    Anyone else had this message pop up on their new golfs? ie Running Lights

    Ive checked and my lights seem to be working. Can I disable this somehow? Or it's a VW job?

    Had that on my Passat yesterday Had it running in the garage to charge the battery. headlights on auto, I raised the door about 500mm to let a breeze blow through and when I started it up got that icon.

    Tried everything but it wouldnt go out. All lights working correctly. Turned car off and restarted Still the same Shut it down and then closed garage door Restarted and all good Icon gone. Mine has Xenons which do the up down sideways bit when starting.

    Maybe the differing light upset them. Only time Ive ever seen it.
    I note you have it in cruise but not activated as well. otherwise total kms would show there.

    Interesting!
    My alert has now gone. It was on the majority of the day while driving around. On my way home this afternoon it wasn't there. I hope it doesn't come back.
    thanks for that feedback Hillbilly, appreciate it.

    Update: So, after a week with no alert, it has come back on, yesterday and still on today, I got out of the car and one of the running lights are not working. Pretty annoying considering my car is 3 weeks old, and that my previous car (2003 ford focus) never had a headlight bulb go out.
    Is something like this covered under warranty? If not, is something like this easy to do at home? And if i start pulling **** apart are warranties going to become VOID?

    annoyed. Oh and some rattles are starting to annoy me in the dash/seats area, especially the one coming from the steering wheel area.

    Had that happen to me last year. Took it back & they replaced it while I waited. Under warranty.
    Booked it in first & told them I wanted to wait.

    Get them to fix it on the 1,500km service, bugger taking it in twice.
    But seriously you would think that the dealer would have done all software updates pre-delivery, they probably charged you north of a grand for pre-delivery.
