It's easy with VCDS, it only takes the dealer 2 minutes. If they're nice they'll do it for free when it's next in. Get the auto unlocking done uswel.

It's about sixty seconds' work.
If possible, find someone who has vcds near you. If it's too far in terms of petrol/time, then use the dealer.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I'm glad someone brought this up as i have been meaning to ask about this. When i first picked my car up in September mine used to autolock itself but for some reason now it doesn't?

Is it something i have done?.

condensation in light units should not be coverd under warranty. Its a natural phonemnon which knowone can do anything about.
