Hi.

My Passat 3C is scaring me.

"Leaving home" (also turning on the lights when I approach) is disabled. Actually, it's always disabled because otherwise it would constantly trigger the xenon headlights.

"The other night, he turned on the light... but for a much shorter time than the 120 seconds I had set, in case I ever needed to use it. No one turned it on, and according to the MFA+ system, it should have been off?!"

icon_arrow.gif I believe it's a one-off occurrence, and I'm programming it (using MFA+) on and off repeatedly, and everything works as it should.

icon_exclaim.gif Yesterday evening, the same thing happened again; he simply turned on the burners. This time, the strange phenomenon disappeared after a ride (with the lights on): The next time it flickers, the burners remain cold.

icon_question.gif What the hell is this - Can the vehicle's body control module } decide whether it wants to be broken or not?

I was even thinking about doing a hard reset (disconnecting the battery).

The fact that the radio "forgot" something for a while shouldn't be related to this, should it?!

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Martin, unfortunately, I don't have any advice, but I have to make a terribly stupid comment that I can't help but say...

"....maybe he wants to tell you that he needs to go for a walk..." icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif

Don't misunderstand.

That's one of my biggest wishes!

A green DPF light means: "I'm regenerating, if you want, drive me around a bit until I'm finished."
The yellow one is supposedly called "Get me going, or you can throw the whole thing away."

Well, if he bothers me again, I'm going to steal his battery.

".icon_rolleyes.gif If you look at the PDE cleaning thread in addition to the above-mentioned new lighting issues, and consider the immature DPF problems, I wouldn't be able to suppress specific thoughts in that direction, especially since I bought the Passat, contrary to my actual belief, "only mature technology with the absolutely unavoidable extras."

Because while the warranty is still active, you "only" have the hassle, but afterwards, you also have to deal with all the associated costs. }

"That's quite a peculiar behavior, especially since it was described differently in the MFA documentation, which I understand correctly... So, it wasn't a kind of reset that had something to do with the radio's "data loss," right?"

hmm...

Have you tested the battery yet? That's the first thing that comes to mind... for some reason.

Which BNSG (part number/data version) is currently installed with which current coding?

Okay, please provide the text you would like me to translate from German to English.

After this part of the system had been giving me trouble for three evenings in a row, I simply re-saved the encoding.

(yes, yes, I know, not quite stock anymore icon_wink.gif).
