MDI Port Faulty/Vagcom and H7 HIDs Help Please....??
« on: 08 April 2013, 22:06 »
First Problem MDI PORT
Hi!

FIRST POST! Ain't nothing like a newbie to take the mick out of!

So I've had my MK6 golf GT TDI 140 since November and after finally forking out £20 for an MDI lead, I'm gutted to find out that my port is broken (It's not the lead I've tried more than one and tried the same leads in my friends Leon FR)

Is this a common fault or have I bought a duff car  :shocked:

Any idea on cost to repair, or any suggestions for a DIY job?

Tried the Jeremy Clarkson method (shouting at it and hitting it multiple times) - Turns out that didn't work  :rolleyes:

Any response is brilliant!


2nd Problem VAGCOM

My friends recently bought VAG COM and has done all sorts with his Seat Leon using it.

I am completely useless at computers, any suggestions to what can I do to my MK6 Golf GT 140

And in case your thinking why doesn't my friend do it for me... Well ... I don't want him anywhere near my car!!!


3rd Problem H7 HIDS

I know I've made 1 million posts (probably should have put it all in one post)

but I got some H7 HIDS for Christmas and I haven't got the slightest clue how to fit them, I've seen a few posts on here about people stripping wires back, but I'm sure on some other cars it's quite literally PLUG & PLAY.

I've got these plastic bulb holder things, and haven't got the foggiest idea what to do with them, as they are nothing like what the bulbs are held in now.

Anyone be able to help with this?

Cheers
Tom

Basically I plug my I-Phone in to the car, the car registers it and charges it but only plays the music out of one speaker, when  I use the AUX lead its fine, so I know it's not the speakers.... Any idea? :undecided:

Haha, is it possible to do things such as alarm beeps when locked? Hazzards flash when I brake hard, things like that... Is it possible?
