Bulb light illuminated on dash and fault code in VCDS

Featured Replies

Have checked fault codes with VCDS and it's showing a fault with indicator bulbs, and the bulb light is permanently illuminated on the dash.

I've checked the indicators, and all are working OK. I changed the original bulbs a while ago for Diadems.

I deleted the fault codes last night, and the bulb light went off the dash, but this morning, on driving the car, and obviously operating the indicators, the bulb light has come back.

Anyone got any possible suggestions as to why ?

i was thinking resistance too or a loose filiment, you could put a different bulb in each indicator bulb (do it one in one for one day then into the next for one day etc) and see if you can locate the rogue bulb.

Hi Brimma

had the little light on dash this week too.

Didnt find a notice on the maxidot, so went out and looked what bulb could be dead.

Found out it was the right W5W bulb in the headlight AND the right rear W5W bulb.

In the rear cluster there should be 3 bulbs on when headlights are on. You can barely see this, but the little W5W bulb on the side (not the bigger ones that are in the big bulb holber, but the little socket next to this) didnt work.

Changed both and the light on the dash didnt go on anymore.

Have Diadems myself too, and they work without any problems for almost 120tkm now.
