VCDS/OBDEleven near Chesterfield, 55 Xenon Range Basic Settigs

Featured Replies

Can anyone near Chesterfield let me borrow their VCDS, VAGCOM or OBDEleven for 15 minutes, I've kinda stuffed me headlamps up...

Long version: after 9 years of MX-5s with lovely LED headlamps, I'm back in VAG land with a 2016 MkVII Golf GTD estate (I had a 2005 Skoda Fabia vRS beforehand, that's how I ended up on Briskoda). I found the xenon dipped beam very disappointing (borderline scary) so manually adjusted the alignment to get a more correct range. But read afterwards I was suppose to use VCDS on 55 Headlight Range Module to put the xenons into Adjustment Mode whilst messing with the allen bolt to adjust the range, then put them in Basic Setting afterwards to learn the new rest position - otherwise I risked damaging the auto levelling motors. So I tried this using Car Scanner Pro long coding to do this but it doesn't support that function and instead I wiped the headlamp basic settings entirely so now I've a permanent warning light and I've lost use of the cornering lamps (Headlights Corrector).

The fix is simple, I just need to do Basic Setting with VCDS on level ground and it should be fine. I've taken a look at the VCDS map and DM'd a few people but thought I'd ask here too in case anyone has OBDEleven they can lend use of.

Bump as I've still not got this fixed and no DM responses 🙏

Maybe give Volks Tek on Callywhite Lane in Dronfield a call... They may be able to help for a few beer tokens
