VAG-COM Yippee

olitaylor07 · Mar 22, 2013

Bought my VAG-COM off fleebay which I will post a link to £57.99 off a guy in huddersfield.

And managed a needle sweep

Also disabled cornering fog lights when indicating, reversing etc and put digital MPH on aswell only took 5 mins

However after changing my needle sweep I did a fault test and came up with this fault
09-Cent Elec - Status Malfunction 0010

Fault found 1
00185 - Control Circuit. Relay for supply voltage Terminal 15
012- Electrical Fault in Circuit - Intermitent.

I never had this fault before and looks like it happened after I changed my needle sweep. Can you VAG-COM pros help me out.

Clear the codes and see if they come back

olitaylor07 · Mar 22, 2013

Good answer, I dunno why I never though of that :-/

That's awesome, mate. I see the your dashboard lights turn off when needle sweep is activated like it does on mine, I wonder why it doesn't do that in the Golf?

blueturbo · Mar 23, 2013

It looks great can you give us the instructions to do it and did you manage to clear the fault code?

Brinkz · Mar 23, 2013

Good stuff mate - when you coming to do mine

Nice one. I did the same on mine. I also made the heated mirrors stay on longer too. I found that they never really dry out on the factory setting.

olitaylor07 · Mar 23, 2013

Yeah I saw you posted somewhere nath saying it let you choose from 1-600 but can actually only put it to 265 or something's like that. I just followed post on here and somebody on YouTube doing some with a Octavia. I will try and get links for you guys.

Page 5 somebody tells you how to do needle sweep. It's very easy once you have the cable and takes literally 30 secs.

Just do the opposite of what this guy does to disable the fog lights when cornering, indicating and reversing.

Didn't wrk on my supercopa, followed all the steps but no display.

Not heard of a supercopa with it, anyone?

If the fault codes re appear, terminal 15 on cars is ignition feed

Benjic2 · Mar 23, 2013

I believe all the cars show "central elec" fault code, it's one of the "ghost" fault codes that don't mean anything? All the cars I have plugged my VCDS into ( Inc my FR and golf) have shown the same so that's nothing to worry about. Not sure about the others though
Anyway you forgot to do the 2 best mods with vagcom.. XDS to strong and enable the brake booster

olitaylor07 · Mar 23, 2013

Never heard of brake booster what's that?

Well I had a look at the XDS but couldn't find them settings, do you know where it is??

Also for anybody wanting a cable, my girlfriend found this just after I got my from eBay, looks like it will work aswell.

In the ABS module matey, the XDS is in there and you need to set it to " 2". The brake booster is in there also, it makes the brake pedal feel firmer and boosts the signal sent to the brakes from the pedal so they are more responsive and stop quicker when you are booting it!

olitaylor07 · Mar 23, 2013

Okay, right will have to brave snow and get out there today. Does it take a while to get used to the brake booster? Ha

Benjic2 · Mar 23, 2013

Its only a subtle difference its nothing major but you can feel the difference, if you don't like it just switch it back as it only takes a few seconds

XDS setting to strong is the game changer though

olitaylor07 · Mar 23, 2013

Yeah isn't Golf R and Cupra R set to 2 by default will have to try it out. Cheers pal.

Benji is right about the interior monitoring sensors being a common fault. They're to do with sensing movement for the alarm. They just come up with an implausible signal every now and then but still work.

If you want to test, sit in the car and lock it with the key. Flail your arms about until the alarm goes off. If it doesn't go off you might want to look into it.
