As above really can this be done to the mk5? Oh and bdw am new to this forum so hello and my name is John
-
welcome
i think it depends on which Central Electrics Control Module (CECM - otherwise called "central electrics board") you have
-
If its on your convenience module (I think this feature is found on most of the modules) then its a very quick job to enable
With vcds :happy2:
Welcome along
-
it is in the CECM
available on most, easy to enable
-
Cheers guys, Seems like a very helpful forum, I take it if the option is available on VCDS then it can be enabled?

Eddie-NL set it up on mine, has activated a couple of times under harsh braking, good thing to have!

Does the Hazard light get activated or just the brake light?

you have your foot on the brake - brake light on
Hazard lights flash

Is this feature available on a midline equipped Mk5 GTI, does anyone know please?
It's a very good safety feature.

you can get flashing brake lights, but only on higher end CECMs
i really want to do this mod, but i can't find the right CECM for my car and they're about £250 from a dealer (for my Audi A3 anyway)

....No.
I lost a six-figure sum of money last year and simply can't afford to. Besides which, I'm still in love with my Mk5 :happy2:

I wonder if it was a taxman issue. I know my boss ended up owing a similar amount because the accountants messed up.

makes you wonder what the point in accountants is! (tho don't say that to my gf who has her ACA next week :rolleye:)
get on the papers "Government robs a pensioner who drives a 7 year old Golf"

Nothing to do with tax. Not saying any more and it's way off topic.

I don't and didn't expect a full report robin.....
Whatever we are faced with there are always those far worse off. :-)
You've still got the most important things in life :-)
(I know I'm staying the obvious)

It may be stating the obvious but you are absolutely right, Rich :drinking:
