Title: New car and need a bit of help please
Post by: Sandman on November 06, 2016, 04:24:04 pm

Well I collected my 05 gti yesterday and love it so far but on my way home the abs, esp and tyre pressure lights came on. I suspect this will either be a wheel speed sensor or wheel bearing and I will investigate that further but I thought I would try replacing the abs fuse first. I stupidly tried to start the car without the fuse and somehow this has triggered the airbag warning light.
I have read that you need to clear the light using the proper diagnosis tool.
Is there anybody around the Glasgow area that can help me out with this please? I don't want to have to take it to a garage the first week I got the car.
Thanks

I'm in Ireland buddy so I can't help you much. But there a list on here somewhere of VCDS owners by their location...

Thanks, I ended up buying my own so have sorted it now (and added myself to the VCDS list).
