Hi all, I drive a 57 plate Audi A3 8P with Xenon plus headlights.
After lowering car on H&R springs the headlights are very low.
I took it to a garage and they wound them back up using the adjuster on top of the headlights.
I drove the car that night and got flashed several times from on coming vehicles and noticed my lights were jumping up and down with the bumps instead of staying fairly level like they used to.
I jumped on the forum and did some research and found Ross-Tech give you the instructions on how to adjust the front and rear level sensors via VCDS.
Basic Setting
Headlight Adjustment
[Select]
[55 - Xenon Range]
[Basic Settings - 04]
Group 001
[Go!]
Activate the Basic Setting.
[ON/OFF/Next]
The adjustment should now be learned.
[Done, Go Back]
Don't forget to check/clear fault codes afterwards.
[Close Controller, Go Back - 06]
I took it to the garage today for them to do this basic setting but it came up with Fault Code 01539 - Headlights Not Adjusted.
I read NHN wrote on a similar thread if the security code had been entered before the basic settings were carried out but the mechanic said it didn't give him the option to enter it?
I took some photos but unfortunately they are too large to attach. I will try and load them up soon.
I now have a permanent error message on the DIS saying "headlight range control defective"
I would really appreciate any help. Thanks

- The meas. block field now shows "Wait" and should switch to "Adjust Headlights" then (this may take up to 10 seconds).
- Adjust the headlights using their manual adjusting screws as referenced against a suitable aiming target.
The adjustment should now be learned.
