Hi I av a (59) Skoda octavia Vrs facelift model this morning I took my car to dealers to get my drl coded but thy gave up and said their computer wudnt do it so I'm just trying my luck if someone knows any1 around nottingham who could code my drl for me am really stuck can't get my mot passed until I get them running

More information is required. I assume the DRL's you are referring to are the ones below the centre line of the bumper and not the ones in the headlights.

 

Do you have an aftermarket hid kit fitted.

 

Do a search on the VCDS user map and PM someone close to you and ask them to do the coding for you, however what I am struggling with is why the coding would have changed to make them not work that you believe requires changing.

Whereabouts are you in notts? I have VCDS and I'm 5 mins off M1 jct 25.

Basically what happed I bought the car couple of weeks ago and it had hid kit fitted already and the probelm was my right driver side indicator was staying on all the time even though I got the keys in my pocket so I took the cars to dealers and they said it's the bcm needs changing so they have changed it and told me to take hid kit off because it could have bin the issu for the indicator but my drl was working fine before but now they can't code them with the new bcm

I'm based near lenton radford in nottingham just near city centre

They not the ones in the headlights I have attached the photo

Okay. I think I know what is going on (Although I can't be 100% positive without seeing the car).

 

Here is what I suggest you do

1. Remove HID kit.

2. Replace std bulbs

3. Ask dealer / forum member to code new BCM - the HID kit if not coded properly (Search HID install) can cause the BCM to fail.

4. If you still want the HID kit I would suggest you buy a new one from london colour and have it coded properly so that the DRL's work with the HID kit fitted.

I live the other side of Long Eaton, if you want to come over I can have a look at the coding for you.

They have took the hid kit off before installing the new bcm they put all the normal bulbs back in and then tried to code it but it won't work still they can't get the top side lights coded too I just want to get one of them running so I can get the mot passed

(Trundlenut) I don't mind coming to you do you want to text me your address and I'll make my way down to you as soon as possible that's my contact number 07980609459

This has been talked about before, the BCM Kaput

you have a PM with the information attached.

So a Skoda main dealer swapped out the BCM to fix the indicator*.

 

And now the LED DRL's aren't working because they are unable to correctly code the BCM?

 

I'd be taking the car back to Skoda and asking them to code it correctly.

 

*the indicator lighting up permanently is a common issue.

Well we plugged the car in and VCDS threw up the following errors:

The coding for the DRLs seem correct but the above errors suggest a wiring problem, or the BCM is borked or not compatible.

Who supplied and fitted the BCM?

 

If it was a Skoda main dealer I'd be knocking on their door and asking them to fit a working BCM.

It was a main dealer and Ati should be going back tomorrow.

Yes trundlenut is right tomaz am going back to dealers once again with my original bcm fitted in my car to show them that there's nothing wrong with the DRL it's the bcm they put in either it's that or the coding hopefully we'll find out tomaz the bottom of it

Just came back from dealers and no luck at all I showed them that DRL are working with my original bcm so that means there's nothing wrong with them it's the new bcm needs coding right but they just completely gave up and said we can't do anything so back to the square one

I'm scratching my head thinking what to do

I couldn't see anything wrong with the coding though. The fact those two errors show up make me wonder if the revision H controller isn't compatible with you car.

The dealers goes the H is just an a upgrade version of D but they don't know why they can't get the DRL running on H

Well as far as the new BCM is concerned there is no complete circuit to the DRLs, which is why the two errors are logged. It would be interesting to compare the coding with the original BCM.

You have a facelift VRS with LED DRL/sidelights. The top sidelights in the FL VRS are not connected -- they do not work. There was a post on here a few months ago where an MOT had been initially failed because the tester didn't know that the sidelight function is taken over by the dimming of the LED DRLs rather than the bulbs in the headlights on this model.

We worked that out and it confirms this in elsawin which I showed Ati.

You can have the coding wrong which will leave the LED DRL's inoperative and log the fault codes the same as you have.

There is also coding which will leave the DRL's completely inoperative and no fault codes. I managed to do both whilst playing around with my mk2 vRS and finally come up with the correct HID coding on this module.

Not saying this the cause but as your not close to me I couldn't even look at it.

I had a spot of brain ache earlier.  Ati did have the coding for the old BCM and comparing to the new BCM the only coding difference had nothing to do with the DRLs. Also I couldn't see any problems with the coding on the new module.

You don't happen to have a scan of an equivalent car do you?

The dealer is lifting your leg Ati!

 

They fitted the new BCM, you've proven to them that the old BCM powers up the DRL's just fine, the new one they fitted doesn't.

 

The issue is theirs!

 

Either ring the dealer principle, ring Skoda UK and complain about one of their incompetent dealers or find a better dealer.

 

What did you say when they palmed you off? I'd have been fuming, they've taken your money, admitted they haven't a clue what they are doing and are happy for you to drive off with the issue unresolved? Unbelievable.

I spoke to Ati earlier today and he was going to ring Skoda direct.
