Auto lights.

The operation of yours are not normal.

Glad I'm not the only one that has problems with their fog!!!

Could be a wiring issue but most likely it'll be the coding in the computer.

I've seen that "corning function" is a selectable option via VAGCOM. I wouldn't think an Aussie car would be configured that way normally (regarding all the rules & regs on the use of fogs).

Yes, would be good to know if turning left (left fog lights up) and if turn right (right fog lights up). If so, then that cornering option has been turned on. If that's the case and you don't want it, a dealer or someone with a VAGCOM could turn it off.

I thought that too but the Sports Pack option (includes foglights among other things) and the standalone foglight option on the Mk VI is marketed by VW Australia as "Foglights with Static Cornering Function" so it must pass the requirements...

I can imagine being pulled over if a cop saw you coming around the bend with the cornering light active and pulling you over thinking that a) you were driving with foglights on b) knew it was wrong because you turned them off as you came around the bend and saw the cop and c) one of your globes has blown

It's bad enough with the Mk V constantly being told you've left your lights on and one of your reverse lights has blown... I'd hate to be getting told all the time that one of my foglights has blown too

Thanks for all your comments, most helpful!

I hadn't realized that the fog lights may come on when the left or right indicator lights are on as well. I'll have to check tonight.
Cheers

The fog lights shouldn't come on with the indicators but only if you are turning right or left (ie. if you have the cornering function).

The missus had a gentle "you're lights are on, dear" reminder from a lady when she got out of the Golf which had the lights on delay function active. If that reminder was from a guy, should I be worried?!!

I've checked my lights and with the switch in auto, the fogs do actually light up when the corresponding indicator light is on.

Yeah I checked the manual for dad's car tonight and it said they are supposed to come on with the indicator or when turning on a sharp bend so it sounds like everything is working as it should.
