Hi All,
Just got the car back from an MOT and service with vag technik in Manchester (Who were amazing!) clean bill of health except for a headlight problem that has been doing my head in for a while...
Under hard acceleration or going over a bump, one or the other headlight will cut out and the dash will display the warning for the appropriate light. There's often a slight flicker before it goes out. Sometimes it is one, sometimes both. It appears to be a short as if I turn the headlights off and on again they immediately start functioning. Technik informed me of a "ground to live" short stored in the fault logs. It is often worse after heavy rain which makes me suspect water ingress.
Bottom line, I don't really want to replace the ballasts, what else can I do?
