Headlights too dim!

~x( The car is simply not safe to drive at night in unlit roads due to some dirt or mess in the headlight units including cobwebs! Previous owner had chinese xenons fitted (probably out of despair) but these had blown up very soon after I bought it. Replacements had gone almost instantly too (1-2000...

Re: headlight switch replacement (non-fog to fog?)

What do you mean by SC mirrors SD panel? SC isn't even where it is supposed to be on the left side. I'm really puzzled. My mate kind of did a dodgy independent wiring of fogs. Never again. I am all too keen to take it out now due to grave safety concerns - wires are getting warm and it looks extreme...

Re: headlight switch replacement (non-fog to fog?)

Thanks for reply. The trouble is I can't even find the SC fuse box that is supposed to be on the left side of the dashboard in my RHD car. I asked the stealership and even VW helpline to no avail, other than a "generous" offer for an expensive scan. The right box (SD?) and one in engine ba...

headlight switch replacement (non-fog to fog?)

Hi, I have a problem with a lights switch or maybe even something deeper. After my mate fiddled trying to get foglights installed, my main lights would come on when the key is inserted. The switch won't do anything. Lights also come on when the switch is removed completely. The original switch has 3...

Re: Suspension question

I would check the wheels to make sure they are not buckled. You can balance a wheel that has a flat on it or is not true but when you try and run it you will feel the runout. The same kind of thing can happen with tyres certain brands seem quite prone to going out of shape. You can usually see thes...

Suspension question

My 58 plate Highline DSG 2.0TDI CR on standard 17" wheels has a knackered left front corner (hidden present from previous owner), so it will need at least new front shocks. It already had a few other suspension bits changed. I know I have a choice of putting OEM or equivalent ones or make it a ...
