Hello NewtonMeter!!

I just got a 2014 model (I know I got the last year's model but I got a hefty discount for that) VW POLO 1.5 TDi and I am wondering if you could help me with some of the VCDS mods like the needle sweep, emergency brake flashing etc. I stay in Sec.46 Gurgaon by the way.

I would appreciate if you could help me sometime. Have a nice weekend!

Here's how to do it first:

Hi Gannu,

So this can work only on the GTI cluster and not on the MFD provided on the facelift GT? Thanks.

Hi Gannu. read a lot about your expertise w.r.t the VCDS. Need your help. I bought the VCDS from Aliexpress and it has the 12.12 software. My OCTY is the 2015 model. The VCDS says its for cars upto 2014. Will it work on this my15 edition octy?

It should work, because your Octavia, though built in 2015, was released in 2013, and that model year is what the VCDS is referring to.

This needs a maxidot cluster's MFD for the additional information to be displayed. Not available on the stock cluster's MFD AFAIK.

It should work. The latest VCDS software version is 14.12 but the Aliexpress cables would work with the 12.12 versions without a fuss. A friend used the cable with his new Octavia TDI Ambiente 2 weeks back. So go ahead.

Bought the rosstech cable, decided to purchase the genuine one after some deliberation. Thought of spending money on the diagnostics tool first before spending money on mods.

Wise choice I'd say Sankar. Ross Tech's support is very good and prompt. How much did you pay for the cable?

Its $350 for the hexcan USB and i bought the right angle obd extention also from them as it looked like a quality item. Swift's obd port became loose after many in & outs and don't want that to happen in the polo. My order has not yet been procesed due to the holidays last week, their system is manual not automated. Hope to get their update tonight.

HI guys!!!

I have a Octavia3 2014 and have just swapped out the fog lights with HID zenon H11 bulbs from Phillips, and I must say they are cool!. I have changed the coding via VCDS for the below:
(1)-Leuchte12NL LB45-Lasttyp 12 (FOG left inner) from “10 - allgemeine Scheinwerfer” to 6 – LED Lichtmodul
(1)-Leuchte13NL RB5-Lasttyp 13 (FOG right inner) from “10 - allgemeine Scheinwerfer” to 6 – LED Lichtmodul
(1)-Leuchte8FL LB39-Lasttyp 8 (FOG left outer) from “10 - allgemeine Scheinwerfer” to 6 – LED Lichtmodul
(1)-Leuchte9FL RB2-Lasttyp 9 (FOG right outer) from “10 - allgemeine Scheinwerfer” to 6 – LED Lichtmodul

So after this when i put my fog lights on..I do not get an error. But in Auto mode, when the cornering lights are activvated in a turn, the error is displayed "check left/right fog light"
I have see the post "Octavia III VCDS Adaptations - tried and tested" and people talk about a inner bulb and an outer bulb, I have just ONE bulb per fog light.

How do I remove the error when the cornering lights are used?? Please help

Isn't it 14.10.2? I updated my VCDS few days back. Just checked the version and it says 14.10.2. Tried update option from within the software once again but it says there are no updates available at the moment.

The coding is for Octavia III VRS fog lights with separate bulbs for fog and static cornering. You said your Octavia has only single bulb which means your fog lamp functions as static cornering lamps when you put the switch in Auto mode.

Since you did coding for 4 lamps, your module is throwing a lamp error as it cannot find the 2 separate cornering lamps (since you coded all 4 lamps, car will expect separate cornering lamps) for static cornering when you turn the wheels at low speed with HL switch in auto mode. When you turn on fog light, it is detecting fog lights and hence not throwing an error.

Out of the 4 lights you coded, 2 will have to be de-selected if that option is there in one of the long coding helper pages. There might be an option which says "Separate Cornering Lights Installed" which will need to be de-selected. It could even be mentioned as "Fog lights as Cornering Lights" which will need to be selected. These might not be the exact words mentioned there. When you go page by page in the CECM long coding helper, one such option will be available in somewhat these lines which will give you the option to select/de-select what you have in your car (In this case, fog lights to function as static cornering lights). You just have to find that option. With the VCDS plugged into the car, it could be pin pointed. But right now, I can only guide you this way as I cannot see what exact options are available in the long coding helper of CECM module of your car.

Fuel to be replenished activated in my GT TDI on stock cluster. Its now showing 20 Liters.


Needle sweep

Also made other changes which has been previously mentioned in this thread. I wish the TDI had more controllers to play with Anyone know the security access code for ABS module? I wanted to try out a few things but the 12345 code isn't working. Using 14.10.2 of VCDS with genuine ross-tech cable.

[Gannu_1]

Very nice! So refuel quantity works with the new clusters. I am a wee bit hopeful it works with the older red backlit MFD clusters as well.

Sankar could you please check if the windshield wiper fluid low warning turns on as well? I have posted the link on the DIY thread. You need to enable the option on VCDS, turn off the car, take the key out, slot in the key and turn the key to ACC on, wait for 20-30 seconds for the warning to show up. Since the circuit isn't completed, the warning should show up if the cluster supports it. Do keep us posted!

Sankar, Glad to know that this feature can be activated in the updated versions. Can you please share the codings to be done in the VCDS?
