Well, my initial thought on this is that you've just been charged the "fob off" tax.


If you're really concerned about this, I suggest you ask your dealer for the part number(s) and software details for this new module, and then post that info here. We'll then try to track down the details (using ETKA or erWin possibly), and find out if there really is a separate controller or not.

I'm a huge stickler for warranty, OEM, and doing things by the book. But in this case, I'm sure it's all above board.

Thanks so much Adam for offering to do this, yeah that was my initial thought too "fob me off".
I did phone service dept back this morning requesting part no and name of software, waiting on call back when service
manager gets back to workshop.
Will post info once I receive it.
Gotta say here, that you guys make being a part of this forum worth while and thanks for the amount of support
and very informative advise you contribute to us all

No worries mate. Unfortunately my copy of ETKA lunched itself and I had to remove it (and don't currently have access to the disc), but I'm sure there'll be several very knowledgeable members on here (Maverick, coreying, Ozram to name but three) who may well be able to help out with the info you're after.

It would also be good if a member with a VAG-COM and a 2010 build GTI could post the details on their central electrics module as reported in VCDS, as a point of comparison. Here's an example taken from the first post in the VWVortex thread by a US GTI owner:

Address 09: Cent. Elect. (J519) Labels: 1K0-937-08x-09.clb
Part No SW: 1K0 937 087 F HW: 1K0 937 087 F
Component: BCM PQ35 H 103 0575
Revision: 00103 AG
Coding: 69180A3E90272AC40008008170000D0445050086534D8D6064 8020200000
Shop #: WSC 93007 999 58668

Part No: 1K1 955 119 F
Component: Wischer 08011 21 0512
Coding: 009795

And on that, if an R owner could possibly do the same, including the Coding string that reveals the value of byte 18 for the central electrics module, that'd also be interesting, as the R ships to Australia with LEDs factory fitted.

These must be the other OEM LED's on GTI's overseas:

Hard to believe they are genuine lights as they look a bit tacky, but maybe it's just a bad photo.

[Corey_R]

They are not OEM at all....

Dectane are an aftermarket LED specialist in Germany

And they look fricken awful IMO

My bad, thought they were the same as the link I posted earlier (but assume those aren't OEM either).

Golf 6 Autobahnracer LED taillights, red/crystal

I agree though they are very poxy like what you'd see on a Mazda.

Hey the OEM LED GTI lights, look exactly the same as the R lights, only difference is the cover on the R is a darker smoky red, whereas the GTI has a normal bright red.

You know the front of that car doesn't look too bad. Sort of going forth Audi look. But yeah not feeling those rears at this point

[jeeteeay]
