    Same Audi A3 and VW Tiguan Light Sensor - Why they Behave Differently?

    That's right. Do you think referencing the settings for module 09 is the right direction to take to restore the behaviour of my previous car?

    Same Audi A3 and VW Tiguan Light Sensor - Why they Behave Differently?

    Because of a new family member, I have picked up a new VW Tiguan Allspace and just reluctantly sold my A3. I absolutely loved my A3 as I have done numerous DIYs and retrofits to my vehicle. It was still running very well with 94xxx km on it. While I am excited to try out the new toy, I noticed...

    Auto wipers

    The intermittent option can be found in Driver Assistant -> Rain Sensor. Turning off the rain sensor will get you intermittent wipers. I was also unsuccessful in looking for an option in VCDS to even increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor. However I have found that removal of the...

    Auto wipers

    I think you do have an intermittent setting for auto wipers. There is an option in MMI to choose what should the car do while the stalk is in the auto/intermittent position. (I guess in system settings? I cant recall for sure cuz I am not in my car right now)

    A/C Flaps Clicking Noise on Start up

    The a/c had about 10-15 clicking sounds every time I start up my car (taken in the uploaded video). I am guessing that it should be caused by a faulty cold/hot air blend door motor or by just a stuck blend door. I am going to buy the right parts before I take out the central console and the trim...

    Thanks so much, DJAlix. I found your detailed explanation to SWaP in another thread on sat nav. Officially Audi needs to activate and licence the software via the online network by plugging the car in and then registering x2 product codes on the system and then x4 licence codes to the car...

I hurts when my car got scratched. I think the matrix headlight is able to shine the road and flash indicator lights just as good...
