The 'I didn't know it had that' thread

Do you know all the little extras that you have?

Here's my two;

Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) - basic traction control system that works up to 40km/h using the ABS to attempt to reduce wheelspin.

Adaptable intermittent wiper delay - to set the delay, turn on the intermittent wipers and turn them off. Turn them back on again after a suitable period of time. Intervals of 1 to 22 seconds can be set.

the wiper one is handy as mine are at the point where you always get that feelin of flicking the setting up one.

[mike 6]

i think the wiper one is a bit pointless lol...

mines:

the ability to do 103mph in 3rd!

Is that on all VR6's? Or just ODB2? If it's on all of them, mine doesn't work!

All of them, AFAIK. It's not terribly effective, as mentioned above, but you can sometimes hear it working when you pull off on a greasy surface.

Didn't know about this but must have set them to a long delay by mistake as they take ages - so thanks very much mate

Odd. They reset themselves to 6 seconds as soon as the ignition is turned off.

Oh well must be just me then !! probably only is 6 seconds just feels like longer - too impatient even wih my wipers

Just to make sure you all know that you can open and close all the windows and sunroof with key by holding it in the lock or open postion.

the esp on my v6 bora can apply the brakes to either 1,2,3 of all 4 wheels independently to correct a skid under over steer over 20mph also the haldex system can apply torqus to the rear wheels in a 10th of a second

Alright, here's another one...

The headlight switch lights up with the lights off, so you can find it in the dark.

(this is relevant to a Mk3 Golf VR6, BTW - could or could not apply to others!)

iv only had my vr6 a few weeks and iv no idea how to get the rear wiper to stop. so how the feck do you get it to stop??? it drives me mental.

[Phat VR6 3]

[pimpcat 0]

Set if off again - push it once to make it start and the second time to make it stop

[Guy 1]

With the rear wiper,........ if the first time you use it2 you keep it pushed away for over 2 seconds ie use the washer then it will wipe a couple of times then park and not intermitant wipe so you dont have to keep pressing it to stop it.

Try it you might like it !!

[daleyboyVR6 6]

That rear wipe thing has had me confused for ages................................... :-p
