Phaeton :: Headlamps No Longer Come On
Aug 2, 2008
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.

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?

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?

Past couple of days I've had a warning pop up for "Check lights" sometimes even before i have turned them on although I do have arrive depart set to activate. On looking around all seem to be OK apart from maybe 2 leds within the tail lights. It does seem to go out within a couple of mins of actually setting off as well so clearly somethings sorting itself out.... What to check next? they seem to be working fine, I can see them autolevel when I pull up behind a car and the car settles on its suspension etc.

I took apart my key fob to replace the plastic pad. With the new pad in place all the functions light up the little green led but it won't lock, unlock the car or open the trunk. The door lock cylinder was seized when I bought the car. So now I have a locked Phaeton in my driveway that I can't get into. I don't have a scan tool (I would need to be in the car to use it anyway) and the nearest dealer is 260 miles away .

One of my unlock buttons was very touchy and no longer had the click detent so I sourced exact replacements. I bought 3 but only need 1 so have two to spare. Since these are not the typical VW remote switches they were harder to find and I ordered them from Germany. Replacing them isn't too hard but they are surface mount so a little trickier than normal PC card work. Still, any electronic repair shop can handle it for you if you don't feel comfortable with a soldering iron.

My W12 Steering wheel seems to no longer adjust in the up/down range when I use the button on the side of the steering column. It does move in/out. Is there a way to reinitialize or calibrate the steering wheel.

With my Phaeton has the power convenient closing was working on all four doors (the feature that automatically closes the door if you close it almost all the way.) Now it is working only 3. The driver's door no longer has power convenient closing. What the possible cause or remedy is?

02 Ranger 2.3 4cyl 5 spd 115K.... My A/C seems to take longer and longer to start cooling/ When it does start cooling it seems that is is actually colder than it has ever been (original owner) and the control is more sensitive to the touch when moved. Being a 4 cyl it's easy to detect when the compressor kicks in and it seems each time it is taking longer to do so. If I stop the motor, it goes thru the same cycle of time or longer before cooling (compressor kicking in) again. No codes, No unusual noises.

When one of my non- HID headlamps burned out, I replaced both headlamps with PIAA Xtreme White Plus bulbs. Now, however my passenger side projection has lost it's "focus." There is plenty of light, but it seems dispersed and people who have driven in front of me comment that the light seems to be pointed downward. The reflective surface inside the lamp appears to look fine. Can the headlamp reflectors go bad?

My head lights appear foggy all the time. it is my feeling that headlights are not powerfully shining the lights on pitch dark roads. I paid $60 for a headlight clean at Toyota dealership, later realized it is a rip-off and I can get cleaning solutions at Walmart for $10. Even after service and cleaning, it appears dull. what is the solution?

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?

2011 Prius has about 85K miles on it, and we have gone through about 8 pairs of running headlamp bulbs. I called the dealership and they said that there is no known issue for this. Sure seems like a voltage regulator-type issue. Is it possible that a single wiring harness can affect both left and right? It's strange, because if the left one blows today, the right one will blow within a day or two. I've tried every brand of bulb, and no, I do not touch the glass with my hands.

My 2006 Mazda5 has a problem with burning out low beam headlamps. Both sides, but at separate times. I've replaced 8 bulbs in the last 18 months of ownership. I had the wiring harnesses replaced 5 months ago to correct the issue and each side has burned out again. What else should I be looking for?

My 2005 Prius' headlamps are pointing down. What do you call that part located near the rear left wheel that levels them?

I've had my new Touareg for less than a month, and only had one problem so far, my headlights. On 2 separate occasions after parking (daylight, only my DRL was on) and turning off my engine, the first time, the headlamps remained on and the other incident, one blinker light remained on and had "frozen".
I made sure that all the light switches were off (even turning them on and off), made sure the hi beams were off, keys were out of the ignition, even tried turning the engine on and off. Eventually lights turned off after restarting the car the 4 th time.
Now, I wonder with all these "battery drain" concerns? an unchecked headlight/or blinker (during daylight you can miss this, and no warning signals from that the lights are infact on).

When I drive my 1977 MG Midget, the headlamps dim, then brighten, then dim, then brighten...constantly. Dashboard lights appear to do the same. I have had no troubles starting the car since it was retrieved from storage in April. What might be causing this?
