Title: Dash lights - VAG COM?
Post by: Yorkie92 on August 31, 2014, 12:24:36 pm

Hello

My engine light has come on and I have my scangauge plugged in but it only tells me basic codes so I don't know what is wrong with car plus I pushed a bit of plastic on the floor and now the airbag light is on  :sad1:
Is there anyone near lowestoft who could clear the airbag code and give me a better description of what all the codes mean and how much would they charge plus I wanted to see if I would be able to activate things like dipping wing mirror when in reverse and others?

Thank you in advance for any help with this  :smiley:

I've had the airbag light come on a few times when kids have kicked the plastic covers covering the wires. In the end i invested in a VCDS.

I think you can only get the mirror to dip if you have the memory seats.

With an android phone you can download carista

It can do minor coding and delete airbag lights

Pro version needed and only around £10
