VCDS help needed
« on: 18 October 2014, 20:26 »
Selling my Mk6 Golf and moving up to a Mk7 and am in the process of removing mods and returning car to stock.

Need to remove my rear R LED's and refit the stock halogen ones. I will need to reset byte 18 back to its default so that everything works properly but my VAG cable has gone on the blink  :cry: Tried everything but computer/car no longer recognises it.

Is there anyone in the Liverpool (L13) area who could help out for some beer money?

Cheers  :wink:

Are you sure they need recoding? I thought that all the coding that was done when fitting LED's, turned off the bulb monitoring. If you simply re-fit your original lights, I'm pretty sure that they will work, but won't tell you if a bulb is blown.

Hmmm, I was under the impression that they would need to be recode... but I am certainly open to correction. If that is the case  then I will give it a try out tomorrow and keep fingers crossed.

Cheers  :wink:

Itavaltalainen - thanks for the info re:vcds users - had forgotten about the forum. Registered years ago but rarely visited and never knew about the map. Cheers.

Sorry Joelee, the rear LEDs are the last of the mods to come off, the rest has been sold on fleabay.

Gaurav, the rear LED's will be going up for sale at some point. When I am ready to sell them I will put up a post  :smiley:

I would also be interested in what the coding is to put the normal tail lights back too. I have a VCDS aswell.
