Leaving home lights activated (Even tho i dont have auto lights - Lights must be switched in the on position)
Coming home light time changed
Seatbelt chime disabled

And still playing.....

Ermm how? And is it possible on pre-fl? Also is it legal?

:D

I think it is possible on a pre-fl, but differant. When enabled at first you get the side lights front and rear on. With pre-fl I believe in Module 09 you yave an option for Scandanavian or South American. Default is Scandanavian, hence the rear lights.
Then in Byte 14 Bit 1 - if You change it to 1 = DRL via fog lights.

Legal I'm not 100% sure, DRLs should be in pairs and no lower than 250mm which the fog lights are. Cars like the mini and Fiat 500 use a seperate light below the bumper.

Think it will fail MOT, so just disable them for MOT time ;)

Yea, I can turn them off /onwith the Main Beam/Indicator stalk like you can if you have DRLs with Factory Xenon lights (enabled with vag com to). They also work correctly and go it when the lights are on. :D

Well I now have a magic opening boot now. Anyone that is thinking of doing it then it really is easy only takes 5 mins. I got two struts from an Octavia off a chap on eBay for just over £10 so not even expensive

All I did was search ebay for 'octavia breaking' and emailed a few people and then chose the cheapest. I can remember who I bought them off sorry but I go loads of replies

I think mine were from a 97 Octavia but I might be wrong. They are definitely from an old one though. Not surround what mk number they are on but look for them from an old one

That'll be a mk1 then :thumbup:

1U6 827 550f -515nm
1U6 827 550e -470nm

550e may be to weak - I got 550f on mine.
There is plenty of octavia hatchbacks at breakers all over the place and usually struts aren't that popular - I guess with Seat Leon owners sniffing the deal they will go up in value.

Hi there
mine is working fine but having windows 7, it will only work with the 10.6 version. It allows me full access but when using the long coding, it doesn't bring up the options to tick that the older versions did with the long code helper

any ideas to get around this ?

I have to launch the long coder then cancel it and launch it again to get the label files work.

you need two struts. One will skoda and one leon won't open the boot.

Just ring breakers yards and see if they have skoda octavia hatchbacks
