    506.1 oil is VW spec, dealer sold, running on extended service intervals (30,000 - 50,000km / 24 months).

    Doesn't happen with an oiler.

    That doesn't make sense, and is not true. What trailer control module? The LED connector? Nothing needs to be "coded", if the wiring is done correctly.

    Given a wheel size and vehicle model, measure from the centre of one stud to an adjacent stud.

    It's 85mm for a 19" Touareg, for example.

    That will tell the wheel guy if its 5 x 120 or 5 x 130....

    Nope, that's dealer nonsense.

    The intermediate LED 'black box' is the trick for LEDs; or an electric braking setup for towing - I have both.
