Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.

  • Xenon upgrade help

    Hi all.

    As my headlights are very faded I decided to upgrade to xenon.

    I bought R32 xenon housings, Ballasts, igniters, d2s bulbs and the kufatec harness adaptors put it all together and only the highbeams work. No parkers. Indicators or xenon beams. Is there something I'm missing.

    From my research I was led to believe it should be plug and play with the adaptor harness.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers.

    You need to code your CECM for the new setup

      Thanks mate. Didn't think it needed programming unless I wanted to turn the shutter on.

      do you kniw of any instructions for the coding available online?

        Try and find a coding string for the cecm from a car factory fitted with xenons and go from there (preferably a RHD model)

            not doing washers and levelers at this stage. maybe once I actually get them working.

            Looks like I will have to get into vdcs and enable xenon on the cambus and body control module.

              x 2, it is not working until you have all this too.
              The levers are actually driven from both front and rear suspension arms.
              Coding may not be possible without a new CCM


              Have you considered buying a Lancer and putting in some 8000k HIDS ?
