Tracking infoShoppinit wrote:Right, this is what you do:
Ignition on
Press and hold recirculate (the top one)
Press and release the up arrow (vents)
You should see C on the left display and 06 on the right. Or similar numerical value.
Use the driver's passenger side temp +/- buttons to navigate to channel 34 and press recirc to select. On the right the coolant temp will be displayed.

Headlight adjustment procedure with Vagcom / VCDS - Xenon Range
Shoppinit wrote: 1. Connect to xenon range (55)
2. Go to basic settings
3. Select group 001 then GO. It'll say 'adjust headlights' or something similar in the measuring blocks
4. Physically adjust the headlights (obviously you need the proper gear for this and the car needs to be level)
5. Go to group 002 and GO
6. You're done.
