    Agreed. I doubt 3 is sufficient for the driver to be sure/confident that other drivers spot the indicators esp when they are busy looking elsewhere.

      I think I found it here

      yeah, with 3 blinks, the last blinks ended when I'm halfway into the other lane... unless I change lane using an agility of a go-kart/F1 driver which is not something I want to do on daily basis in commuting traffic.

            If it does, I'm doing it to the Polo ASAP!

              after a few days havin' this feature enabled just thinking if it occured to you guys' mind whether having the needle swap might prematurely worn off the spring or whatever mechanism that makes the needle moves?

              same thing with fog light as cornering lamp, I find on the GTI the fog light either isn't bright enough or not aimed to the side enough to be a perfect cornering lamp... and prematurely burnt fog bulbs also comes into mind... especially if you do lots of night driving which involves a lot of low speed corners?

              by the way the 4 indicator flash works a lot better... perfect amount of time to execute the manouvre... i won't bother changing it to 5

                Considering the needles move constantly as you're driving the car anyway, I hardly see how it moving for another 3 seconds before you drive off will shorten their life

                As for the fog lights, using them more often is obviously going to reduce their life.

                  That extra flash is going to reduce the life of the indicators!!!!

                    Nah... you'll just have to replace your indicator fluid more often!

                      hey guys, just got my Micro-Can cable so if anyone in the gold coast area wants staging, give me a shout. Also, does the acceleration measurements not work with a micro-can? cant seem to find the button as it is displayed on the ross-tech manual

                          Was you car built after week 45 2009? That's required for Staging AFAIK, as that's when the new instruments revision was released.

                              That's a shame. May be limited to the GTI, GTD and R then.
