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,

  • extending flashes for changing lane feature

    i searched the boards for this but i didn't find it, so......

    we all know about the feature that helps you change lane when you gently flick the indicator. it flashes 3 times and turns itself off. but by accident, i discovered a way to extend it - just flick the indicator twice or three times in succession. flicking it twice gives 4 flashes of the indicator. flicking it three times gives 5 flashes. i only found this out last night, so i dunno how useful it will be. flicking three times might not be more trouble than it's worth, but it's worth trying it out.

      Edit: I just tried this out in my Tiguan on my way to work and if I flick the stalk twice quickly, it only flashes 3 times. If I hit it a second time after the first flash, then it flashes 4 times in total, though I suspect that's simply because the second flick just resets the flash counter so it flashes another 3 times on top of the one it's already done. I guess it's still useful though.

      I actually want to change the default to 5 through VAGCOM. I know it's possible, I just need to find out what to change.... oh, and get a cable
