I know, meant to say i have both, bought the rotary first; then just bought a DAS; following advise from a detailler who lives not too far from me, and also advice from detailing world and clean your car forums.

Re: VCDS

Try and see if it works first. I know a lot of people have made comments about the aftermarket stereo issue. I haven't come across this problem yet.

I'd plug it in and see if it scans first before worrying.

Yes they are, but that's not the problem. At night, when the the lights are on the passengers side doesn't come on.

Need Help!! Parking Light not coming on, not fuse!

Hi all,

I have a problem with my car, the parking lights will not come on when i switch on the lights, I replaced the fuse yesterday and it still isn't working.

Although if i leave the indicator on and take out the key, it will come on. All the fuses on the drivers side are ok.

Any ideas?

Re: when i clean the TB do i need vagcom to reset anything

i think it depends on what year your car is. if it is an early one, pre 1999 i think then it's got a throttle cable. You can reset the TB by planting your foot down on the pedal, turn the ignition on (not start) and count to 20. If it is a drive-by-wire (later models, after 1999) you might need vag-...

Re: "Black Mamba" Build thread

On a positive note, I've managed to change my key from the banjo style to the flip key. It still needs to be coded to the car but the remote opens and locks the doors. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h290/obi-osaks/Wagon%20Mafia/IMG-20130319-00120_zpse334bfea.jpg Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Re: 1998 b5 remote locking

Yeah, brand new key, had the key cut with my banjo style as the template, so it opens the doors and unlocks the ignition but will not start the car.

Re: 1998 b5 remote locking

Key arrived, tried to program it, managed to get the remote working, but it won start the car. It's got a new chip so I thought the programming would have done the immobiliser.

Any thoughts?

I think we need to have stricter rules as it will help reduce the problems we have had in the past. Other forums do it and succeed so why cant we?
