explain :surprised: :signLOL:

You do the indicators via VCDS - you can do the rears too - it looks quite funky, but SWMBO didn't like it when I did hers!
You can also alter the brightness of the tail lamps - to provide greater or lesser differentiation between the brake lights. And you can even code it to have two rear fog lamps, and probably many more besides. :happy2:

as above you use VCDS and go into the CECM and then to bit 7 (iirc) there is a box that says turn signal left/right as side lamp (usa/canada) TICK THE BOX, then in the box nearist to the words put in a number like 50 that is 50% then scroll to the next page and then back to make sure the figure is still there if it is come out of the long code help and press do it and then hey presto its done, i took a pic last night, its not great will upload it in a moment :happy2:

what vcds have you all got i havnt got a clue but want to do some of these mods! there are some on ebay which are £15 will these do basic stuff like the 50% indicator or do i need something a lot better? :smiley:

Avoid the ones off eBay - especially at £15. You'd get better useage out of your notes if you use them after a number two and flush them down the sh!tter!
A genuine Ross-Tech lead is what you need - look for the distributor list on www.Ross-Tech.com. They may not seem too cheap, but use it on your own car half a dozen times, and you'll have got back the price of the Ross-Tech lead compared to what the stealer would charge you for a diagnostic scan or control module tweak. And once you get the hang of it, you can even earn a few beer chits by offering to help fellow VAG-ers out!

That looks interesting - but you really ought to photoshop out your reg number and street sign! :wink:

yeah up until about 2 yrs ago id owned vauxhalls, mainly Astras and had done most things to the mk2's, fitted V6 Calibra engines and 6sp boxes, 5 stud hubs, calibra dash and wiring loom in to a mk2 cab, 16v a nova in 1999 (before clarkson and VBH done it, and that the time courtenay had only done 2) yeah i was a bit of player with Vauxhalls until i banged my head and saw how good the build was of all things VAG
