     Hi, may anyone help,?
    I have a golf GT TDI 140, and have just put in some R32 xenons with the ballast pack on them.
    If the car is not started the xenons work peffect. soon as i start the engine,after about 1 minute the headlamps start to flash like crazy!!
    IS this a coding issue on ECU?
    Has anyone else experienced this issue??

    What do I need to do to rectify?!?!?!

    I cant drive at night now......

    Good to see you getting into the forum spirit mr remstar.......... that was a bit rich of you considering most of your other 17 posts are asking for help from other members.

    I doubt even VW themselves would charge you 100 quid for the service!

     we all need to charge him for advice from now on then.

     

    Perhaps we can back date our charges for all help given so far? :p
