Mk3 flickering xenon -> dead xenon -> no auto

Featured Replies

Hi. I got a xenon light that last week startet to act up with flickering. So I read here and understood and got confirmed that is the first on a path to have to change the xenon bulbs. My process was the following:

  • Flickering right xeon light

  • Turned off the lights a few days, then one day turned off and they both were dead, no life at all on auto at least.

  • changed both left and right xenon. Surpriced how easy it was.

  • The lights still dead after changed both to philips D3D bulbs. The ifht xenon bulb was clearly dead. Had different colors on the bottom, than the new and right one.

  • Checked all fuses. Didn't find any blown. My guess was that a fuse had blown since it felt unrealistic that goth went off so close to each other.

  • removed the connection from the battery to the car. Didn't in the end seem like the best choice to do.

  • Got loads of new errors.

  • After a drive much better, most errors went away.

  • The xenon bulbs now work if I place the licht switch fully to the right. This mode I've never used so far. I've only used auto.

  • On auto mode nothing works. It seems I also no got errors with the other auto functions like lane shift and functions that needs radar and similar technologies.

It feels like the flickering xenon has either blown a fuse I havn't located or that it has blown a controller the ballast or something more.

VCDS errors changed a bit before and after the battery was unplugged the car. The last status gave me following errors:
