Needle sweep

[lee_fr200]

Is it possible through vag com or vcds to activate needle sweep on ignition?

And it's here any specific threads on what can be done with vag com/vcds

 

[Badger]

Not possible with our MK4 Ibiza's.

There is a topic a few pages back which shows VCDS tricks for MK4

 

[lee_fr200]

What is possible?

 

[posterboy]

No, this option was not made available on the 6L Ibiza

 

[lee_fr200]

So what features can be done on the Ibiza 6l

 

[Badger]

Don't think there's an actual topic here which shows you. If I get bored one weekend, might have to play with the car and put one together...

 

[lee_fr200]

If you can I think a lot of ppl would appreciate it

You can adjust steering weight, add comfort rear wiper, add locking/unlocking chirps (if you have an alarm) and adjust the number of flashes from the comfort indicator function.

Maybe some other bits and pieces I've forgotten about.

Can anyone recommend a half decent cheap VCDS cable? Want to have a play with VCDS lite, without comitting to the full version. I have an Ibiza mk4, my dad a leon mk1, a mate a leon mk2, and my gf is about to get a mk1 TT. Anything that will work with all of those?

I am interested in carrying this out as well, please elaborate on how to do these?

I believe the Comfort Indicators can't be done a pre-facelift models?

The steering weight is:

Ign On - Engine Off

44 - Steering Assist - Recode and note the number.

E.g 10151

Increase the fourth number for heavier steering or decrease for lighter steering

- Save and Close

Thanks again badger

Gendan sell good quality cables.

Such a cable will work on your mk4, Leon Mk1 and TT mk1, but the Leon mk2 requires a CAN interface that are much more expensive. The full version of VCDS-lite will only cost $99 and is worth every penny (or cent). Once you've had a little play you'll see. I wouldn't be without it now, especially with 3 VAG cars in the household.

Always make a note of your existing coding before changing them, just in case you have a problem you can revert back.

Comfort wiper - address 46 central convenience --> recode --> add 8192 to your existing soft coding number.

As for the alarm chirp and the comfort indicator flash adjustment, they are added by going to address 46 central convenience --> adaption 10. I am away from home so can't pull up the exact procedure until next month when I'm home again. But if you scroll up through the adaption channels, the program will advise you what to change, it's very self-explanatory. You'll see if/when you try it

No it can, my 2002 1.2 did, as does my 2004 1.2.

Oh, I meant change the amount of flashes. I have them already

Awesome, cheers for the advice! Might have to actually get one bought. Still haven't coded in my C2 indicators for the towbar...

That's also what I meant

I've heard one or two people say the comfort rear wiper can't be done on facelifts. I've no way to test though as I don't have a facelift to try it on. So just a word of warning to facelift owners attempting it...

 

[Badger]

That's also what I meant .

Umm... I might have a play at the weekend

Good stuff, memory tells me there was an adjustment value of 1 through 5
