Hey folks - Anyone in the Southampton area have access to VAGCOM?
Would be good to know to assist at meets. I've got access to Torque Pro on my phone and an OBD11 Reader if it helps.

Quick question. When you service your vehicle at a seat dealership, the report sheets you get back, is it like an MOT? Because my HIDs have never come up as a fail. Should I assume that its all good for a proper MOT? Or should I change them back to oem?
The only thing I got picked up on last time was my front tyres needed changing which was done on the same day. Yeah they also aligned my lights as well.
Depending on wether the MOT tester, HID's will fail an MOT due to not giving off a beam pattern, regardless of wether the bulbs are aligned or not.
That's not 100% true I work at a garage and was mot assistant for well over a year and never failed hids for bad beam pattern. Iv got hids myself as my pattern is as clear if my clearer than my old halogen bulbs so tbh I'd be surprised if anyone's hids fail.
Depending on if you have 'angel eyes' fitted, aswel as washer jets for your headlights. If you read the small print in your box/instructions, all HID should be used in conjunction with self levelling headlights, projector lamps, washer system for the headlight itself. My mates dad owns a garage, and I have seen many cars fail due to having HID's fitted in normal headlamps.
I'm not saying don't run them, because I have used 6000k HID's before on my previous car.
It's also a very vague subject with VOSA.
Your more than welcome to google it, and I'm pretty sure VOSA state if the headlights give of a scattered beam pattern, your car will fail an MOT, depending on MOT testers discretion.
