Load area LED bulbs go out after a few seconds...

Hi guys, bit of help needed. I have a T6 kombi, I've changed all the lights to LED and added some LED spotlights too. Problem I have is, they don't stay on for long enough when I open the tailgate. Literally a few seconds. Is this something I can change with VCDS? TIA
 
Thanks for that. I'm a noob when it comes to VCDS so hopefully it won't be too difficult to find.

mmi is right... should be default value of 21 in Channel 38 which equates to 10.5 minutes..?

See whats in there and let us know....

Battery seems fine. Starts ok. I'll check VCDS tomorrow and see what is there. Hopefully I can find it easily
 
Right, plugged it in this morning. It was set at 21 so I am thinking it is a battery issue. Is it just a case of taking it on a run to recharge or something more sinister? Also, a list of faults popped up when I did a scan. See below20210112_093717.jpg

We'd need to see the individual faults. Can you post a scan?

I copied and pasted everything. Sorry
Any chance to post the VIN of the van to better identify the type of the van - just leave 5 last digits off. Also what's the mileage in the scan?
Got a bit curious of seeing in the scan: 121 incidents :unsure: of fault 31103 - SCR NOx Catalyst Bank 1 - P20EE 00 [104] - Efficiency too Low
But you don't have the EML light on? (Yellow engine symbol)
 
Last 5 of VIN [redacted]
mileage is 112k
No EML light on dash.

What does fault 31103 relate to? I'm hoping these faults are easily rectified as I've only just bought the van and can't afford to spend loads on it :oops:

Sorry about poor wording. Actually it was the beginning of the VIN that's the interesting bit. By looking the other components I'm assuming it's actually?
WV1ZZZ7HZHH***** thus N1 class (=panel van/Kombi) and model year 2017.

Fault 31103 indicates elevated NOx level - which was an annoying issue. However, recent engine software should have taken care of that issue. The update should have fixed also false alarm of fault 33262, which also was logged.

The interesting bit is that it looks like your engine has got an update - which woke up my curiosity.
Yours:
Part No SW: 04L 906 056 KL HW: 04L 907 445
Component: R4 2.0l TDI H02 6166
Without update it would have been:

Was the van with you at 106103 miles (170756km)?

Any chance you could do the following with VCDS and post the result file?

VCDS -> Applications -> Controller Channel Map ->
1610552784203.png

Tick/fill boxes as above and hit Go

VCDS flashes screens for a moment (when finished hit "Done, Go Back") and there will be files adpmap-01-... and blockmap-01-... in folder C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Logs\....

Then just upload/attach the files here.

-------------------
Apologies deviating from your original problem. However, the
03434 - Output for Terminal 30G Interior Lights
007 - Short to Ground - Intermittent
suggests there was possibly too low voltage for a moment: Date: 2020.12.19 Time: 12:23:13.
 
Yes it is a 2017 Kombi. I bought the van maybe 6 weeks ago. I didn't have it at 106k. Any idea why it may have been updated and the 31103 left un-updated?

I'll plug VCDS in in the and report back with the findings. Also, no need to apologise. Any help is very much appreciated.
 
03434 - Output for Terminal 30G Interior Lights
007 - Short to Ground - Intermittent
Could suggest a fault on the lighting circuit
 
Thanks. Do you know how I may be able to investigate this?
I'd start by removing all the bulbs you've replaced with the originals and see if the lights stay on as they should. If they do, replace each bulb individually and test after each.
