Good evening all,
Unfortunately I try to solve problems myself but to no avail I am outside of my realm, I have been dealing with some rather strange issues on my mk7 gti
please see obd 11 scan codes,
How it started:
•low beam headlight out intermittent (sometimes could bang the housing and it would come back on)
Attempted fix:
•Swap bulbs/ ballast, no fix or only temporary
How it’s going:
• bulb out no hitting housing to get bulb back on, + afs error: power steering seems to be acting wacky once light is triggered. Confirmed that without bulb on, bulb housing still can move insisting afs motor still works good , all other bulbs work normal.
other notes/thoughts:
•swapped taillights to urban joke setting (don’t know if this has relevance)
•have not swapped afs modules*
•I no longer have obd11 pro for writing code $$
•Alignment is slightly off on steering wheel
just trying not to spend extra money on hardware (new headlight/modules) or software(expensive dealer scans) that I don’t won’t fix
I am considering a new headlight assembly just need to make sure that will fix it.
thanks for reading, you have been great help in the past!
