- NOTE: This part might not work for some 2018 models so I'd recommended checking your original switch the make sure it matches the one shown in the video.
If you would like to pick up one of these switches here is a link to the part you need:
www.ebay.co.uk...
This is a quick and cheap upgrade for any vw up! (Not just the GTI) I'm prone to accidently leaving my headlights on during the day so having this installed is a big help for me and I'm sure it will benefit other vw up! owners out there.
If you found this helpful please like and subscribe as this motivates me to make more videos.
Lets get to 300 subs in April!!!
Useful trick for the future, just push in the light knob and turn to the sidelights position then the whole thing just slides out 👍
That’s good to know, thank you!
Superb tip, worked like a charm. Thanks Ruairidh 👍🏻😊👍🏻
This works for both stock and OEM switches, I've got the same on my Leon.
Yep just push in and turn the switch it's out
My switch has jammed 😮
But be carefull with the light switch. The older UPs have a different switch as is shown in the video. Befor you buy a switch, look after the plug in your UP.
Yup just cost me, link doesn't fit my 2018 Tsi
Can someone help me, I am searching for a auto switch that is compatible for a vw up from 2014. 17 pins plug.
Did you find a solution? Am locking for one for that pre facelift model as well
Could anyone tell me please if the new switch will fit my 2012 Take up!?
You can get the older ones made for a mk4 golf
Just fitted mine just wondering does headlight symbol come up on display when there turned on as mine doesn't but the lights are one and clocks light is on 🤔
Ordered from the link, went to fit it today but its not compatible with my 2018 model. Looking into it now it appears theres a change in switch part way through 2018 although mine does look like the one on the left hand side on the video picture which is a bit misleading. Anyway all I can say is best removing the whole thing first to check first if your going to do this. Anything 2017 or older the part WONT fit, anything 2019 onwards will probably fit, anything in between is guess work and will definatety need checking first.
Apologise if my video was misleading. This was never my intention and have made changes to the video title and description so I hope this never happens to anyone else.
@@RicsCars thanks for the reply, it is a decent video that's better than I've done & with good intent on genuine enthusiasm to improve your car and I applaud that.
I was a bit miffed I can't deny that, however you can't be blamed for any exclusions as specifics of car components change all the time.
It was up to me to check specifics before attempting this and was lashing out with my comment in frustration. Anyway no harm done.
Have a good day fella and be assured there's no bad feelings, I apologise to you also if I caused any bad feelings ✌️
@@stephenowens5375 Your comment was vailed and I'm happy to receive constructive criticism so thank you for that!
Flick from auto to headlights then back to auto(with key in ignition) and that enables leaving home feature. Then flick from auto to 0 back to auto to enable tunnel mode. Do this in almost one motion (not too slow).
Now take key out of ignition and flick from auto to 0 and back to auto (x2) (but fairly fast) to set the duration of the coming/leaving home feature (it should have flashed twice). Then switch to 0 and a timer would have started in the ECU of the light module. You can choose the duration of how long you want the lights to be on during welcome/leaving feature up to 60 seconds. Then after the time you chose (I waited 30s) switch to auto and it should work.
This worked for my car. Also bought my module on eBay so maybe it’ll work for yours. Hope this helps 🌟
Was your car an up gti too? Can you do your own video?
Hi Ricky, just got an up Gti and I’m loving your channel 😎
This will be one of my first mods 👍🏼
Is this kit the same as the Golf mk5/6?
Keep the videos coming buddy. They are great 👍🏼
I thought the car had some sort of lightsensor actually. Since if you only have parking lights on, and are in sun, the speedometer etc is lit up, but when it gets dark the speedometer gets dark if you dont turn on the headlights.
Bought this from some place as you, was really helpful watching your video! Took 5 minutes to fit and working perfectly! Thanks so much 🙏
Cheers Ricky just did mine and ordered the same part for my VW Up TSI. Very easy job to do thanks to your tutorial mate!
The link doesn’t work 🥲I wanted to get one for mine
Try it now, I've updated it
Does it comes with coming/leaving home feature?
I Don't think so but for £20 can't really complain
Does it support Škoda Citigo?
Will this work on a 2013 up Rock. I contacted a seller on eBay and he said it wont fit. I assume they are all the same switch in the VAG group.
If it looks the same as it does in the video it should be fine. Might be best to remove the current one to check its the same before buying
@@RicsCars it's only £20, if it doesn't work, I'll sell on. Cheers.
Did you find it out? Have the same question for my Up from 2013
I'm finding it really hard to remove the unit is there any other idea u may have plz
With the original switch, push the dial inwards and twist clockwise, then pull the switch out. That's the easiest way of doing it.
Cannot remove mine easily
