Went to my VW Service Dept today to get these activated.
It seems that for my car, BW8 2010, this is not possible.
Can this be correct?
-
I know it allowed me to change it on mine via VCDS. Mind i never checked it worked :grin: But it never caused a fault code when turned on.
I later turned it off as SEAT Ibizas were annoying me with it on, I kept thinking oh look he has fogs on and one does not work :grin:
I do have my fogs set as the coming/leaving home lights though.

Thanks Snoops. I think I should get VCDS myself.
I wonder whether Mr.P is watching and can help me out?
-
I have a 2009 model(not sure on the BW) and have activated them with VCDS.
Definitely one to do IMO.

I think using a PC is beyond my VW Service Dept.
I'll have to PM Mr.P and beg for his help.

Asker, I can check if it will work next week (Mines suppose to be a BW6 but maybe a BW7 as it left with all the BW7 cars) but my notebook is at work and im off for a week so don't have access to a mobile computer to set it up with. :embarassed:

Thanks, Geoff. You are a star.

Looks rubbish IMO and makes the car look as if its broken but being a modern VW that seems to be a given :lipsrsealed: :grin: :grin:

If you were close by, I'd b!tch slap you with my right hand and as you are a mod, I'd make it as hard as possible to draw blood. :kiss:

I dont think it's supposed to look pretty, more to do with the benefits of illuminating the road more as you corner.
-
I tried it and it worked ok, unlike my advert for wheels :grin:
I turned them off as they aint for me :wink:

Which is great if its pitch black out in the countryside but on an overcast day in the middle of town with good visibility then IMO its completely pointless :undecided:

Should be in Knightsbridge early next week Asker and will bring VCDS :smiley:

Great pictures, ajmoir.
Thanks.

No problem, they also only come on when the lights are on, the steering wheel must be turned 80 degrees or more for them to activate when turning. Less than 50km/h and they also come on with the indicators.
-
It came standard on my model and it is good for country lanes at a reasonable speed.
However sitting at the traffic lights with your headlights and indicator on it just looks like you are a cock with your fog lights on and one of them is out!! Totally pointless for city driving.
I'd never seen them in operation until the other week when my Mrs was driving my car and I was in the car in front. It looked bizarre as one light would come on then go out with the other going on. Roundabouts especially, the passenger one goes on as you pull on to the roundabout then goes out with the drivers one on as you go round it then the passengers one again as you pull off it.

Pointless and Gay! :laugh:

.....says the man who drives a white 2 door car .... :kiss:

Although I have them, I don't see the benifits, even on country lanes.
In town, I believe they have street lights, so there is somthing wrong if you need a fog light on to help you see at a junction. Out in the sticks, speeds will generally be higher, so the cornering lights won't be activated when going around bends. You may think that they would be of benift when pulling out of junctions into an unlit road, but this is not the case either. Many country folk will turn down to side lights briefly to enable any light cast from headlights of other cars to be more visible.

Bendy Xenon's work a treat! :laugh:
Bit more than a VAG-COM purchase and a bit of finger tapping though!
When the winter draws in I may have a go with this feature see what it does on the country lane blast too and from work.

Enabling cornering lights in the Volkswagen Golf Mark V with factory fitted fog lights (http://www.my-gti.com/2207/enabling-static-cornering-lights-in-the-volkswagen-golf-mark-v-with-factory-fitted-fog-lights)
It says Mark V but it says in the text (Mark VI is covered in it’s own guide) so I've asked where this is to check the difference?
Not that I'm bothered as I don't use the fogs I'm just curious?
-
I have just watched my wife parking our new sharan,the cornering lights/fog lights looked silly as they flash from one side to the other depending on the direction of the steering wheel,i would not go out of my way to have them enabled. :smiley:
