Golf mk7 / Re: GOLF 7 RAINLIGHT SENSOR PROBLEM.PLEASE HELP
« Last post by Scottie-gti on 11 May 2024, 20:28 »
Sounds daft but have you left the battery disconnected for a good 30 minutes or more ? While it’s disconnected disconnect the sensor and give it a spray with some contact cleaner, failing that just give it some time before going back to the drawing board?

Thanks for the tips, i checked the live data and the sensor with vcds , bosch kts, autocom they dont have any calibration for the sensor in live data you can see rain quantity or something like that if i put water on the sensor it changes but does nothing...maybe the next week i have a friend who has original odis and vcp online and he will check if he can not say anything im gonna give up.. maybe i will try an other sensor.. but i dont think its the sensor because 2 sensors are triggering the same fault  or iam jist unlucky  :smiley:

Had this same kind of issue on my Mercedes concrete mixer , it had a new windscreen put in after a large stone hit me, the truck was throwing up a fault code related to the sensor, so cleared the code and the windscreen guy came back out with a new gel pad ,  the wipers wouldn’t sweep even when it was raining but the sensor was working as the lights would go on when it was dark and stuff, so I just settled for the fact I’d have to manually put the wipers on , and then I left the wipers in the auto position when I went on brake and low and behold they started to sweep when it detected water again, so I’m thinking it may have to calibrate it’s self somehow if left in the auto position for awhile???

I’ve used masking tape on the clear backing to align and then can just peel the white backing off and stick it down.

Not had this issue so just trying to think what I would try first. Check fuses to wiper, disconnect battery for a while to see if that resets controller, then start the hunt for electrical connections and wiper switches. Had a problem with my mk6 speed limiter that was internal switch contacts.

An old tip but, if you hold the voice button for a few seconds it activates Android Auto to listen for your instructions.

I agree with that !!! My first mk8 R was an absolute nightmare, one of the first to arrive i think and i paid the price lol.. Have to admit the CS is great, no issues with the software now thankfully , use apple carplay most of the time

So would you change your car just to get the new screen?

No. It would be a very expensive screen. I was just pointing out that we've paid a handsome price for being the early adopters. If swapping the ID4 screen into my Golf was as easy as "borrowing" the warning triangle kit from her previous car, I'd do it now  :grin:
