  • Driver Side Fog Lamp?

    Hi,

    So my driver side Fog Lamp isn't working, shouldn't I be getting a warning light?

    Or does that show that it isn't a bulb and I should give the dealer a buzz?

    Try and disconnect the other side and see if it brings up the error.

      RE: Driver Side Fog Lamp?

      It may not be set correctly in the cecm module to detect it. If you don't have a cable, try to get someone to check. Mine was happy without any fogs it wasn't set. When I set monitoring, it detected when the lights were unplugged

        Thanks, I might have to disconnect the passenger one tomorrow. No access to a VAG-COM unfortunately.

        The car is only a few months old and I've only used the fogs a few times so I'm surprised one has gone. But you do get bad globes sometimes I guess.

          .. remember if VW is anything like people like ford, the globes are covered for the life of the new car warranty

                I initially thought it might be something little like that when stationary, but it clearly isn't working when I turn them on while driving.

                It's going in to the dealer next week when my new wheels arrive so they said they'll look at it then.
