Ickyketseddie 89 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 You need to plug into vag com,chances are one of the abs sensors has failed. No point guessing just plug it in and check. Not sure how you disable the air bag if it's been removed?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
isobarboy 25 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Airbags are back in. Just unscrewed them from the dashboard and unpkugged for a dashboard removal so I presume thats triggered them. Where do I go for a diagnostic? And how much? As ive seen the equipment go for thousands on ebay and I dont have that kinda cash lying8ng around. Lol Link to post Share on other sites

Ickyketseddie 89 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 You can get a cable from ebay for a few quid and get the software from Ross tech then diagnose it yourself. Can't remember what it costs. Not a lot I don't think?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 The software is free, unfortunately you need the £250 official cable to use it properly. Link to post Share on other sites
