Mk7 Golf TSI & TDI - Observations and Questions

Good luck finding anything about it in the manual, but probably something got its legs crossed and the error vanished when the car was restarted.

Ah Yep ended up finding the info last night. As mentioned when I started the car the next time it was gone and cruise control worked fine. Thanks for the replies

Hey guys. I have my wifey's golf 7 highline wagon booked in tomorrow for a TPI (low rev whistle-replace corrugated charcoal canister filter...). When the car was originally booked in for this work to be completed, the service tech stated that this job would take 3+ hours to complete. I was talking to a friend about this and he said it could be done in 15 minutes. Could someone confirm this, or provide a more accurate timeframe for this task?

Cheers in advance.

Hi All

Do you guys know if all Golf 7 TSI Highline have a warning light for low washer fluid?

I do not have xenon headlights.

I don't seem to have one.

My local VW dealer looked up the VIN and told me that the vehicle was not fitted with one.

Much Appreciated.

adcha: Very good question! I just looked at the VW brochure and it doesn't mention it. Why not keep operating the washer stalk on the steering wheel until the container is empty and see if you get a warning light on the dash?

Hi

It does not, but I wanted to know if anyone here with a Golf 7 Tsi has one.

I cannot believe that a golf 7 highline does not have one. It does not make sense.

I can confirm that my TSI Highline with Xenons does.

zardoz: Your are correct! I just checked with some VW information that I have and it seems that those models that come factory fitted with xenon do have the washer fluid level sensor installed. It's probably because these models have washer jets for the xenon lamps. Washer jets are an EU requirement- not sure about the ADRs here in Oz. My TSI (like adcha) doesn't have the sensor.

Anyway, for those that want to install the additional kit, here's a wiring diagram and the pertinent VCDS tweak. As you can see it's a fairly simple job (electrically), but a quick look in the engine bay on my car suggests that physically installing the new bottle (with sensor) might be a bit tricky. Looks like you need to remove the bumper cover, perhaps the wheel well trim and maybe the LH headlight assembly. Not sure that it's worth it (for me).

Hey guys,

just bought a 2015 90 tsi in manual. Just wondering if there is a way i can go from halogen to HID without coding / errors? i see on ebay there are some "bi xnenon " units but i dont actually understand what that is?

- any intakes / bov's that are available for non gti's? i know this is considered a "boy-racer" modification but just wondering.
