Ok, I'll post a photo tomorrow. I did the basic setting on a level ground and no load in the back. Before that, I had the bending function to off (not ticked in the MFD) and during the setting it popped up an error regarding the AFS..... I was in the basic settings at the time but pressed the ON/OFF/... button then the bending function was enabled itself I saw in the menu. Did this play any role in the basic settings? I pressed lots of time the ON/OFF/... button as I was not sure if I had to leave the menu when "position learned" screen or when it was "Off" (terminate and close procedure)...? so it seemed I did the basic settings buttons 2-3 times... Yes, the projectors do the startup with no faults but they return to a position looking higher. I think I can get tomerrow to an electrician and adjust with a Bosch beam leveler?

Ok, thanks I thought that that level height (AFS I) would be the same for AFS II that's why I didn't perform any manual settings.. So the basic setting 0 is the same position like all the standard light systems using a common adjustment tool in a electrician repair shop.

Tried to go for a short drive but the lights dazzle the oncoming so I returned quickly. So not really tested them.. I see the protectors even with lights off, they look higher than before.

Well found few minutes free time today and coded the 1441884 and the projectors moved standard position higher. on AFS I the projectors were identical to the correct level height, but when changed the coding they moved up. Is it how it should be? But the coding was accepted from the module. I did the adaptation to relearn the position but without adjusting anything manually, just went on and finished the procedure. I also had an failure AFS message on the maxidot but cleared it when ended the learning position. Currently no errors in the module. Should I manually adjust them regarding the normal height? Does the AFS II coding need a different adjustment than a standard AFS I?

Yes manual states SLL. Thanks pikpilot, I think this is the issue, the lamp pin. The spring contact needs cleaning either as it is not clean too.

It's been few months now have started getting the DRL right side lamp error indication so the common issue with those halogen , the lamp holder pins (..dont know how to call it..) look like have bended from excessive heat applied from the lamp so it looses contact. and as the ambient temp has reached 35, it's been happening more often as the vibrations shake it and make it more sensitive. What is the PN lamp holders inside the fog housing to replace both for the 2009 model ? Thanks ,

Sometimes a good cleaning can solve it as mud and debris can be collected and so sensor misreads.

As far as I'm concerned it is not fixable otherwise. Mine still works with the special spring clips and it's OK since few years now.

This is good news friend - great car too. Wish you enjoy the new baby one!

Hey Nick, thanks - couldn't all have been written so good! Yes but MK2 Octavia only had the AFS1/Xenons option so even with autoswitch or not, the coding was standard for all from factory.. As Phil says, from the moment there is all the electronic equipment there and coding with the 'Superb' number, the auto light switch does the activation/deactivation to the 'auto' and 'on' positions. I may be wrong the point how I understand it but I'll try it and report back.

OK, I'll try this as this works the AFS2 light patterns for you..

Well that definitely brings my memory back in a 2009 Superb adv which was doing exactly as you describe..

Ok thanks, Just some more thoughts that have in mind and would like to share in case you may know, (and let's share this as an encyclopedia info for others.. ), 1. So the system has now come as close as the one that the 2008+ Suberb had, which had this same AFS2 functions from factory option and with Bi-xenons.. Do both projectors you think play the beam patterns? 2. Does the dynamic cornering/bending function work together with the AFS2 patterns at the same time? 3. Are both codings for AFS2 - 1507610 and 1311190? 4. Basic settings better performed with me sitting in the driver's seat or being out of car with all doors closed? Supposing that I'm 100 kg, should differ a bit the level sensors position and thus take it as correct or not? Also 100% flat level surface without any inclination? 5. Just in any case and reason for a roll back in AFS 1 system, should it just be simply to recode the old coding and do everything in back steps? 6. "Assistant" menu: if for a reason I would not want to have AFS2 patterns, could the deselection of "Bending lighting" allow to do this? Also turns off bending lighting to straight standard beam or not perhaps? I may have given you some ideas to play more with your new lights - so it would be nice to report back what you will discover. Thanks.

Thanks JR - mines system is factory fitted. I think if universal headlights they should have a dipping function for the oncoming dazzling prevention when vehicle loaded. Otherwise not legal. So the set should come with sensors and complete.

Excellent work Nick! Be happy and enjoy them! The headlights seem to be as new - not visible worn though.. Some of querries to throw, 1. Haven't you been able to find AFS module with software 0148? I had the idea that AFS2 would be able to be recoded on a AFS1 system only if on this version installed or higher.? 2. I have the factory system Address 55: Headlight Range Labels: 5M0-907-357-V2.lbl Part No SW: 5M0 907 357 C HW: 5M0 907 357 C Component: AFS-Steuergeraet 0142 Revision: 00H04000 Serial number: Coding: 1507354 Shop #: WSC 73430 790 00000 VCID: 3430EDF0C2363CF7A5C-8060 Subsystem 1 - Part No: 7L6 941 329 B Labels: 3D0-941-329.CLB Component: AFS-Lst.-Modul l 0004 Coding: 00000023 Subsystem 2 - Part No: 7L6 941 329 B Labels: 3D0-941-329.CLB Component: AFS-Lst.-Modul r 0004 Coding: 00000023 No fault code found. Could this be able to enable the AFS2 schematics? 3. How do you make the basic setting adaptation successfully,? I'm in the standard range setting now and which is ideal for AFS1, will need to re set it somehow for AFS2? Thank you, Regard s

Correct, the passenger's mirror sits with shorter angle so that to be better targeted for the driver's eyes. It is not the same both.

First of all you'll need a proper diagnosis but as you say already done and found only this (haldex pump) issue, I would go for another diagnostics run using a VCDS for example to double confirm. A common issue proves to be the wheel sensors/wirings, or rings.

Thule has this accessory is a carry bar for trunk frame. It can prove to be handy and makes easier for the bike to hang on those frames. Is the chieper way to go as you already have the trunk frame. https://www.thule.com/en-gr/bike-rack/trunk-bike-rack-accessories/thule-bike-frame-adapter-_-982000

Me just not sure too... FL 2009 elegance. Any notice in the manual?

Not sure whether or not the compressor is turned off is for example an error occurs like lost gases or electric failure just for protection issues ... Scan the system and report here furthermore after you can check for gases if it is in the circuit or lost ..

First thing I would say Is it easy to scan the car with diagnostics to see if any errors there? Also what if pressing the AC button, does the indication turn on? If so, is the belt on position to turn compressor? There could be other causes too, but would suggest to start with the above.

In VCDS there is an option that you either select to work the main headlights or the side lights together with the fogs (if your car has) but can't recall where exactly this is... I did change mine to sidelights and fogs rather that mainlights in CH/LH function.
