Title: Lights constantly on when set to auto
Post by: ksamyui on June 04, 2023, 07:40:37 pm

My lights are constantly on regardless of whether it’s light or dark outside when on auto. Any ideas?

Could be faulty light sensor , part of the mirror pack on the windscreen I think.

I need to plug VCDS in for a prob with my cabin temp controls; you recon this would show up in VCDS too?
