VW Eos Rain & Light Sensor Issues Disable Auto Features

I had a similar issue with my VW Golf 2013, which shares many electrical components with your Eos. With some experience working on VW electronics, I can share what worked in my case. The main problem was bubbles forming under the gel pad that connects the rain sensor to the windshield. This caused the malfunctioning sensor to misread both rain and light conditions. The sensor calibration was completely off, affecting multiple automatic functions just like in your case. My repair involved: Complete removal of the old sensor pad, Thorough cleaning of the mounting surface, Installation of a new gel pad and sensor unit, Basic sensor calibration Total cost was 62€ including parts and labor. The repair took about an hour at my regular workshop. Before suggesting specific solutions for your car, could you provide: Current mileage, Whether the windshield has ever been replaced, If the issues started gradually or suddenly, Any recent work done near the sensor area, The specific fault code from your error memory This information would help determine if your issue is identical to what I experienced with the light sensor system. The fact that multiple automatic functions are affected simultaneously strongly suggests a main sensor unit problem rather than individual system failures.

Thanks for sharing the details. My car has 44734km and just had its annual service last month. The rain sensor and light sensor problems started after a recent windshield cleaning where I used a pressure washer. After reading your reply, I checked the area around the sensor mount and noticed slight moisture accumulation under the sensor housing. The auto sensor symptoms match exactly what you described with the gel pad issue. The fault code specifically points to a sensor malfunction in the rain-light detection unit. Considering all car components are original and the clear connection to the pressure washing incident, I will have the sensor pad replaced following your suggested repair steps.

Thanks for providing those additional details about the pressure washer incident. That definitely confirms our shared diagnosis with the rain detection system. Using high-pressure water around the sensor mount area is a known issue that can compromise the gel pad seal. The malfunctioning sensor symptoms you described perfectly match what happened in my case. When moisture gets trapped between the auto sensor and windshield, it creates false readings that affect multiple systems. A quick inspection tip: look for any whitish discoloration or air pockets in the gel pad area. In my repair, this was clearly visible once the sensor housing was removed. The pressure washer likely accelerated what would have eventually happened through normal aging of the original sensor components. Given your mileage and the clear trigger event, replacing just the gel pad and checking the main sensor unit should resolve all the automatic function issues. Make sure your workshop properly dries and preps the mounting surface to prevent future moisture problems. The repair cost should be similar to what I paid, assuming no additional sensor fault issues are found during the replacement.
