The engine management light has been displayed for a while now,
I've tried plugging vag-com in but it won't interface with my car.

However...i fitted HID's last week, and obviously the management light was reset when i disconnected the battery to fit them...but i was expecting the engine management light to come back on after a short while but it hasn't come back on :)

So im now curious as to whether the engine management/or the fault logged on the system was anything to do with the headlights?

Is this even possible?

Or is this just coincidence?

probably just coincidence, probably had a fault logged from something else and was never reset.

Yeah battery disconnection has probably cleared the fault code.

Yeh i understand this, i disconnected the battery a few times in the past to reset the ECU but the fault always seem to remain in the system, as the engine management light always come back on after 2/3 days.

But since fitting the HID's the engine management hasn't come back on - not that im complaining!!!
I've done over 200 mile since fitting them, and it was over 7days ago.

Must be a co-incidence.

coincidence -

never came on for me matey!

Nooooo im saying the opposite mate!

My engine management light has been on for a while, long before i fitted the HID's.

BUT...i fitted the HID's and the engine management light went OFF! :)

So im wondering if its possible to have any faults related to the original head lamps etc.
