Golf mk7 / B116229 fault
« Last post by 2007GTI on 08 January 2026, 16:56 »
Scanned my car today with OBDEleven and got this fault B116229.

Looking on Google seems like a common issue and theres there a repair kit you can buy to fix it, without having to replace whole selector.

Just wondered if anyone has ever done it?

Replaced my D3S bulbs with LED's and they are a vast improvement. As said Headlights need to be removed bit of a faf but doable without removing the bumper. Lots of DIY vids on YouTube.

Beam pattern is exactly the same, passes the MOT's.

Go ceramic rather than wax. Better and much longer lasting. I used Gtechniq wheel armour and very happy. The wheels just jet wash clean (with some Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel first).

was thinking both tbh.  far as i know, you can apply wax over ceramic for greater protection and re-apply in intervals every 2-3 months until the car needs ceramic coating again.  Would think that wax over ceramic would add extra layer of protection

Heard a good trick today when looking for a decent air freshener.

Take out the cabin filter and spray it with a nice aftershave or scent and lasts a while thru the vents?

Was looking at these.

Hi all, dipped headlight blew. What’s a good replacement that will upgrade the original poor lights?
Hi there dipped and main are the same bulb. It’s just a shutter that goes up and down to shield a portion of the light. The xenon replacement is just a D3S (replace both). The painful bit is having to remove the headlight to fit them. You can go down the road up upgrading to LED’s which you can find more info on in here by using the search function. Good luck.

Major service at VW main dealer, with brake fluid change, it does feel a little smoother to drive?
