Wee update
« on: 01 November 2017, 20:38 »
Car went into VW dunfermline today to get the noise at rear checked needless to say no wee hills to show the tech what i was on about so left the car got a call few hours later to say heehaw found but all aspects of the car checked over and nothing found to be amiss

The service lady was lovely so defo recommend to any local owners she didnt charge me the diagnostic £89 nor the £12 insurance for courtesy car said if i have any more concerns just to pop back

On another note how do i get my rear indicators to do the knightrider dance as opposed to standard ?

Hope everyone is well ! Jen x

If its the swiping motion you mean then that's std on the Mk7.5 and according to a recent thread, an expensive retro fit to the Mk7.

Knight Rider lights were not sweeping like the MK7.5, they were alternating left and right no?



I think what the OP means is this mod, which doesn't need any expensive hardware, other than a cheapo OBDEleven dongle (or ask soemone with one to do it as favour:

A 1 min mod really:

Select -> 9 Central Electronik -> Security Access -> 31347
Adaptation -> Channel: (4) Leuchte16BLK SLB35BLK SL KC9-Lichtfunktion A16: Set = Blinken lins Dunkelphase. (Default:Blinken Links Hellphase)
Adaptation -> Channel: (4) Leuchte17TFL R BLK SRB3TFL R BLK SR KC3-Lichtfunktion A17: Set = Blinken rechts Dunkelphase. (Default: Blinken rechts Hellphase)

Tried it on mine and was funny but I want to check whether it is legally ok before I leave it permanently on.

Anyone know if this is this a legal mod ?
