UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hey you all! My little Blue-GT-swapped Polo recently survived a small 2500 km road trip through the southern parts of Germany. A nice opportunity to take some pretty pictures. Please ignore the absolute humongous amount of dirt on it! :D

Also, it was a good way to test it ...

Automatic headlight range control now working!

I am happy to announce that my headlight range control is now working flawlessly.
As a recap: some time ago I swapped my H4 headlights for OEM 6C LED headlights. For the automatic range control I used the control module 6R0907357 like in a xenon Polo ...

Good luck with loading the proper parameters (Tiny-Q) for the ALWR unit, the headlights do a down/up check every time you turn on the ignition (+15).


I really hope it works... it has bothered me way too long now.
But how does the check work actually? Because on my car, the check only happens ...

Okay, now back to the good old problems. First: the engine.

Problem #1: Fault code P164C00
I still get the P164C00 fault from time to time. It reports a Implausible Signal from the Oil Pressure Switch for reduced Oil Pressure. And I still don't really get why. The only consistency I noticed is the ...

Alrighty, back again. :D

A little update about the state of my car. First of all: I finally got my bumper covers back from painting. Now I ask myself why the frick I didn't convert to R Line sooner.

And yes, I am very aware that it really needs the highline 6C ...

Is the control module you use a 6R0907357 or is it a 6R0907357C?
I have the one without the index. Is it possible to flash the parameter file TinyQ developed for the ...C variant onto the non-indexed variant? I would probably rent or even buy a VCP for that undertaking

Might very well be the case. Is there a way to change it with VCDS? And if yes, what do I change it to?

Hi! Here's a little update from my car...

First of all: I finally got my MOT scheduled for thursday, so it's getting real. I got the start-stop-button working and my instrument cluster is now showing when my engine goes into the 2-cylinder-mode.
Thus, there are two problems remaining, that I hope ...

Concerning the start-stop-button I still haven't found the solution. Start-Stop itself is working on the other hand, so I might just procrastinate on that problem a little bit. For the technical inspection it just has to work at all.


Wrong. I couldn't leave it alone. And it turns out I'm an ...

A few days later, and nothing changed. Well, that's not completely true. I fixed a knocking in the steering assembly (it turned out we forgot to tighten the nuts of the tie rod ends... whoops :lol: ), also I installed the underbody covers and fiddled a bit with the exhaust, so that it doesn't touch ...

Well, looks very much like a waste of time it was...
Since I fiddled around with the ABS coding a little bit, start-stop miraculously started working. Funny enough however: My deactivation button does not work. As pointed out in one of my previous posts, the wiring diagram is just wrong concerning ...

You are absolutely right, thanks for reminding me! :lol:

Now one of the only remaining things to rectify before I can bring my car to its technical inspection is to get the start-stop system working.
As of now, everytime I start the car, the instrument cluster tells me "Fault: Start-Stop". The ...

Also, there are some faults I cannot make sense of, so I hope you all can:
1. When the engine is running (and only then) I have the following fault codes (please excuse my use of OBD11, my VCDS-laptop is broken-ish):

P11AB00 - Cam Shift Actuator "B" Cylinder 3 Circuit/Open
static
P11A700 - Cam ...

Thanks! That has got to be it!
Sadly, there are no labels in VCDS for the adaption channels, so I just guessed and changed the following:
Ch 1: 0 -> 1
Ch 2: 0 -> 1 (I installed one of these coombined rain and moisture sensors ages ago together with my high beam assist conversion)
Ch 3: 1 -> 0
Ch 4 ...

Update number 29401ß0348?
It runs! And pretty good actually! I am absolutely over the moon and have a massive smile on my face since the time I twisted the keys. :D

Now the annoying bits: Ironing out all the little remaining faults:
- Basic setting of the steering angle sensor. I had this problem ...
