How to fix the front assist malfunction not available on Volkswagen Golf VII

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Warning light – error code

In this video, we will see how to fix the problem of the front assist not working on the Volkswagen Golf VII: you will only need an OBDII reader to plug into the EOBD socket, because we know for sure that it is not broken, it just needs to be recalibrated, and we can do it ourselves. We need to park our car in front of a flat wall, at a distance of 100/120 cm, then connect our OBDII, and connect to the control app, scroll down to the basic settings, and touch the adaptive cruise control calibration. Select "static" and make a small adjustment, which should only take a few seconds. If we look at the dashboard, we will notice that the error light has disappeared; now it will not be as precise as if it had been recalibrated by the dealer, but it works perfectly and we will have saved at least two hundred euros.
