Default Uh oh....what's this engine code mean?

Just got my camshaft tensioner replaced, and also timing belt service... was driving home and this thing came up on the display. I restarted the car a few times, and everytime I put it in drive the 1st time after starting the car beeps and shows this, and it stays on the display....

Default Make sure your sensors are hooked up and clear the module with Vag

It may have just threw the code while you were messing around with the suspension. My body shop did that and I just had to clear it from the headlight auto leveling module and it stayed away.

Default ahhh... got it. I'll check it with my VAG tomorrow... so >>>>

I need to go into the headlight module and clear any codes in there? I've never messed with the individual modules, just the general fault codes part....

Or do I need to recalibrate my headlights somehow?

Default Can't remember the exact module name might be xenon range. I know I just poked around a little and

It made sense at the time. I didn't recalibrate anything once the code cleared they started working correctly again.

Default Thanks.. those links are awesome... found a helpful thread... but didn't work>>>>

I can adjust the # value (tried 10-60) in the recode-07 module, but...

when I go to Basic Settings, it shows "error"

and when I try to clear the fault code, the code won't clear.....<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/775700.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/775700.phtml</a></li></ul>
