I have a MY06 Octavia II elegance with rain sensing wipers

I have seen this Ross Tech Wiki

VW Golf (1K) Rain/Light Sensor - Ross-Tech Wiki

If I wanted to make the sensor LESS sensitive to rain, do I just make the byte 00 smaller ?

eg. Byte 00 = 4D (hex) = 77 (dec) = Rain Sensor Correction value is 77%

Thanks

Even if you alter the coding it has no real effect, except maybe making it worse. Been there, done that.

Post the related part of an Auto-Scan, maybe I have other advice for you...

here you go:-

Address 09: Cent. Elect. Labels: 3C0-937-049.LBL

Part No SW: 3C0 937 049 E HW: 3C0 937 049 E

Component: Bordnetz-SG H37 1002

Coding: 418A0F030004140000110D000000000000087F075C

Shop #: WSC 73430

Part No: 1Z2 955 119 A

Component: Wischer SK351 012 0401

Part No: 1K0 955 559 T

Component: RegenLichtSens 011 1110

My wipers on auto just too sensitive even with the adjustment switch to the left

from the wiki I get :-

Component: RegenLichtSens = Rain Light Sensor

Coding: 00208933 ON 22/02/08 in Hex = 033025 = 03-30-25 hex

= 03-48-37 dec

37% seems low

Thanks

What do you think ?

Best I leave this well alone ?

Sebastian ?

The 1K0-955-559-T has been reported to be inconsistent or a little late by some drivers while others have no problems with it. Personally I have a 1K0-955-559-AB which I am very happy with and which would be the current replacement part for your sensor.

Regarding the coding, feel free to play with it but based on experience I doubt you will see a positive change. Keep in mind that those values are not directly related to the wiping process but instead they correspond with the installed windshield and it's ability to transmit/reflect certain frequencies of light.

Thanks

I will go nag my dealer

Cheers for the reply
