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. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        It's just for recalibration. The MKV Xenon's used to move up and down. Does the MK6 only move left and right, or up and down too?

          Both - they go down, then out, then in, then up.

            I noticed that my car doesn't always recalibrate the lights but when it does the start-up pattern is left & right then up & down and then straight ahead.

            I also noticed that the Xenon's bend around corners more than the Xenon's in my GTI.

              I'd almost buy the xenons on my next car just for the calibration procedure

                      LOL no but I should. Have been working on an issue at work since 1pm and still going so the brain is starting to get slow. Only break I had was the drive home from the office and a quick blast to a mates a couple hours ago to relax!

                          Golf R startup - enjoy the motion of the xenons
                          YouTube - Golf R Start up

                          I just noticed that this R has s/steel trims on the wheel where the buttons are. Don't all Rs come with piano black?
