Lookinglost Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Hi. I have a 2012 A3 1.4TFSI. It’s a cat C. The head lamps were originally bi xenon and have been replaced with standard halogen. I have warnings coming up on the dash regarding, error on adaptive motor, main beam not working for more than 5 seconds. What can be done to resolve the problems? Best Regards.

niedzial1983 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Possibly you need to code with vcds and tell the car it has halogen not xenon , also they may need some rewiring . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookinglost Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 Tried vcds. No halogen option. Thanks for input though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookinglost Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 The local independent audi/Vw tried coding which I assume is vcds. They went through it with me watching on. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 You can retrofit xenons to halogen a3 so there must be a way to code halogens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
