Thanks again Langers2k....I'll do as suggested

Update:
Sourced a AFS control module from Oz. Donor car was a Tigwan. I installed it tonight....no dash errors and no 'dancing headlights'either.
VCDS scan showed error...see below.

Does anyone know if it has to be adapted to my car?
And if so how?
I checked the link above but it does cover my issue.

I'm not sure, I've not had to deal with that age of AFS slave yet. A quick google is pretty inconclusive
About the only mention is here https://www.drive2.ru/b/475582485674066151/
The 'fifth story' suggests there is some kind of parameterision but I've no idea if it's for the AFS master, AFS slave or both...
I'll check it out....Thanks again!

I think (not 100%) that the two AFS slaves share a fuse so given one is communicating, it's probably nothing to do with the work you've been doing in the fuse box. Worth checking the WD if you have it.
Typically with this kind of issue, step one is to check for signs of water ingress between the AFS slave and the headlight. You might be able to access it if you remove the wheel arch liner as they live on the underside of the headlights.
Hey langers2k,
If it happens to be the module under the left headlight, is the part interchangeable between Passat and Superb? Reason I ask is I have found a used one in Melbourne, Australia and the seller says 'Will only work on a Passat unless you re-parameter it" - is this correct?

Another minor issue has come to light....
Central locking works - all doors physically lock when using remote, kessy, or the lock/unlock button on driver's door....BUT the rear doors cannot be opened from the outside. The only way, is to use the unlock button on driver's door then they can be opened from the outside.
No errors reported in scan.
Strange ....right??
Sorted.....it was an option in the MaxiDot. It was set to driver's door and now I have it set to all doors!

Thanks again mate!
I'll do as you suggest. Strange it should happen now as the car had been the in garage without moving for a good three weeks!

Huh...did the happy dance too soon!
We now have a left headlight range fault...

Low and High headlights work but the Auto adjust doesn't..

Sensational news folks!
Problem fixed!
The culprit was fuse No.23 30A. It was a loose terminal connection where the blade plugged in. One connection was solid while the other was loose and it was corrected by slightly bending one leg on the fuse so it make a solid connection.
Car has been road tested and is as good as new!!
Many thanks to langers2k for his patience and guidance: wino for more recent help and to all others who chimed in!

Well there's a coincidence. Long head tendon?
Busted mine back in November. No repair though, too old to bother and it seems to have reattached itself somewhere/somehow.
Quite the coincidence indeed!.. Subscap and long head!
And I did it in November too....needed surgery but had to wait til mid May. Only 4 more weeks in the sling!

Maybe, or you could just get a magnifying glass and a fine pointy thing and lever the loose contacts carefully inwards towards each other.
Got it....this will have to wait til tomorrow evening as my abled body helper is not available til then! (I am recovering from rotator cuff & bicep tendon repair)

No, fuse 23, 30A.
Take a photo of the one I'm describing.
Is there not a couple of rows of mini-blades, then some of full size, then a bottom row of minis?
I'm talking about the first/top row of full size.
Oops...my bad!
Yes fuse 23 is in tact...BUT....when was testing it insitu with my lead light, the top point of the fuse had power, but the bottom point did not. I wiggled the fuse and low and behold there was power! So this seems to me that the bottom retaining fitting is 'loose' and maybe is the cause of the problem.
Does this mean the fuse box will need to be removed to inspect the fitting??

Can you confirm that in the cabin fusebox, top row of full size blade fuses, 2nd from right is intact?
If you are referring to fuse No.2 5A - yes it is.

Disconnect the three plugs on the BCM and see if anything changes with the voltage to the door controllers. You should perform an autoscan while it's disconnected too.
I'd be very surprised if the BCM was causing your issues though as it's not in the power path for the door controllers.
Could not find the problem.....mainly cos I can't read the wiring diagram!
What I do know is there is no power for the red wire at the plug in the A pillar. It's the one identified with red line in the pic below..
Where the power comes from inside the car to there is a mystery to me!
-
After hours of investigation no problems found.
I did tighten up the nut about 1/4 of a turn at the earth point near the floor in drivers foot well. Not sure if this would make any difference???
During the investigation process the BCM was removed as during my countless phone calls for help, I came across a mobile sparkie who said they could check it out of the car, but when I contacted them to do this they backed out!
Other than inspecting the circuit board for obvious faulty solder joints is there any other tests we can try?
Any Superb experts in SE Melb who are willing to come to my home to investigate this issue? I will pay of course!
-
Noted thanks langers2k....Will do as suggested and report back.

A faulty BCM shouldn't stop the door controllers communicating...
You can probably access the three connectors if you remove the trim in the drivers footwell. I don't have a guide or pictures unfortunately. It shouldn't be necessary to completely remove it yet.
If the door controllers still don't show up with it disconnected, then it's unlikely to be related.
Have you managed to get 12v to the door controllers yet?
Nope...no power to door controllers.
Interestingly, the touch locking feature works by lights flashing but doors do not physically lock. The opening touch does not work.

Hi Briskodian Experts,
Can anyone provide steps or video how I can remove the BCM in my MkII Outdoor? I want to check if there are any dodgy solder joints that may be causing my issues?
If nothing is obvious I will order a replacement.
Many thanks
-
Well...we've checked and rechecked all we can and the only change I've noticed is kessy is partially working...the touch sensor for door locking is functioning - that is, the indicator lights flash and fuel cap and tailgate lock. No other doors lock.
My wife was driving the car when the problem first appeared .... she heard a 'pop' sound but no burning smells of any kind. I wonder what could that possibly be?
Time to replace the BCM maybe?

Yeah an ignition cycle is just turning it off and back on with the key.
I'm not expecting it to help with the door controllers but it should get the BCM (address 09/46) communicating again
Did that....
Question... can I do a scan with engine running? Reason I ask is the battery was flat after the harness was fitted and I don't have jumper leads (mate jumped it with his leads)
-
Thanks langers2k,
Been regularly locking/unlocking the doors while car was worked on to stop alarm going off..
Replaced all fuses relating to doors and windows a few weeks ago.
Ignition cycle? Does this mean....turning on ignition (not starting car) running a scan, clearing all DTCs, turning ignition off, running scan again and clearing DTCs...and hold the breath for a good result? Sorry if I am sounding dumb...could be a result of the pain meds I am on!!
-
Good & Bad Update..
The Good
New wiring harness installed1
The Bad
No change in behaviour!!
Rescanned....cleared codes ...... no change.. See todays scan attached.
Could this mean a BCM issue? If so how do I resolve it??
-
Got the wiring harness from Skoda parts (great service).
My car has kessy and as a consequence the harness has an additional plug that connects with the door handle.
How on earth do we get to that plug??
-
Thanks langers2k and StuH78....appreciate your replies and wisdom!
I'll order the new harness from skoda-part.com as suggested
Superb MkII doors do not lock or unlock, windows do not operate, no mirror controls.

Well....well...well.
I did a scan with the replacement module and the headlights did their 'dance'.
So...I thought why not put the original one back in and run another scan....VCDS did not pick up any errors in the initial scan where it finds all modules. Let it run and to my joy NO ERRORS detected!!
Started in the car in the garage just now (evening in Oz) and the headlights danced!
I am one happy little vegemite!
Thanks to langers2k and all others for their input!
