Audi A4 "right dipped headlight" problem, was Audi A4 "left dippedheadlight" problem
I posted the following message about a month ago:
>The left headlight of my 2006 Audi A4 quattro has this annoying -- and >dangerous -- problem: >1. The left headlight flickers >2. It then turns itself off >3. The message "left dipped headlight" appears >4. The message is changed to a sign indicating that the lightbulb has failed. I took my A4 to the dealer and two things were done: - the code (presumably software version) for the light were checked and it was correct - the igniter was changed And the result? - the problem with the left headlight disappeared - the same problem begins to occur on the right headlight ! Has anybody seen this weird problem? Can the left headlight circuitry somehow interact with the right one? .... Mike |

Yes, I have the same problem on the left headlight and have found if I cycle the headlight switch the headlight will light up again and most times will remain on. However it is extremely annoying and it is dangerous. I was going to take it in to the Dealer to have it addressed but wasn't sure just exactly what they would charge me for something like this. I understand if you need to replace the whole headlight assembly it is incredibly expensive. I sure hope that I don't run into the same problem that you are experiencing. I believe that there may be some electrical gremlins in these vehicles that should not be there. I also have the airbag light go off and on when I am driving. This is quite disconcerting for my wife. I have had both Porsches and BMW's before and have never experienced these kinds of problems. Overall I love the car but these gremlins are getting the better of me.:evil: -- tporsche ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tporsche's Profile: http://www.audiforum.ca/member.php?userid=5949 View this thread: http://www.audiforum.ca/showthread.php?t=16595 |
