VCDS For 6R Polo (primarily GTI)

[gavs]

Needle Sweep:
Found under instruments, known as "Staging". Controller unavailable on my specific GTI. Apparently only available on the GTI instument cluster...
Door auto lock at 15kph: Have tried and activated relevant module, not happening
Hatch auto lock at 15 KPH: See above
Comfort indicater: flash count changed from 3 flashes to 4, found under the "comfort" measuring block

[gavs]

just as a follow up, found that my car had the wrong software installed for all the comfort and convenience control module, possibly could explain why certain things didn't happen when activated....

Hi everyone - I'm new to VW Polo ownership - is turning door and hatch auto lock something my local dealer can do on my Polo GTI or do I have to take it to a tuner with the VCDS package?

Dealer can do it (should be at no charge)

Got a few good ones here, especially for the GTI owners out there!

In VCDS Select Control Module, go to 03 ABS Brakes, then 10 Adaptation, go to Channel:

Channel 09 Brake Assist
There are 3 settings for this
0-center (stock setting)
1-small
2-hard

The stock setting is 0, change it to 2 and this makes the brake pedal more responsive to smaller inputs. Feels more positive in use, especially under enthusiastic motoring.

Channel 36 XDS
There are 3 settings
0-center (stock setting)
1-weak
2-strong

Change this from 0 to 2 and this one mod alone apparently makes the Polo into a different/better beast under hard driving.

Seems more planted around bends and that much better to push through the corner on exit. This mod comes with a five thumbs up...

Nice work, gavs! Will you/ have you changed your software, given they installed the wrong stuff?

Also, is it just me? Isn't making 0 the middle setting on those controls ridiculous? Logically, 0 should provide weakest settings, 1 centre and 2 hard. That was my assumption when I read your braking thread in the Polo 6r section. Thanks for referring me here.

[Umai Naa!!]

As with all VW's programming logic, Zero is always the default setting.

Yes, I had the proper software installed at another dealership, they are the ones that picked it up when I found I had mental climatronic.

hmmm...hooked the VCDS cable up today to the Polo.

Scan reports no Gateway!!!!
Can't access any of the modules (well I can, but comes back with the Windows based "BA-BOW" and a dialogue box that says No Gateway or similar)

HELP
