Twice today I have gotten a message to the effect that I should check my lights. I have forgotten the exact words. I checked the lights and they all seem to be working properly. Is this what people mean when they write that their lights are flickering?
View 2 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Xenon Headlamps Are Pointing Way Too Low
I recently lowered one of my client's 2008 passat and since then the xeon headlamps are pointing way too low. I did the manual adjustment with the allen key screws but I'm at the maximum on the adjustment so I'm sure there is a way to compensate with recoding the motor. I have VagCom but I can't seem to do a recode. What is the procedure?
View 2 RepliesPhaeton :: Check Lights Message Came Up On Screen With Loud Warning Chime Nonstop
One of my taillights stopped functioning last night on my drive home. The "check lights" message came up on screen, accompanied by a loud warning chime. However, it wouldn't stop. It kept flashing "check lights" over and over, and kept repeating the chime every few seconds for my entire ride home.
This morning, everything seems to be OK. The taillight is still out, but it's not chiming repeatedly (at least for now). What caused my Phaeton to freak out like that?
Phaeton :: Headlamps Shutoff When Driving Under Bright Street Lights
I have a Canadian imported vehicle that had the Driving lights on all the time. I turned off the DRL with the VAG with no issues. The last few months tho, the daylight sensor (which I believe is at the base of the windshield) has been very sensitive to street lamps and turns my headlamps off briefly. I'm curious if I can VAG this out as well?
View 7 RepliesPhaeton :: 2004 - Getting Intermittent Steering Failure - Workshop Message?
I posted last week that I was getting an intermittent "Steering Failure - Workshop" message on my '04 V-8 Phaeton. I asked forum members if I was alone and no one responded to the post. Last week I made an appointment with my VW dealer to get the car's steering fault looked at but I wasn't fast enough. The other day the car would not let me start it. The 'steering failure workshop' problem doesn't seem to be a mechanical issue. There are two other '04 Phaeton's at my dealer right now with the same problem. It looks like my car will join the party awaiting new steering control modules. The back-order on the modules appears to be at least another three weeks. Funny, you can get an entire Phaeton steering column in two days. If and when this steering module goes south all kinds of fun interior electrical glitches jump on board. No one ever said owning a Phaeton wouldn't be interesting and yes I still plan on keeping it for a very long time.

I just lowered my car with H&R springs and I did the flash to pass vagcom change. When the car is still and I turn on the high beams or flash it, everything is fine. Is when I start moving, and then put the highbeams or flash it when the xenons starts flickering mimicking a strobe light and is giving me an error message on the display, right or left beam dipped error.
View 3 RepliesPhaeton :: Gauge Lights Slightly Flickering
Noticed a slight flickering of my guage lights recently. All other lights in the car as well as all screened displays are stable and do not fluctuate. I've raised and lowered the instrument dimmer control which functions as it should to no avail. Voltage of left battery is to spec so I assume the alternators output is OK.

View 5 RepliesPhaeton :: Check Gas Cap Message After 10 Minutes Of Driving
Today I had been driving about ten minutes when I got a "Check Gas Cap" warning, inclusive of beep and appropriate icon. Pulled over, switched off but left key in (this is equivalent to a warm boot in my experience), opened gas cap and closed again (it was fine). Turned engine on, got same message, remained on until destination (approximately 20 minute drive). Parked and locked car for approximately 2 hours (equivalent to a cold boot). When I turned on the engine again, the message was gone, and remained off for the rest of the day.
The car had been sitting unused in a heated garage for a little over two weeks, and the weather today was nice, sunny, a few degrees above freezing.
In my view, it clearly was not related to the classic "fuel cap not tight enough" problem of modern cars: for one, I had not just refueled (in fact, I have a little over half a tank). Also, I always tighten the cap until I hear at least a few clicks. SO I wonder if it might be an early warning that my maintenance battery is getting weak, i.e. spurious error message triggered by low voltage?
Phaeton :: Headlamps No Longer Come On
it used to be that whenever I cut my car off the headlights would come on and as I exit the car would remain on for 30secs per. The setting for departure/arrival lighting.
Last night I they suddenly stopped doing that. When approaching the car and unlocking with key fob the lights come on. But no longer do they stay on when exiting the vehicle which was a nice feature at night. I have confirmed my settings are in tact so maybe I bumped something I don't know. I spent a lot of time In my phay last nite waiting for people and parked and moved several times.

What does it mean when the PRND2 area all illuminated at the same time? Normally only the gear selected will be illuminated, but yesteday I got a solid bar illuminating all the gear selections.

View 24 RepliesTiguan :: Xenon Headlight Failure / Warning Light Showed Up For A Bad Headlamp
So, last night, a warning light showed up that pointed to a bad headlamp. I have a 2012 SEL with Xenon lights. When I first start the car, they both work. But then after a minute or so the passenger side lamp goes out and the warning light comes on. Each time I first start the car, same thing. Both work, then passenger side goes out. I had Xenon lamps on my 2000 A4 for over 12 years with not a single problem. Though those were not the bi-xenon with the Adaptive auto following lamps.
View 7 RepliesPhaeton :: No Difference When DRLs Are On Or Front Headlamps Are Illuminated At Night
Quick question regarding the daytime running lamps. It appears there is no difference when the DRL's are on or when the front headlamps are illuminated at night. Even if I turn the switch to off, and the DRL's are on, it looks no different then when the headlights are on. Is this normal? Are the DRL's just the headlamps turned on or are they normally the small incandescent light as found on lesser VW's?

View 10 RepliesTouareg :: 2005 - Keeps Getting Check Lights Message On MFI?
I've got a 2005 Touareg V-8, 17,200 miles. I've got the xenon lights and the problem is as follows. I started getting the "Check Lights" message on the MFI. I checked the lights and everything was on and working. I took the car for service and had the dealer check it out. Of course the dealer couldn't find anything.
They checked for fault codes and didn't find anything. Once I left the dealership the message came back on so I turned around and went back to the dealer. I left the car on so that the fault codes would not clear. They instantly hooked the car up to there test equipment and found the fault code, the code indicated that the problem was in the left head light assembly circuit shown as B+ as the problem.
Since then they've replaced, the headlight assembly, the control module, the wiring harness and still today I've got the same "check Lights" thing going on. When the Check lights message comes on I loose my left light all together, the problem is getting worse and they don't seem to be able to find the problem.

Taurus :: Check Brake System Message - Dimming Dash Lights
I have a 2007 Taurus and for some odd reason I get a message saying to check the brake system. Its accompanied by dimming dash lights and symptoms of a bad alternator. I'm suspecting the battery (its from 2009). Sometimes the issue goes away and when I drive and get the car above 1300 rpm it will go away until the next stop light/sign.
