Thank you !!! But it was not on before I change the battery... The old battery was 680A and the new one is 700A.. do you think it's related ?

I did read a section in the manual the other day about things you would have to do when changing the battery. I remember something about the windows not opening until you did something. Maybe check the manual and see if it lists anything.

Thank you but I already changed the battery... the green light indicator came on and was stuck there... even when the lights are turned off...

it never did this before til I change the battery... Also... I noticed that my xenon lights doesnt adjust anymore... They suppose to move when I turn on the lights... The lights are working fine, its just they dont move when I start them...

When you replace the battery the lights need to be re-adapted as well as your remotes for your keys, and your radio might require a security code to be entered.

What do you mean by re-adapted ? Do I need to put a code ? What do I need to do ? Thanks again...

Get someone with a vag-com to do it for you.

I went to a garage I know... The guy plugged it and for example... I have the airbag lights on... he scanned it... couldnt find the fault in VAG-COM... I did the job with the wires under the seat... and the light stays on with no fault on the screen... this gets my nerves... LOL

Thanks again for your help man...

Yeah I told you it was the DRL, unless you recode it to not have DRL's then it will stay on.
