This is the one I used on my MK3 Cupra 280.

You need to run it in a virtual environment though.

The link says page not found?

Would this one work?

FFS the page has been removed since posting.

Go on aliexpress.com and type VCDS it will bring up a list of them, mine was about $18.99

Yeh.

 

[STU3Y]

Sorry I'm new to this stuff, will it allow me to check for problems with sensors like coolant temp sensor etc (not fault codes), and logging to diagnose starting issue

 

[AndrewJB]

Yes VCDS is the complete package, diagnostics, logging and making changes to ECU settings.

 

[STU3Y]

Do you know if anyone had used this site as im not quite sure it's genuine all the links to "about us" and location etc don't work

 

[STU3Y]

Forget that it's a foreign site using uk address and shipping is 45 quid. Are there any uk suppliers to allow for quicker delivery?

 

[STU3Y]

Took a chance on this one. Has a couple of reviews saying it works ok.

Mirror is under mode of Spiegelanklappung Mirror fold link It's in German but google translate does a spot on job.

The extended differential lock security code is 20103 well that's what is was on mine and worked

Thanks mick, that worked a treat. I will update the faq with these bits.

It'll be the same thing, they all come from the same factory in China

Took the dive and enabled the alarm chirp, mirror fold and rear DLRs this evening. All seem to work fine but I noticed that the dash and light switch are now permantly lit up even if the headlights switch is set to off I followed the extra steps on this page (http://www.stemei.de/pages/coding/seat-leon-5f/tagfahrlicht-mit-rueckleuchten.php) but it is still lit up. I'll have another look tomorrow when its brighter maybe the light sensor is kicking in.

The one thing I did notice where it tells you to set the 4 options to "Tagfahrlicht"/"Daytime running lights" there were 2 options in the drop down with the exact same text, did anyone else get this? Maybe I selected the wrong one...

As above the dash and the headlight switch is now permanently lit up after enabling the rear DLRs, can anyone who has done the rear DLRs mind commenting, do you get the same? FYI i tried the 2nd "Tagfahrlicht"/"Daytime running lights" option but the result was the same, considering living without the rear DLRs if I can't resolve it as the constantly lit up dash and switch is slightly annoying.

Mine is the same dash and switch on with rear DRL's activated.

Mine is the same dash and switch on with rear DRL's activated.

Shame, are you planning on deactivating it come service time? Not sure I want them noticing it and seeing it as a warranty voiding alteration.

Just debating that it's booked in next week for the rattles, can't decide whether to put everything back or plead ignorance, because I've done the needle sweep, mirror fold rear drl and carbon on display, it's all there to be used in different markets/countries so it's not as if I've modded or fitted anything they don't already have, not sure if they will say anything any opinions?
