Default Thanks, I don't see anything ripped

I have a VAGCOM so I ran it. It's not showing any brake related faults. How can the light in the dash be on but VAGCOM not picking up any errors?

Not sure if that would trigger an error in VCDS. It's technically just a warning light just like the low washer fluid is. I bet if you ran a scan with no washer fluid you wouldn't get an error either.

Default A couple more things that started happening to the car shortly after

The adaptive headlight warning came on (both headlights work though)
and the there's a check engine light. VCDS says it has to do with air flow measurement. Probably the MAFs need cleaning.
