No one has actually said why it’s happening - The car wiring is designed for normal halogen bulbs. and so an amount of current leaks through all the time which but doesn’t affect the halogens as it gets blocked by the filament resistance in the bulb. LEDs use a fraction of the power, With a fraction of resistance so then the current leaks through it illuminates the bulbs. For them to work properly there needs to be a resistor pack built into the bulb strong enough to block that residual power flow. The ones you got don’t do this properly.

It’s a rite of passage. I did the exact same thing assuming tighter was better..

As what Dean said, BUT!!!!!!! Count how many of the grooves are visible to make sure you put the cable back in exactly the right spot. Otherwise the tension won’t be correct and the lock won’t open. Do not close the door until you tested it successfully at least a dozen times, using a screwdriver to close the latch with the door open.

You did nothing wrong @yetitwins In fact you followed the guidelines perfectly 👍🏻 Hopefully someone will have advice for you soon 🤞🏻

You do realise the last post was only 3 yrs ago, not 7, and the age of the post is irrelevant if it’s about a topic someone (a new member, so that’s a warm welcome, laughing at them...) has searched and may be able to get help from?

I thought that too, but wasn’t getting any hits on Google even with spelling changes. Tried it with vignette (which I remembered from ooooold chat about the windscreen clip 😂) and got hits about the nav settings 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s saying “Attention vignette required” which is a message that you may have to pay a toll. The car doesn’t know you have an annual pass. Go into the settings for the navigation and there’s an option to turn it off. https://www.vwidtalk.com/threads/turning-off-the-%E2%80%9Cattention-toll-road-ahead%E2%80%9D-announcement.8977/

Morning Andy! Sometimes a car gets into your soul in spite of its niggles and flaws. Sometimes a car gets under your skin like a tick because of its niggles and flaws. 🤣 we’ve all been there, on both sides of the coin toss. My current mk2 is getting on now but I can’t find anything to justify replacing it with, despite its creaks, rattles, etc. The thing it replaced (1st gen Inshi7nia) was fancier looking, had way more torque and power, as many toys etc. but its list of niggles made me hate it by the time it died on me, and I wasn’t sad about it, just annoyed at the financial implications.. Keep on bussing on in the wagon chief 👍🏻

Morning! And welcome to Briskoda properly. Glad the site was able to help you out!

Evening, welcome to the forum! Have a search on the mk3 octy section or post up a new thread to ask about the issue and you should get a decent response 👍🏻

Hi Penfold, How’s Danger Mouse these days? 😉 glad the aite has helped you out before joining, imagine how helpful it will be when you ask questions! 😂

I’ll be watching this later on, but… wwwhhhhaaaaat???? I thought your kids would be trying to figure out who was gonna be getting Rusty on which weekends in a few decades.

Hi Numan! Welcome to the forum, and I hope you continue to have a trouble free life with your Octy 😊

Good evening from Ireland 👋 Welcome along and I hope you find all the info you need for your car 👍🏻

Morning Sonny, Welcome to the forum!

Morning, Welcome to the forum! Hopefully you find the site helpful along the way

👋 Hi and welcome along!

Hi Chippy, We’re a very accepting group around here 🤣

Think you quoted me by accident 😆

Is that a tacho on a bus?

Nightbreaker lasers do good as a balance between light increase and lasting. The Philips extreme I’ve used only lasted 6months.. The night breakers 12months.

No one is going to give you an answer about structural damage based off a (no offence meant buddy) shaky phone camera video shot in the dark by flash light, moving around the outside of the vehicle. If there is structural damage, it’s deeper in and too difficult assess without actually looking at the vehicle.

Is it a CAYC engine? It’s not your MaF, it’s the EGR starting to fail. Read this - it will explain what you can expect to happen.

I presume you’ve enabled the “remember me” button in the login page? Assuming so, do you have your browser set to clear the cache every time you exit the browser or site?

It’s also possible, given the number of error codes that it’s somewhat coincidental. Did the oil spill everywhere in the engine bay? Possibly in any fuses etc? Because that amount of sudden onset faults sounds like an electrical short
