Title: No "lights on" warning
Post by: Callum82 on 05 May 2013, 19:22
As the title says... If i leave my sidelights on by accident there is no warning, audible or otherwise.

Twice in one week I have had a flat and had to be bump started by my new work colleagues. When I leave in the morning it's dark, when I arrive at work it's light so easily done when you're half asleep!

Any ideas?

I think it's something to with the door micro switches in the door latch, VAGCOM should show up any faults...someone near you will have a lead and a pc/laptop...whereabouts are you
