Passat (B6) :: Xenon Headlamps Are Pointing Way Too Low
I recently lowered one of my client's 2008 passat and since then the xeon headlamps are pointing way too low. I did the manual adjustment with the allen key screws but I'm at the maximum on the adjustment so I'm sure there is a way to compensate with recoding the motor. I have VagCom but I can't seem to do a recode. What is the procedure?

My head lights appear foggy all the time. it is my feeling that headlights are not powerfully shining the lights on pitch dark roads. I paid $60 for a headlight clean at Toyota dealership, later realized it is a rip-off and I can get cleaning solutions at Walmart for $10. Even after service and cleaning, it appears dull. what is the solution?

What does this icon mean? Maybe something about the gas tank cap or the gas cap door being open but that doesn't appear to be the case. The gas tank cap is tightly closed and the gas cap door is closed.

2011 Prius has about 85K miles on it, and we have gone through about 8 pairs of running headlamp bulbs. I called the dealership and they said that there is no known issue for this. Sure seems like a voltage regulator-type issue. Is it possible that a single wiring harness can affect both left and right? It's strange, because if the left one blows today, the right one will blow within a day or two. I've tried every brand of bulb, and no, I do not touch the glass with my hands.

I have finally installed HID, but I tend to think they pointed too low, or it is just my imagination. Need to change the level after installing HID? Second and most important Question, the thing is that after removing the + from Battery, I have reset the settings now car shows trouble codes for g85 I guess the steering column. That it is not calibrated right, the code applies for ABS and 44-Steering Assist, I might have messed up the options, but I strongly believe it might be fixed without dealership. When the car starts it shows, ESP off and steering column yellow all the time.

View 5 RepliesGolf VI R :: After Installation Of Rear Sway AFS Stuck / Lights Pointing Down
So as the title states, rear sway install, no issues (so I thought ) go to test drive the car afterward, and the headlights go through the normal sweep, but, they don't come up and level out, instead, they are pointing 10ft in front of the car.
The test drive was otherwise flawless, the R responds well to swaybars, my Mk6 TDi did as well, I just have the rear H&R bar on the softer/street setting for now, but it makes a notable difference just on its own in the soft setting, I'm pleased.
Back to the issue now at hand, I researched and so far came up with there is a sensor on the drivers side LCA on the rear of the arm, and one on the rear subframe that has a push rod type arm (looks like a servo) attached to it and a bracket on the subframe, Is this correct? The sensor in the rear is intact, plugged in, and I traced the wire back to the wheel well and there is no evidence of a ground, pulled or severed wire. I have no scanning equipment and am leery of going to the dealer and letting them plug into the ECM for anything now that I am tuned, not really for warranty, more for I don't want to risk anything being corrupted or altered.
Ford Excursion :: Fuse 3 Keeps Blowing - Camera Pointing Straight Down?
Ok I keep blowing fuse #3 in the interior compartment. Let me preface this by saying I have my always-on power for my rear view mirror which is the display for my back up camera, pulled from a wire that is fed by this fuse. The camera is on reverse power only and it pulled from the reverse lights in the rear of the truck, but the always-on power is pulled from this location for the display. Doesn't matter if I have always-on power to camera if the display fuse it has blown and I am guessing the mirror power is the source of my problem.
The fuse controls the OBD and the cigarette lighter and it seems to blow every time I plug anything into that power port that is more serious than say a phone charge. When this fuse goes then my mirror display is down, and back up camera is mainly used for hitching up a trailer solo. My camera is pointed straight down at my hitch ball and it makes hitching up by myself very easy.
I have a volt meter but not sure where I need to test, and well what a bad number is when I do test it? The mirror instructions say to pull always on power under the dash and the right wires are attached, and the fuse rating matches, so don't think it's a too much being pulled issue. Maybe a bad connection or maybe a relay issue? I had this fuse blow several times before I had the power mirror but it's certainly gotten worse.
Phaeton :: Headlamps No Longer Come On
it used to be that whenever I cut my car off the headlights would come on and as I exit the car would remain on for 30secs per. The setting for departure/arrival lighting.
Last night I they suddenly stopped doing that. When approaching the car and unlocking with key fob the lights come on. But no longer do they stay on when exiting the vehicle which was a nice feature at night. I have confirmed my settings are in tact so maybe I bumped something I don't know. I spent a lot of time In my phay last nite waiting for people and parked and moved several times.
Touareg :: Non-HID Headlamps Burned Out
When one of my non- HID headlamps burned out, I replaced both headlamps with PIAA Xtreme White Plus bulbs. Now, however my passenger side projection has lost it's "focus." There is plenty of light, but it seems dispersed and people who have driven in front of me comment that the light seems to be pointed downward. The reflective surface inside the lamp appears to look fine. Can the headlamp reflectors go bad?
View 10 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Engine Overheating - Temperature Gauge Was Pointing At The Redline
Car: 2006 sonata GLS V6, 62,000 mi
Abstract of symptom: Delayed cooling fan kicking in
Full Symptom description: 2 weeks ago, I was stuck in slow-going traffic. All of the sudden, I found the engine temperature gauge was pointing at the redline, which had never happened before! Then I was about to make an emergency stop on the shoulder, the gauge was falling back to the midline within 30 seconds. As I kept driving in the traffic, the gauge just fluctuated between mid-high to redline. There was a moment I had to stop and shut the engine down, then 1 minute later I restarted the engine, the gauge turned normal again: a little bit under the midline. Then the traffic improved, and the gauge stayed calm all the way home.
Then I noticed that the overheat problem only happens on slow-going/stop traffic; in another word, when I am driving down the interstate @60 mph, engine temperature is always perfect. (a little bit under the midline) At the parking lot, I triggered the problem to re-occur by idling while I was watching the cooling fan--and I found the fan didn't kick in until gauge hit mid-high. After fan kicked in, the gauge fell back to midline, but seemed never to the perfect status. (a little bit under the midline).
Differential: Coolant quality and quantity are good; no visible leak on radiator/hose; when I started a cold engine in the morning and turned on A/C at the same time, the fan kicked in immediately. And it seems that keeping A/C on can prevent overheat from happening, even in slow-going traffic.
