Binx1310

Cost. Trying to do it all as cheaply as possible as it’s a “nice to have” feature that I can enhance as a little project for a low price and basic skills. All in will be less than £100 and look OEM. Functionality may not be as good but I don’t have it now so anything will be better than nothing.

Huh? You could just use fuse jumpers off ignition live row or constant live row depending on your requirements.

Oh ok. I’ll have to take it apart and have a look. I’m planning on using Passat b8 lamps and cutting the Ali express mirror caps to fit them in. If that fails I’ll order the Ali express mirror caps with the lamps mounted in as @JR RS did.

35mm front, 30mm rear, unless you have DCC in which case its 25/20 as its already a little lower

Having said this I’ve just found pro kit on auto doc for £170….

What engine is it?

thanks. Are the pins in the connector and you just have to connect to wires or do you buy pins and then add to connector?

I use the car scanner App. And in the service menu there is DSG adaptation for DQ250. You do 45 seconds with engine off then about 2 minutes with engine on and you get all the clonks and whirring. I’m assuming it’s the same as OBD11 and VCDS in that it resets all the bite points and clutch pressures. I tried it before then doing the drive in odd and then even gears but it didn’t seem to learn the right kind of characteristic of driving for me. @AL2772 advised that once I had done the programming to drive it hard in D and that seems to have taught it the gear changes I like. I’ve got a couple of service jobs and a little project to work on with it first. Pro kit for the future at some point I think.

Did another DSG adaptation today. Since the DSG service the car has felt a bit sluggish and a noticeable jerk in and out of 1 & 2, and up changes even when at constant speed. So tried again with the adaptation following some tips from @AL2772 Now it is silky smooth and holds the gears nicely. Very happy with the result. Also loaded up with ceramic tiles for our new utility room. It turns out 180kg in the boot is just the right ride height. I think an Eibach pro kit might be the next big purchase once the builders are paid!

Not had a look. Just trying to be lazy and avoid repinning plug

Is there any spare space in the connector to drill a hole through for non standard wiring. Did that on my mk3 golf many years ago

How do you get through from car to door? Is there somewhere a cable can pass through or do you go via a connector. I have bought an aftermarket Ali express kit and plan to install as proof of concept with the included indicators for inside the cabin but if it works well will add the indicators into the mirror caps but will be non standard wiring to get through to the door so hoping there’s a hole (or a hole can be made) to pass cables through to the door without pinout on a connector.

I got my Superb done recently. As far as I know it’s the first one at 10 years and 130k miles. My wife’s kodiaq doesn’t cool as well as mY superb now and that’s 5 years old with 45k miles. Will probably Get it regassed before our summer trip to France just to be sure.

I am no expert at all, just somoeone who bought a Superb that needed some TLC and I've been learning along the way. I would say that these codes are related to that switch. Park/neutral switch is that one definitely. The communication TCU is likely impacted by this cabling as it will be a communication route/connected to TCU/ECU/other control modules. Im surprised the wrong one would physically fit. I thought they were related to what selector you had more to do with how it mounts. (White top/black top switch) There is also 2 versions of the white one, one with and without "A" at the end of the part number.

I reckon it’s the bypass switch. The plugs lock in to place, perhaps it’s not done up properly. If that was loose it may well give those errors. For the sake of 15 minutes it’s worth popping off the trim and checking the connections. Also check none of the wires are pinched by the trim replacement. Or possibly a dodgy switch. Was it OEM or aftermarket? I got mine from AliExpress and it’s been fine. But you never know.
