Had to call into the VW garage a couple of weeks ago as I had misplaced the locking nut fitting. Whilst I was in they had an offer to setup the auto locking when the car reached 5-10 mph for £20.
Have had this set up on all previous cars and yes I know that it is only a 2min job for VW to do but decided to get them to set it up.
When they returned the car they stated that the car needed a sofware update and arrange for this to be carried out at a later date. Any way the locking was sorted and as per normal when driving the lights carried on as normal switching on and off at strange intervals.

However VW collected the car from my work late last week and updated the software and cleaned the inside and outside of the car all for free and he presto my lights now seem to be operating in a normal fashion, if it dark they come on and if not they are off.

Not sure if it is my imagination but has this update sorted the proble????

I can also now agree with another post now as I have noticed that should my foot accidentally press to hard to the floor and the speed happen to creep above 80 Yes the lights will now switch on wnatever the lighting condition

But as stated in another post this would not happen very often....

Please stick to the speed limit.....I ALWAYS do
