Octavia VRS 2015 - Audi Pedal Mod and Cruise Control
ricgibbs replied to ricgibbs's topic in Diagnostics & VCDS
@Gizmo It really is a weird one. Is there anything else I can try, or coding to look at? -
Octavia VRS 2015 - Audi Pedal Mod and Cruise Control
ricgibbs replied to ricgibbs's topic in Diagnostics & VCDS
Illogical - you said it. Well looks like I'll have to save up for a pedal box then (having only just finished paying off my DTUK box.. -
I came across the Audi Pedal mod last week on the forum and decided to give it a try yesterday. Had a good couple of long runs today and pleased to say that it definitely makes a difference although marginal (pedal box next I think). However, I have one issue - My cruise control stopped working completely, even the display went from the cluster. Switch back to Skoda and bingo cruise comes back on again! I've hunted around for a fix in connection with this but not found anything. Can someone please assist? Thanks in anticipation. (@Gizmo Just tagging you as I know you have done the mod and also the other adaption https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/448365-audi-throttle-response/)

Yaaay. Happy days. Be kind to my cable

Note that I got caught out on these. There seems to be 2 different types of H16 in the market. What is known (particularly on ebay) as an H16 I believe is an H16(EU). I had to get H16(JP) which is the one with the right angled connector.

@xpower Thanks for this great post. I've been doing a few tweaks on my 2015 Octy VRS which I got a couple of weeks ago (I used to have a superb through the company I worked for) Fitted my LED foglights today and coded as above. I've yet to test in the dark, but as far as I can see they don't dim at all. Do I need specific LED's to do this?

In the same boat...Just spent ages searching everywhere. Just got a 2015 VRS TDI Estate on Saturday and want to sort the fogs ASAP. (I test drove the new TSI. It has full LED everywhere. Makes a massive difference.)

Coming Home lights when Auto lights installed
ricgibbs replied to ricgibbs's topic in Diagnostics & VCDS
Yes, I know. I have them enabled. However if you have your head lights on manual (not Auto) then they don't work. I'm guessing that there is a setting to override that via VCDS but I don't know where it is -
Excuse me for asking what appears to be a noob question but I can't see an exact question already asked. Skoda Superb 2.0TDI 170 Auto Lights installed, coming home lights work fine when switched to auto I keep my main headlights on the whole time but would still like the coming home feature. Is there a way to enable this?

The latest VCDS Release is 23.11.0 and VCDS-Lite 1.2
ricgibbs replied to DGW's topic in Diagnostics & VCDS
As a newbie VCDS I thought I had something seriously wrong with 16.8.2....It just kept crashing and timing out. Installed 16.8.1 and it's fine. -

I was trying to pair using adaptions but didn't realise about clearing the old ones first. Hey presto and it worked. Just need to find my spare and do that as well now... Ref the lights, I'm thinking about getting VCP. Can I copy the old config with this too? -

Thanks for the help so far! I've checked transport mode is off, I can use the key in the drivers door. I've tried the recognition test via adaptions > central locking but no joy. Is there something I am missing? Sorry i'm quite new to VCDS although have read lots about it. I don't want to put the old BCM back because of the indicator staying on... Out of curiosity (i'm a computer tech!!) how can I get hold of ODIS? -
