What does the error say? If it specifically states cornering lights, it’ll either be the fixed lights at the bottom of the bumper or the dynamic cornering system. 
 

When the lights dance, do they just go up and down? No other direction?

Yes it says cornering lights (afs)but the lights go sideways and up and down on startup as if nothing wrong

Sounds like the motors that move the lights are OK, which suggests the problem is further back in the system (such as not getting steering data over the CAN bus).

 

I think a fault scan is needed to get the details of the fault code that will have been stored.

Thanks for the advice paid £42 today for diagnostics result "found fault for positining(positioning?)motor for left headlight.carried out output test.requires headlight renewal as motor built in.new headlight unit coded to vehicle-      £756.18 !!!!!!!!

Any ideas on a cheaper fix please !!

if it's been identified as at fault and you're looking for a cheaper alternative, it may be worth trying a breakers yard.

 

Only thing is it's a bit of a leap of faith all is OK with that one.

[Telgolf]

Thanks for that I'll try ,what's the coding about don't understand that one

If you replace the headlight, it may come with a new control module on the rear that will need a dataset uploading to it.

 

Even if you keep the old headlight control module, you'll still probably need to clear the old fault codes and do 'basic settings' to so the system can relearn a few things

I've found a new one which they say fits my car(from reg no) which is about £100 so is there somewhere I go to get it fitted and coded as I'm totally dumb to this Thanks

I'd probably find a decent local VAG independent and see if they can do it for you

[ChoonDoode]

The long and short of swapping most parts on our cars nowadays is you need a laptop.

 

As said above there by Langer's, find yourself a local VAG specialist and have them do the necessary work. Be a hell of a lot cheaper than a trip to the stealership.

Thanks I'll try another independent VAG it was one that quoted £756.18 when I asked him yesterday if he would code one I bought he said they only fit original parts surprize surprize!!
