Cornering lights not working
 
Hi Guys,

I'm 6 weeks into A8 ownership and this forum has been a massive help (thanks for all the good tips). I bought my 2006 4.2 TDI with a few known issues, and I'm slowly chipping away at them with the help of forum - but one new issue has left me stumped...

My car has xenon lights, next to the xenons are some H7 corning lights, and then inboard from them is a P21W reversing bulb that gets used as a daylight running light. These H7 corning lights just never ever come on - not at speed, reversing, cornering, indicating...

I connected VCDS (official Hex+Can version) and cannot connect to the following modules:

[29] left light
[39] right light
[55] headlight range
[49] automatic light

But I can connect to and retrieve the coding for the following modules:

[09] cent. elect. - Coded as 0143121
[4F] cent. electr. II - Coded as 0010101

I wanted to enable showroom mode, but cannot without module 55.

Does anyone know what coding I need to be able to activate these corning lights, or am I missing some hardware? Do I have AFS, and should these bulbs actually work? Option xx?xxxx #4 seems to be the only module [09] coding where the P21W's and xenons work as expected.

Many Thanks


Simon

Mmi sounds like a strange one that,

If there is no warning lights on the dis for headlights then I suspect someone's coded the car to the most basic lights available so to prevent warnings.

You would help others help you by posting a full scan and also try to confirm the headlights fitted to the car.

Thanks Delboy,

I ran a scan this morning. I have a hole in the air-con radiator and a duff locking button on the passenger door, so faults on modules [08] and [52] can be ignored (I'll get round to fixing them eventually).

I also took a photo of the headlamp unit from the outside to help with identification. It's currently coded as "bi-xenon with Halogen P21W and AFS"

Check into 19 - CAN Gateway
Check the Installation list and make sure 55 (and every other module you have) is is ticked
The cornering light is 35W H8 bulb)

Thanks Snapdragon,

I activated module 55 in the CAN Gateway, but VCDS won't connect to it - neither during the full system scan or by connecting directly to the module. I suspect the controller is either dead or not physically installed.

Does anyone know where it should be located in the car? I think I need to hunt for it and see what I find.

Many Thanks

I *think* There is a box on the back of each headlight that looks like a xenon ballast but is actually for the cornering light - I *think* it may be the cornering light controller but not sure if it is 55 itself or something between 55 and the bulb as you would only expect one 55 and not two.

It looks like a xenon plus with AFS to me....

The early version of these cornering bulbs (pre facelift) did come on when reversing, the later big grill versions do not. They wont do anything when indicating either iirc.

They only work at slow speeds going round corners, moving slowly round a corner out of a driveway for example. I don't recall seeing them work at any other time for a long time, never on big grill cars anyway. The APS swivelling lights system is so much more better and subtle I think Audi sort of stopped the cornering lights from doing much, plus who wants a nasty orange halogen polluting their nice Xenon beam ? +++
