Its also pretty easy to get to the module to change it, theres just a few screws to remove (some are under the centre dash trim). What really confused me is that my module happily accepted the coding, so I dont think I would ever have figured that a new module was needed.

Good luck with yours

I fitted the new central elec module. I had to recode it, but all is working as it should! It's very handy having fully automatic lights again.

Ok, so apparently if you replace the J519 Central elec module, you have to run through a basic settings thing for the power steering column adjustment. Mine decided it would only go up 10mm and it wouldn't self lift when exiting the car.

I know the column is fine as it adjusts all the other ways. And it does lower and lift, just only 10mm.

Anyone else had to do this?

I have not but I have heard of coloums that stop working for no apparent reason that are remedied by doing the basic setting.

I haven't noticed it doing this, but I don't really pay attention to the steering column.

I'll have a look at it this afternoon to see if mines the same

The basic adjustment reset for the J519 sorted it.

The column now has all the travel back.

I love the VCDS system!!
