Headlight adjustment for Driving abroad
I have a UK spec 2017 (mk3) VRS, it has the projector type lights and these are adjustable on the infotainment system. Select "car", "settings", then scroll to lights. Options are LHD or RHD. Lovely job as PETUNET so rightly said .. Thanks

All wipers non functional! Install of new rear wiper motor.
I'm not 100% sure about this but I suspect it would have been a canbus issue. If the system doesn't recognise the "new" wiper motor on the rear, it won't work. It's my understanding that if you have to change an electric motor driven thingy, it will need recoding. As for why it's stopped the front wipers working may well have something to do with this system too. A cheap OBD2 reader will NOT help here as they are limited to engine faults. A complete OBD reader could well allow you to reset your system fault but again, sadly, I'm not sure. Hopefully someone on here will be able to throw some more informed light on your issue. I'm keen to know if my observations are on the right track too. I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong here ....

Ket fob issues.
Convincing the Mrs that it might work for the key fobs wasn't the easiest thing I have to say,🤣😎

Ket fob issues.
I hope this helps someone as it did for me. First I'd like to thank the member [sorry, I can't find his post to give him some much deserved recognition] who suggested blowing the fob out with compressed air. I'd been away in France for a couple of months so my car was laid up [with a trickle charger connected]. My keys had been in a drawer in the unheated house for months so they didn't have the luxury of residing in my pocket or in a warm car etc. for a long time. I tried to open the car to move it and I had no response from either key fob. The light on the fob flashed rapidly at first then nothing. New batteries at 3.25 V in each still gave me no fob light. I'd tried all suggestions in the various forums, all to no avail. I even salvaged a battery from a disgarded Vape, charged that and paralled that with the new fob battery just to see if it was a battery current draw issue. Then I remembered what I had read about the compressed air. Fortunately, as I have 2 cars and 4 motorbikes (don't ask), I have a compressor in the garage. "Nothing to lose" I thought. .... RESULT!!!!!. So I blew out the second fob with just my new battery in, [no vape backup]. AGAIN, sucess. So thanks again to the guy that posted about the benefit of a blow job. Also my low key battery warning has gone ... WHOOP WHOOP!! The keys now reside on hooks attached to the front of my boiler.
