I've had this on my works van (transit) for 15 years now and i still try to turn the wipers off everytime.First VCDS change, done! Teardrop wiping enabled!
Scary shit, this!
But I've done the auto scan as per many threads on here so should be good if I do mess up anything.
We'll from a drive out today, just that top layer of sound deadening had made a huge difference to the noise and echo reduction
I think when they have covers in stock there’s no problem but when they don’t it’s the frustration of their website saying they are in stock and the lack of an honest reply from their customer service when you query delivery dates
That's the one! The old man equivalent of having to give it an extra shake before popping it back inIs that the one that just as you’ve got the screen clean does an extra wipe and smears it again??!
Any other VCDS tweaks I should be aware of that are worth enabling?That's the one! The old man equivalent of having to give it an extra shake before popping it back in
Successful session with VCDS, done!!
Teardrop/Extra shake wipers enabled.
Auto lock above 15kph and unlock on key removal, enabled.
DRL's off when handbrake is on, enabled.
Need sweep on startup, enabled.
Wheel size, set to a perfect reading on the odometer, and the speedometer is now 1/2mph greater than GPS speed at 50mph, and 2mph out at 70mph (68mph GPS speed. MPG is also now showing correctly, 40-45mpg sitting at 65mph for a minute on the instant readout.
I initially used the number 1 coding setting as this matched my tyre size (245/65R17 so 2357mm and 2355mm in the coding), but this gave ACC errors above 50mph, and the DSG box when downshifting for extra oomph was jerking really badly. I also found an error code which said "Unplausible/Unfathomable/Impossible (or words to that effect) reading from ABS sensor" so I guessed it was above what it could read and so the system was getting in a tiz. The odometer was also over reading, a 4.7 mile run was showing as 5 miles on the odometer.
Took it down a setting and it's now absolutely perfect, odometer reading exactly right and speedo a mph or 2 above GPS.
Sorted!!!
I may have a further delve and see what other options I can enable... Alice down the rabbit hole, this could be!
Edit: also just enabled the DRL's turning off when the indicator is on, and enabled the option to choose the default distance for the ACC which was missed when mine was added. I pretty much always use the closest setting, I can now pick that so it starts at that rather than the middle one!
People have said it's useful to disable the seatbelt warning dings, obviously only when driving on private land/campsites.
Will take a look at those, ta!
Looks good mate, I've been thinking about getting a Fiamma awning. I already have the vamoose rail attached. Do the Fiamma brackets attach to the rail only or did they have to drill further holes into the van to attach the bracket?
More holes @Muckyboots , 2 scary deep ones above the rail, for each bracket. Solid as fcuk now and they dont go under the poptop seal like my old ones did, much betterer! Quite difficult for someone to steal now too.
That does look a lot easier than getting 4x blokes to lift it on!@TallPaul_S you will need one of these too!
