2017 Caravelle Executive - No auto headlights?

[macdrack]

Hi all.
Just picked up an Oct 2017 Caravelle Executive UK 4Motion which seemingly has auto wipers(first position on stick did nothing until it rained). Reading around it seems that the Lights and Vision pack would have been standard on the Executive in 2017 I think. So am I right in thinking that it should have the 'Auto' position on the headlight switch? I also seem to be missing the leaving home/coming home settings.
Any more knowledgeable people able to confirm?
I'll be checking with the dealer in the AM, but i'd like some other opinions.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Gav

Auto lights and wipers come together as a package, so the sensor should be there. My guess is that at some point the headlight switch has been changed.

Firstly, someone local to you may let you try their switch. It pops out in seconds. Turn it to Auto and cover the sensor on the windscreen and see what happens.

The coming/leaving home function only works in the Auto position. So if it is the wrong switch, then that will fix that too.

Oh, and if you are going to the dealers, all the switches that look the same, are the same, so insist that the dealer tries one from another van/car.

@macdrack How did you get on?

Thanks for the input.
Fella at the dealers day off so left it till tomorrow.
I guess the question is whether the wires are there. Hopefully it's a switch swap.
Should the coming/leaving home have settings in the MFD?

So quizzed the dealer. He's off to investigate. I suspect next week for an update.

So interestingly the dealer tells me that the Caravelle Executive T6 doesn't have Light and Vision pack as standard. But the price lists from 2016/12017 on this site would suggest otherwise assuming I'm reading it correctly.
Anyone know if VW service centres have access to build details?

You are reading it correctly. An option on the SE, but standard on the Executive. Interestingly the brochure states that the Light and Vision pack includes Rain Sensing Wipers, which you have.

Have you seen this? https://www.t6forum.com/threads/vip-member-benefit-build-sheet-codes.5583/

Thanks for the heads up on the Build sheet codes.
I managed to get some info on the codes and cross-ref to the sheet on the Van.
Not every option on the van seems to be on its sheet, but what is there only lists:

8N3 SWS Windshield wiper intermittent control with rain sensor

No mention of headlights, but as I said not every option is coded (at least to my eyes) - rear parking with camera, swivel front seats spring to mind.
I guess the trick is to know whether one of the headlight codes would be there on a van that actually has it fitted - 9I3 perhaps?

Is it an Irish van? They have different specs.

 

[macdrack]

Not that I believe.
Some progress, got agreement from the Dealer that they'll try a switch swap and see what happens as they agree that the presence of Auto Wipers and no Auto headlights is very weird. Now just need a gap in the Restrictions to be able to get back there.
