QUOTE(jwrx @ Jul 7 2011, 10:23 AM) it will take a looong time and alot more VW owners b4 it starts filtering down to the aunties and uncles at coffee shops that Conti does not mean expensive service yes, car can be coded for DRL on only and no rear lights. but i doubt most VW SC will know how to do it. Aaah....means we have to cari places like EM to do?

QUOTE(Mavik @ Jul 7 2011, 08:57 AM) What do you mean by turning off the rear tailights with DRL on? I meant that both the rear lights and LED DRL will switch on at the same time. Not like Audi or others, only the DRL is ON but the rear lights are off. QUOTE(jwrx @ Jul 7 2011, 10:23 AM) yes, car can be coded for DRL on only and no rear lights. but i doubt most VW SC will know how to do it. Hmmm ... shows their competency on this matter .... maybe when change to LED (if got budget) can do the coding ...

QUOTE(ferio94eg9 @ Jul 7 2011, 12:32 PM) They will pump in the same EO for the GTI. If you do it outside, for example, Exquisite Marques, they use Castrol Edge instead. I have known other GTI owners who use Torco or Liqui Moly as well for their EO.

Yeah, rite. Melvin from EM has the DRL coded on on and LED taillight off FOC. I saw him did it like a minute job. He refused to let me have the "bong" on seat belt sign off. Professional and ethical.

Professional and ethical.  its not rocket science, anyone with a vagcomm can code out the seat belt bong, pity i sold my vagcomm..otherwise can do Bong coding at RM15 a go what u can do is get the long coding...next time u are at EM.....get them to scan for fault codes, while scanning, "borrow" the laptop and just punch in the long coding for Bong delete...hehe
