what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[Craig.]

Found some more spare time today so swapped out the grubby coolant reservoir for a new one without the bag of misery LOL

That wasn't what I was talking about. You connected the taillight in the tailgate to the taillight in the body, right?

For indicator only, yes

So double the load on one channel?

It's a load reduction, channel was incandescent, now LED

 

[cairus]

That doesn't mean anything. If you change the load medium, a different part of the circuit becomes active. There might be too much load in that part. But just have fun.

@Craig.

This isn't a joke. Have you ever wondered why the LED dimming value is 127?

@Craig.

This isn't a joke. Have you ever wondered why the LED dimming value is 127?

Dimming value sets the PWM duty cycle. 127 means that the signal is no longer PWM but "always on". That's why LEDs are "squeaking" when dimming value is not set to 127.

About connecting those tailights I think that @Craig. is right. LEDs draws much less current than incandescent light and this should not be a problem.

If you change the load medium, a different part of the circuit becomes active.

You have a different measuring bridge compared to a halogen one. As correctly stated, because different currents flow. Or how do you think it detects whether an LED is functioning correctly or incorrectly?

Probably you are right. But as long as it will be coded close to the current state (there are tons of Lasttyp values) it should not be a problem.

I'm just pointing it out. That's all I was concerned about.

Side note, my brother is a chip developer and layouter in the automotive sector

Good job! Did you overfill it, or was just during bleeding?

Activ TPMS

 

[cairus]

So, coding completed, sensors in the vehicle, check to see if everything is working. The module is installed in the trunk.

Quite dull but added an OEM Isofix bracket to my Cupra passenger side bucket seat so my youngest can ride up front in her new seat

Launch of the 12-channel PLA project

 

[tracktoy]

Took the car out for a drive and the dog to the beach for a walk

Then fitted new solenoid for the petrol tank as the old one had finally given up.

One question does anybody know if the overflow pipe just hangs loose at the bottom of the wheel arch or is it supposed to be connected to something.

Probably you don’t need my help, but if you will stuck on something then let me know. Did it over year ago and works great

If you mean the drain pipe that sits outside the fuel filler cap but inside the fuel flap then it's a water/moisture drain and should drain to the ground
