Newbie with a strange problem
« on: July 15, 2012, 02:02:43 pm »
Hi Guys and Girls.

Have just become the very proud owner of a MK5 GTI DSG Golf.  I love the car in every way except for one problem and i wonder if anyone can help?  The car has factory fit Xenon lights and I cannot turn them off at all, except for when set to sidelights, which will just have sides on.  Even in the Off position they won't switch off.  I have had it plugged in to a diagnostic system and it can't be reset within the system.  It's driving me mad and i wonder is there a system i've missed for switching them off?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

I take it there are no faults logged?

Might need to check the coding for the Rain Light sensor

Has the windscreen been replaced

Genuine VCDS VAG-COM HEX-USB + Genuine Vag Commander + Genuine VAG Tacho + Genuine VAG CAN PRO  + RNS Manager for Video in Motion and New Pin Code for RNS510


Cluster and Key coding

Location Great Yarmouth


Retrofits fitted by me see my members rides

Hi,

No faults logged.  I have no idea if the screen was replaced prior to my ownership.  It's just really puzzling.

Wonder if the headlights have been coded for DRLs...
Without traction power is nothing!
