Replace the sensor and see if it clears..

Or double check to make sure the connector is seated properly.

Where exactly is this sensor located?

Where exactly is this sensor located?

I am assuming it's this sensor located on the headlamp support bracket which I have circled here from a photo with my bumper off




How do I go about getting to remove the sensor, from the engine bay? Take the headlight out? Here is a photo of the sensor (brown) on the headlight bracket

FIXED......

So yes, it’s the sensor above. To access it remove a few torx screws on the fender liner and peel it back, just like you were replacing a fog light bulb. Clear code with Vagcom, done!

And yes my car is still under warranty but for a $60 fix, saves me time and aggravation of going to the dealer, reflashing my car, etc. etc.

Black duct tape works well! Just kidding!
