bought a headlight from a Bay seller, came bare.

Swapped over the drivers/ballasts, but doesnt come on when tried it and my scan tool says light is not coded to the car!!!!

Bloody cars getting to clever these days, or dumb in my opinion.

Its a bloody joke you cant replace a headlight unit now, with out the buggers making you take it to a main dealer to get it to work.

Total bloody con/rip off.

So a title says really if you can help

You should get a vcds and you can code it yourself

If you want support make sure it's a GENUINE one from Ross-Tech - which one on AliExpress is very UNLIKELY to be, as they tend to sell Chinese clones.

 

If it comes with a CD with the English version of VCDS then 99.99% it's a clone.

thanks for the replys, had vcds lead and basic software, but was from Bay of E.

I gave that away with an audi I sold, bit silly in hind sight, but I guess the basic VCDS wouldnt let me do that?

Ive just Bought  a Icarsoft pro v2.0 off of the bay again.

It seems quite good, and has done DPF regen on 2 octavias of mine already.

But doesnt seem to cover this thing.

 

Happy to pay someone pound notes if they can bob round.😉
