Off to mess about with VCDS settings today. That anti-hijack setting for the doors annoys me, so will be the first thing to get turned off!

cool some good thing you can do with it happy playing

Yep, just been playing and......

Turned off the anti-hijack setting so all the doors and boot open/lock with one plip of the remote.
Enabled the unlock/lock beep confirmation, so the car now beeps twice to open and once to lock.
Turned off the annoying bonging sound for the seatbelt warning sensor (not checked it yet though)

Tried the needle sweep on start-up, but still doesn't work

Anything else you found with VCDS? I couldn't find many things

I activated the anti hijack as I think its good. The vRS has the needle sweep activated from std.

Do you have the oil temp gauge on your MFD? The cupras don't have that option at all, glad mine does otherwise id have never known about the high oil tempe

What are we considering to be high Oil temps .... I was regularly seeing over 100 on spirited drives, changed the oil at 6k myself and noticed that the temps only get above 100 now if im really trying for now on.

Wouldn't be surprised if there was some cheap oil in there from the factory ....

On track I was getting 125-130° after 4 laps which is about the maximum you could go before losing viscisity thys lubrication.

I'm now using Motul 300V oil which is used in race applications and can sustain much higher temps than oem fluid

Wouldn't be surprised if there was some cheap oil in there from the factory ....

Not only the factory, seems the dealerships here also fill up with the same cheap crap. Many of us who have drained and flushed our oil systems and replaced with better quality oil are not experiencing oil consumption issues.

Hurdy, the needle sweep falls under "staging" under the extended options for "instruments", however, when the update to the MED 17.5 ECU occured, this feature is no longer available. Unless you feel like rewritting the long coding to try and get it working, but you will need to get into the ECU to try and make that happen....

Interesting about your lack of oil consumption, it's good to hear

Other things that can be changed:
Convenience indicator can be increased from 3 flashes
Use of the remote to open / close windows and sunroof if fitted

That's all I know of so far...

Mobil 1 oil for me....protects instantly and the viscosity is higher which helps with both oil consumption and maintains protection at higher temps.

Yeah, when I went into instruments module to change it the message just says error.

I've seen the other settings already and already have the remote opening/closing windows function active. The convenience indicator is set to 3, but I may well up that to five.

I do have a 29 page PDF file for the new Ibiza that uses all the same settings and can change everything from voice control to cruise control. It is on my IPad, but if you want it I can find a link out for you in the afternoon (midnight here at the moment!).

Could you pm me that pdf please

i got the chance a while back and changed a couple of things i.e got rid of the kph .changed the wiper settings so i get the extra 1 wipe a few seconds after they finish, and i now have 5 flashes on my indicators not the normal 3 .
