What has changed with the coding update?
T6 OEM LED-headlight retrofit
Evening, Everything seems to be working ok on the lights front, dash warnings are gone, and all indications are correct, including MFD. Just working my way through the fault list now. I am sure snooping around in the "drop-downs" there was a basic settings....could have dreamed it. I hope to have time on it tomorrow afternoon. I am finding it all very interesting this VCDS and coding( for an oldie like me)- but don't want a dead van on my drive if I mess it up lol. I have included the latest scan....the sporadic event in address line 10 no faults but flags up! It says something like unit not registered? Still no joy with the ALWR.....I will owe you and F-roger a beer of two!
Calibration/basic setting is done by parking on flat level ground and going into module 55 and running basic settings, this will tell the vehicle what its base parameters are, if done succesfully the headlights will dive and then level and the fault will be gone but you cannot run basic settings when the levelling controller cant see the level sensors which is what your fault scan is reporting !
You need to check that level sensor wiring and connections and get them working first

Pauly - went back to basics! All voltages present and correct. I then noticed the sensor plugs have a purple retaining clip....push this into place on the front sensor , probably holding the contacts off by about 3mm - fault cleared. Repeated for rear. All faults bar the radio have cleared - Basic settings done and accepted. Many thanks for your patience with an olde boy! Just the radar bracket to change...but not this weekend. Cheers Buddy

You are paying to ensure they are road legal.
Cross posting this as my factory LEDs were retrofits using the info and expert knowledge in this thread:
Main Beam 1x Flash Issue
In a nutshell, my main beam won’t flash when my lights are set to sidelight only (or AUTO during daylight).
Looking for some advice on what this could be caused by.
Many thanks

Hey all, I bought some second hand oem t6 led headlights but noticed the left headlight is missing the bottom mounting tab. I do not have the part of the tab that has broken of so plastic welding/jb weld is not an option. Official vw headlight tab repair kits are not made for t6 oem leds, so i was wondering if I will experience problems mounting it only with the top 2 mounting tabs and the side one? Since it also has thick guide pins on the housing that slot into the chassis/bumper I do not see the headlight moving while driving with only the 3 remaining tabs mounted. Any advice or recommendations? Thanks
Given that all three types of headlights for the T6 mount in the same way, I can't see there being any difference in that part of the headlight body or mounting tabs. I would have thought that the repair kit will work. Having said that, it will be more than secure with three fixings instead of four. Triangulation and all that.
Only kit i can find for a transporter is this one - 7E0 998 225 Volkswagen Transporter Kombi (2010 - 2011) - halogen headlights. > VAG ETKA Online > Nemiga.com - which is for a T5. When VW updated the platform to the T6 (2016–2019), they completely redesigned the headlight housing. I found this info online: "They stopped providing pre-marked screw holes or official bolt-on replacement tabs for this specific generation. In the official VW parts catalog (ETKA), no tab repair kit exists for the T6 housing." Looking at my LED headlights I indeed see no pre marked screw holes for tab repair kits or such.

Hey everyone,
I have a slight issue with my left hand LED headlight, where the DRL strobes quite erratically. This happens at full brightness and whilst dimmed when the headlights are on, at the same rate.
VCDS shows a short to positive on the left DRL.
I had put this down to a faulty DRL module, which I have tried 3 genuine units matching the same part number 4G0907697G as my original, and all have the same result.
Has anyone come across this issue before?
Many thanks to anyone that can help!

Watch some of BigClive's videos on YouTube where he repairs LED lamps, I recall flashing one's being fixed either by removing faulty LED components or replacing them with new ones.

This is what I was thinking, other than trying the good module from the other side to ensure that theory.
To confuse things somewhat, I have also tried a Chinese clone today, which solves the flashing issue but does not dim quite as much as the genuine one on the right side.
Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll have to check out the videos on the repairs, sounds like fun!
