an example just because my grammer and English sucks does not meen im not highly educated. I have a Masters Degree and also a Doctorate in two different Engineering principals from whats recognised as one of the hardest universities to qualify from in these subjects in this country so i class that as a good school! If you don't like reading posts from people like me then tuff. :drool:

If you don't have ACC you don't have the electronic shock absorbers. :smiley:

Now if i wanted to be a big head and a real arse hole, i could say the golf does not have electronic springs at all so no golf would have electronic shock absorbers but im not like that. :grin:  :tongue:

Hi Snoopy!
I do enjoy your posts.
Getting my GTi 2nd to 3rd week in March. Build week 9, confirmed.
When does your car arrive?

I am getting an update on the 1st of March at the latest to the status of my order. I was told by VWcs the same delivery time as yourself (2nd or 3rd week of March) but i expect it maybe a bit earlier due to my build week starting Monday  :smiley:. I think VW maybe just giving the dealer more time to get through the large amount of cars they may have to PDI for early March delivery already.
Im not that bothered if truth be told as i may garage it anyway till the bad weathers over :evil: and i would rather the dealer took their time and PDI'd the car correctly than rush it out the door as i know they do this time of year.

I think all the dealers are singing from the same hymn sheet.
My build week was originally the same as yours. Then it became build week 9!
I ordered my car on 16 Dec 2009. Therefore, not too much of a wait.
I think your car will arrive sooner. Like your options.

The delivery information for my car came from the support department of VWuk rather than my dealer.

Your delivery information will be more reliable.
I think I might give the VW Support Department a call on Monday.
Thanks for that.
