I bought myself a nice brand new Touareg 2011 (7P). I have ordered German accessories in order to activate the amber blinker instead the red and the rear fog light incl. the light switch. But now I'm stuck at the coding in order to activate the functions. Any clue which CU and address I have to change in order to teach the brake light not to blink and the fog light to function?
View 3 RepliesInstalled last week, LED no fog. Everything worked great but I had the bulb out error. Yesterday, I had the coding done and I now have an issue. Worked fine when I left the dealer and this morning I have a "Check Right Rear Light" warning. The right rear is no longer lit. Back up light works, tail light does not. I think the dealer changed byte 18 to 21 but also changed the setting from NA to something else... maybe ROW.

View 3 RepliesI've had my new Touareg for less than a month, and only had one problem so far, my headlights. On 2 separate occasions after parking (daylight, only my DRL was on) and turning off my engine, the first time, the headlamps remained on and the other incident, one blinker light remained on and had "frozen".
I made sure that all the light switches were off (even turning them on and off), made sure the hi beams were off, keys were out of the ignition, even tried turning the engine on and off. Eventually lights turned off after restarting the car the 4 th time.
Now, I wonder with all these "battery drain" concerns? an unchecked headlight/or blinker (during daylight you can miss this, and no warning signals from that the lights are infact on).
Have one of at least four different software codes, depending on your version of the TPMS controller. For the old controller (which I used to have, and which is present in, for example, air cooled rig), the coding is 0012339. (There is also 0010339.) The new coding below is only if you have coding 0210390 and possibly if you have coding 0211390. The old coding does not work with my controller, and I do not know if the new coding works with the old controller.
Use VAG-COM:
1. to put the option to turn TPMS on/off into the MFI.
2. to get "inflation info" back into the MFI.
Change the software coding to:
0110390
My left side rear blinker/ brake light is not working. The running/taillight side/filment of the bulb works, but the brake/blinker side/filament does nothing ! Just bought the truck used and it's my only issue, waiting on a owners manual, but I think each bulb is fused separate, and since half the bulb works, can I rule out the fuse and start chasing wires ??
View 5 RepliesSuddenly the blinker in my right exterior mirror has stopped blinking. I had this once before and just as I arrived at my Dealer and switching off the ignition, it suddenly started working again after starting the car again.
This time that didn't work. Everything else works. I hear the flasher 'clicking' and all blinkers, mirror folding and exit lights work.
Is there a fuse I should check (but everything else works) or is this again a glitch that will correct itself. By the way, there is no 'malfunction' indicated in the MFI.
I just tried folding the mirrors and in the folded position the right hand mirror blinked once and then not again. How can I check the bulb/LED in the mirror?
What is the VAG-COM code for changing the blinker so that it would blink 4 times instead of 3 when you just tap it. I tried searching for it and can't find it in the archives. What the code is, or where the message it?
View 7 RepliesI also have a problem with my left blinker and my break lights. My right blinker works just fine, but my left blinker and break lights will not come on unless I pull the blinker switch forward a bit- as if I'm going to turn my brights on.
View 14 RepliesCurrently I have a 1998 Buick Century Custom having turn signal issues.
The front left blinker is not blinking. Understandably, with this malfunction, the rear left blinker blinks rapidly when the turn signal switch is in the left turn signal position. However, when I put the hazard lights on, BOTH rear blinkers blink normally as does the front right blinker.
When the headlights are on, the amber-colored blinker bulb remains lit (left front). The right side front and rear blinkers work great.
I have checked the fuses, replaced the bulb and cleaned the socket of the front left blinker and still have no results. While my next guess would be that the flasher unit is the problem, I don't believe the rear, or front right blinkers would blink if that was the problem.
I now have the Euro switch from AtLast Imports. I'm about to disable pin 7. Before I do this, how to get the rear fog light working. Its not so much that I need a rear fog light; its more the thrill of the hunt. I hate having hardware on the egg that does not work.
View 21 RepliesThe rear (right) brake light failed per the heads-up display and is confirmed not working on my FSI v8; nothing lights-up when I depress the brake pedal, but all lights are lit when the lights are on. The dealer is a 3hrs drive; thus I was wondering if this could be a common fuse issue that could be fixed sans going to the dealer?
View 2 RepliesIs this considered a warranty issue or will I have to pay out of pocket? If I fix it myself, will I have to find someone to VAG the warning light on the instrument panel?
View 6 RepliesI have to replace my rear wiper arm and rear LED string on the hatch.
My rear wiper arm got damaged at a car wash, I took the cap off and removed the bolt however the arm will not come off.
The LED string, where to start and my dealer was unable to tell when I picked the part up.
I did the rear fog light install yesterday and I am trying to activate the rear fog light icon in the instrument cluster. My lights have been vag'd (base now ...5692).
View 12 Repliesunder the self-dimming rearview mirror, actually two of them. I searched 'red light' and came up with a 2001 post and nobody knew what it was either, an ambient light like the state patrol uses one guy summized!!!
What gives here. I've never noticed it at night, only today in broad daylight!
my front driver side blinker light is giving me some trouble. The side marker & rear blink fine, but the front does not blink. The bulb does work though when I turn my lights on, but just won't blink.

View 4 RepliesMy 2015 GTI, Gas engine, Manual Transmission ... Blinkers consistently give me an error code advising me that I need to get the front left, front right, or both blinkers checked and do a rapid flash and make them inop. Turning my car off and restarting usually clears this (almost always on the first try).
Also, the following problem has happened 3 times at varying degrees of severity when the temp has been -30F or colder. I've started my car to warm up, when I've come back to my car after 10-20 minutes I've had 2 warning lights on. One is the little yellow eng light, which my manual says is "Engine control malfunction". And the other is "EPC" which my manual says is also "Engine Control Malfunction", but also governs it to 20mph. After many restarts, or letting the vehicle sit, both lights will come off (not at the same time). 2 of the times there has been a burning rubber smell. Currently it has a battery blanket and battery pad (pad added by my husband after the first time I had the -30 issues, as the battery was low) and an oil pan heater.
I just installed a replacement Hazard Switch because the directional "blinker" light stopped working (after only working sporadically for a while). This particular switch is probably made in China. Hazards now working normally (with a blink rate of a little better than 1 Hz .. just like it used to work). Directional "blinker" lights - however - are also working, but at a very fast rate: probably 3+Hz. Why this might be? I'm pretty sure the directionals and the Hazards blinked at the same rate with the original switch. Maybe a side-effect of a cheap Chinese switch? I did check both tail lights and they're working for both Directionals and Hazards, but can't get over the difference in flash rate between the two. Doesn't give me a good feeling that this switch will last.
View 6 RepliesI just had my car coded for aftermarket HIDs and i have no high beams and a bulb out indicator on. did i miss a step in the VAG coding or will the high beams work when i put the HIDs in?
