Bi-Xenon issues GTI6

[Sute]

I wonder if anyone else (with Bi-xenon’s) has the same issue.

No matter where you leave the light switch (0, Auto, Park, Lights), the low beam + rear lights are always on.

The dealer told me that they have informed the VW about this and apparently they are already working on a fix.

I know they have the DRL feature but they are the tiny lights housed under the xenons.

You got your Bi-Xeonons already?! I'm still waiting for my one.

Sounds as though there is a configuration issue or something like that with the car. I doubt it's a fault related to the Xenon's specifically. I wouldn't stress too much mate - driving with your headlights on even during the day is the "daytime running lights" of old. They'll be fine until the dealer finds the solution for you

Yeah mate, I was soo lucky to snub this destaned for a Melbourne dealer as a shopfloor display model - as it came fully loaded with all the factory options.

Don't feel bad but I only order/pay for it on the 20 Jan 10, and got it on Tuesday 08 Feb 10.

VW dealer update on the Xenon issue.

The dealer was kind enough to show me the offical VW letter stating the aknowledgment of the Xenon issue - always on. VW is working on a solution and will be installed on cars in due course at the next service.

I mentioned the replacement bulb policy and apparently it is free of charge (cost $280) until the fix is applied. I'll see if this can be given in writting.

Im expecting mine mid april, do you think it would have been rectified by the time i get mine? :|

So the DRL is the little light under projector beam?

Cheers!

At least VW are being rather helpful with this issue, replacement parts hassel free is really all you could want until a fix is in place.. Good to see them looking after their customers..

Hi Guys,

I just picked up my GTI on last tuesday.. YAY !! Finally !! after waiting since november last year !.. So i opted for the Bi Zenons cause i luv them.. but the thing is the damn thing has the Day time driving lights always set to on. Ive tried for the life of me to turn them off from the instructions in the manual about the pressing the left indicator down, bull back to flash then turn iginition to on.. but that doesnt work if you have Xenons. The only way to turn this off i heard is by connectiing the VAG COM and going into the settings and switching off that way. I dont want the xenons on during the day when im driving everyday.. those bulbs cost an arm and a leg!! Anyone else has this issue? Me not happy jan !!
