Not 100% sure it's on the MK5 but was on my MK2 Leon which shares the same platform so...

Brake Disc Wipers - when it's raining and the wipers are on the brakes are automatically applied to the discs at set intervals to clear any water film.  The result is increased brake efficiency in the wet.

Wow that's cool how does that work do the pads touch the discs ever so slightly??

thats impressive

I don't think this feature made it onto the mk5, but certainly did on the mk6... when I had my R, I saw the option in long coding; not the case on my R32

Another handy feature which requires coding is if the windows are down, car locked and the auto rain / light sensor is on - if it rains the sensor detects that and automatically closes the windows!!

the alarm would go off if it was locked with the windows open?

If you have volumetric alarm sensors if they sense movement the alarm will go off. For example, if you put your hand inside.

The rain closing function will close all windows, even the sunroof. :smiley:

If press the alarm button twice it disables the interior sensor and keeps the perimeter armed so the windows can stay open - that's my understanding of that feature.

Interesting features on the MKV Golf


•Climate control system switches into recirculated air mode when reverse is selected and when you activate the wipers to prevent exchaust gas and the smell of the windscreen cleaner from being distributed in the cabin.

I thought I was going mad!  Could never figure out what the noise was when I use the windscreen washers.

I don't believe this is correct; if you lock the car and press the lock button twice within a second or two, the deadlocks will be disabled. To deactivate the interior sensors, there is a button on the drivers' door pillar  :happy2:

A hidden function of the dual temperature climatronic system:
1  Hold down 'ECON' and press the 'up vent' button (it's next to recirculation).  Release both buttons when both temp displays show zero. 
2  Turn the left temp knob until the display on that side shows 19.0
3  Turn the fan knob until the left temp display shows 19'1.

The temp display on the driver's side is now a digital speedometer reading in mph.

Using the same method, you can enter the codes below for other readings:
1'0  Interior temperature (as detected by the sensor located in the fan speed knob)
1'4  Interior light intensity (measured by sensor in same location)
4'0  External temp (front bumper sensor)
4'1  External temp (roof) - no, I don't know where that one's hidden!
4'2  External temp (rear bumper)
15'0  Oil temperature
19'0  Speed (km/h)
19'1  Pay attention - that's explained above.
19'2  Coolant temp
19'3  Rev counter (x100rpm)
19'4  Oil pressure
25'0  Voltage

Here's how to reset to normal operation:

Press 'ECON' twice.

That will come in useful.
Going to try that later because mine blows different temps from drivers to  passenger side.

How did you realise that you had different temperatures?  I've got a mental image of you sitting on the armrest with a foot in each footwell!
