Led high beams and led day time lights confusion
On a FL it should be a H7 for dipped and H1 for main beam. Using LED's in dipped or main beams is equality illegal and should both fail the UK MOT in the same way, namely "4.1.4(c): Light source and lamp not compatible". Personally, I never had an issue with the main beams on my MK2 FL, they were nice and bright with decent throw. I'd suggest you make sure they are correctly aligned and that the reflectors, lens, bulbs are in good condition and clean. However, if you do need more light, fitting an LED lightbar is probably the best solution. They are typically more popular in the Scandinavian counties and can be fitted in a few places. As for the DRL, the method to turn them on/off is mentioned in the owners manual: If that doesn't work, you'll probably need the DRL's enabling with VCDS or similar first

I know you've checked the bulb is there, have you also checked both sides have the same number of wires to the rear cluster?

Swapping reversing light bulb for a brighter one.
A rear work lamp is a perfectly valid solution even if you don't like it As would fitting some motion triggered lights to your driveway If you do fit an LED, my only suggestion would be to buy a decent quality branded LED rather than generic Chinese stuff. If it causes a bulb out warning, have the car coded to suit (ODIS-e or VCP only, VCDS can't do this on a Yeti) or fit load resistors. If you do use load resistors, remember they will get warm so attach them to the metal bodywork to help with heat dissipation. I'm not sure what bulb the Yeti uses but these tend to be well liked: https://www.powerbulbs.com/product/philips-x-tremeultinon-led-gen2-p21w-6000k-twin

Swapping reversing light bulb for a brighter one.
If I remember correctly, the 1989 UK regs state "The total wattage of any one reversing lamp shall not exceed 24 watts". However, your car will actually be covered by the ECE regs rather than the UK ones. In this case, it's R23 that covers reversing lights and it's got much more complex requirements. Just for example, 6.1.3 states: That being said, there are no brightness checks/requirements for the UK MOT

Octy VRS buying tips
I've never used OBDeleven but I believe you can select control modules? If so, I think you're looking for "Lock Electronics", at least based on these screenshots I found:

Octy VRS buying tips
The most reliable way to check for a VAQ is with VCDS or similar, check if address 32 (Differential Locks) is present Otherwise, you can check the original build data for PR-1Y2 which I think is the front diff lock.

Superb Sportline - standard spec vs options
Adding front sensors might be close to that price but a rear camera shouldn't be: - Genuine highline rear cameras with moving guidance lines should be £80 - Aftermarket versions with moving guidelines are closer to £40 To the OP, if you find a car that meets your spec but is missing a camera, there is a guide to retrofit one for an Octavia below. The Superb should be very similar but with longer wires

Amundsen Mib2 Map Updates
I agree the URL doesn't feel like a VW one but it is If you go to the VW webportal https://webspecial.volkswagen.de/vwinfotainment/int/en/index/downloads/maps-download#/ Select something like the Golf GTI from 2017 and discover media, then look at the links, they are all at lighthouselabs.eu For instance: https://vw-maps-cdn.lighthouselabs.eu/vw-maps/DiscoverMedia2_EU1_1410_V12.7z Changing the 1410_V12 to 1520_V13 gets the newer version.

Original coding help needed
What did you do and which tool did you use? Depending on the tool, it may store the changes you made to restore the config. If you have no backup, you'll need to take it to a dealer as only the Skoda/VW servers will have the original coding...

@MartiniB - Looks like there are some new VW maps https://vw-maps-cdn.lighthouselabs.eu/vw-maps/DiscoverMedia2_EU1_1520_V13.7z Downloading at the moment so I've not checked them.

Replacing right hand steering wheel control panel
Sure, drop me a PM if you'd like a scan I've removed airbags a few times so if you need a hand, I'm happy to help
-
Replacing right hand steering wheel control panel
Yup, either checking the part number printed on them or getting the car scanned with VCDS or similar should confirm the part number. The last digit is important in the case of MFSW buttons so I'd suggest replacing like for like if possible.

Mode resets back to normal every time I switch off
Great! Out of curiosity, why did you downgrade it?
-
Mode resets back to normal every time I switch off
@aki78 - I assume your car resets to normal as you've fitted a 'magic box' to fix it? I have a 3Q0907530L HW436 SW:4326 which currently doesn't reset to normal (remembers the setting). @Krosta - it looks like your 3Q0907530L gateway has been downgraded as HW442 is normally a AA, AC or AG index. Can you confirm that? Just need to find someone with a Q index
