Are the bulbs LEDs?

If so try normal incandescent bulbs and see if those work.

The circuit is monitored and if the current is not within the normal parameters for a 5W bulb then the control module will shut the circuit down.

 

Thanks for the reply, No they're just the normal incandescent bulbs

 

Sounds as if the circuit is shit down and needs resetting. If you have access to VCDS reset it. If not then disconnecting the battery may reset it.

Note if you do decide to disconnect the battery the steering and ESP warning lights will stay on until the Carbis driven a few hundred yards to recalibrate the steering angle sensor.

 

Unfortunately I don't have acces to a VCDS so will try disconnecting the battery any other suggestions if that doesn't bring them back to life?

 

Sorry, I'm out of ideas.

What did the previous owner say about the issue as you must have saw the warning when you bought the car?

 

It was bought from a dealership and they delivered it as I hadnt passed my test but it was booked and it was the car I wanted but he said he thought it was the bulbs and I didn't really think anything of it at the time

 

Well rather than messing about I would get in touch with the dealership and have them fix it.

No way should a dealership deliver a car with a fault. Even if it had been just the bulbs, they should have replaced them. Now you've confirmed it's not the bulbs, then get back in touch with them and have it fixed.

For future reference, if someone says something is a simple fix then ask yourself if it was that simple why has it not been fixed then.
