Fault code 01089 - re occurring!

(1/1)

GibboVR:
Hello,

Had the car a few weeks and it keeps throwing the same code:

01089
Switch for tensioning strut stowed (F204) - sporadic - 002-Lower

Had a look online including ross tech and its really not clear, someone must have experienced the same

Thanks

I had the same code thrown constantly was driving me nuts trying to find out what it was.  Have you removed the cat?  Sounds weird but I had a de-cat pipe installed and the 01089 code was always thrown exactly the same time as the emissions code was thrown

GibboVR:
No engine etc is totally standard.

Trouble is the MK5 GTI i had before would throw the same code, and i never managed to get to the bottom of it then.

Some people say its related to the charcoal canister but it often comes back anyway.

echojoe:
very weird, I didn't even get that far into finding an answer!
