Sportback Pre FL vcds mods

[Marshy]

Wondering what mods everyone has done with vcds.
The first mod I done was disabling the stop start with vcds
Second was activating the oil temp gauge so I can see that permanently on the lower part of the dis

* Activate being able to lock the doors from the key when outside and the engine is running.

* Show oil temperature in DIS. (Outside of track menu)

* Turn off ”auto rear wipe”. (When front ones is on intermediate)

Where can I purchase VCDS ?

 

[Marshy]

Unless you can find a used one.
Gendan sell them new for £225 which includes support too.
You can pick dodgy copies up for like £20 but their not for me.
Lots use obd eleven which I believe is a much cheaper option.

Would definitely be interested in activating the oil temp! Is it hard/risky to do? You did it yourself?

Yeah done it myself very easy and basically ticking a box and saving.
Here’s the info I found in the net on how to do it

So basically module 17
Coding byte 10
Tick box 1

you bought the vcds? Where do you plug it? I can only see a pic on the post above.

 

[Marshy]

Vcds plugs in to the cars eobd port which is under the dash on drivers side.
Then just follow the instructions above.

do you have a website with all the VCDS codings? I would like to activate auto beeping parking sensores at front too.

I don’t, that part of the reason I started this thread hoping others would list their codings

There is already a huge thread on VCDS codings for the 8V PFL variant.

Take a look here
