  • You may be better to find someone local to you with VCDS and give them a couple of 6-packs if you just need a few settings changed

      True, better than stuffing up with a dodgy cable

        • I found my H&R 25/40 lowering springs too harsh for my liking. Have a set of KW Street Comfort coilovers on order.

          • Why would you disable the headlight washers?

              did you use them with swapped struts as well?
              I've heard anything lower than the 35/50 (not sure on exact numbers) require a changed strut set along with the springs.

                Some people that are anal about detailing their car never use headlight or windscreen washers. They don't like the water spotting.

                  Nope, standard struts. They just aren't upto the task of controlling the increased spring rate.

                      • I coded the DRL LED's with VCDS to switch off when the handbrake is up. It only works when the light switch is in the off position. Byte 23, change Bit 4 from 0 to 1.

                        I also coded the static cornering lights to activate when selecting the reverse gear. The light switch must be in the on position with low beam selected. It also only works when the engine is running. Byte 21, change Bit 3 from 0 to 1.

                            • Finally got the Aristo's painted gunmetal (were previously silver), really happy with how they've turned out. More photos to come.

                              • Boost Gauge Vent Pod

                                I installed the boost gauge in a 3D printed vent pod.
