I've just bought a 2012 Q7 S-line. The garage had the steering column changed I think due to a fault, and it took almost 8 weeks to get the part from Audi, which was fitted by a non-dealer specialist in Glasgow. When I picked the car up last week, a new offside geadlamp unit had been fitted. The lens was pretty bad so I assumed they changed it to get it through the MOT. I drove the car home, but within a mile, a fault light showed up on the dash saying the right side dipped headlamp was faulty. I took the car back today and they cleared the fault but it returned after a mile or so driving.
I used to own a 2014 Volvo XC90 and they had fault codes if the bulbs were non-compatible.
Any ideas on what I should look for here? Compare bulbs seems an obvious one, or does the new bulb/headlamp unit need coded into the car? Going back to the car dealer seems a waste of time.
The nearside headlamp unit is the original.
Other question - how much is it to buy/obtain a second key for the car?
Many thanks.
