Headlight warning buzzer tone - not working.

Post by lugars4 » Sun Feb 18, 2018 6:29 pm

Seems to have stopped working on my 06 RS4.

The interior light works with the door, so i know its not the switch.

Any other ideas? So far its caused me 2x flat battery incidents!!

Thanks

I had the same thing, there's a buzzer built into the instrument cluster. It will need to come out and get sent off to a specialist to get a new one soldered in. Works out pretty expensive, an hour to take it out, the fix fee, which was about £150 plus an hour to put it back in. Once it's out the car won't move as a lot of the gauges send data to the ECU and if it can't see them it won't play. Took a week or so for mine to come out, get sent off and then come back and get fitted.

Thanks,

Il have to run a test with VCDS to be sure.

Probably a coincidence, but it stopped working around the same time i de-activated my TPMS using VCDS.....

If not, il pull the instrument one day and fit a new buzzer.
