The lights may go off.if not, just keep driving until they go
Otherwise basic settings can be initiated in VCDS

Me and Darren (MortyGttdi) did the adaptation procedure at least 15x :scared:
(As well as everything else with VCDS)
We couldn't spend anymore time on trying that day so I had a long drive home. Then it was another 2wks before I could get back to Leeds to try again with Darren.
But like I say after about 1000 miles it miraculously adapted one mornings :drinking:

Man the steering is becoming really heavy. We're your steering and esp lights on until the adaptation and did it clear when your steering became light again?
skard:
I remember after putting a highline cluster in Maxitrol's car it wouldn't get rid of the lights for ages.
My ED30 never did it either until last week when I had the seat out, seems to be very hit and miss. Luckiky I have a pretty empty car park nearby I can do sllthrse shady manouvres in to clear it

Hi mate, yes it was heavy. One morning I reversed out of the drive and the steering had gone to the other end of the scale. It was so light it felt like the wheels were disconnected :jumping:
On my journey to town the steering got better and better and the lights cleared :happy2:

I am hoping that it lightens up soon, it's becomming a struggle to drive.
I have tried the adaptation process a couple of times, also removed battery terminal for 10 mins and still the same. The next 900 miles are going to be difficult
