3 Amber's Surely Can't Be Good... Can It?!?
« on: 17 November 2017, 01:50 »
Newbie Golf Mk4 Owner here so pls, be gentle...  :undecided:I'm 2 weeks in from buying my gorgeous 1.6L 2002 Petrol Mk4 an over the last few days I've had 3 Amber warning lights come on individually and at separate unrelated times and have all remained on ever since, none of them have flickered, flashed or stopped or gone off an would appreciate some constructive advice from anyone who may have experienced a similar problem as I haven't got a Scrooby nor do I fancy taking to a garage an being stung only to find out later I could of fixed it myself. The lights in question like I said there all Amber and in the order they came on was, the ABS light, then a circle with a car skidding in the middle, then the third was the engine management light, so if anyone's got any idea I'd really appreciate, THANX...
Regards,

I'm not too sure if all Mk4s are the same but TDI comes up with some weird stuff at times. This might sound strange, but try it anyway...check that all external bulbs, including brake lights, are working 100% as they should. My ABS light comes on when a brake light bulb has blown. The EML can come on for any number of reasons, but the first thing I would do is disconnect the battery for about 30 mins...hook it back up and see what you get. I use that time to check everything under the bonnet...all fluid levels etc. In almost every case with mine, the battery trick has worked...only time it didn't, it was the brake light switch...see separate thread in this section.

Good luck.

The first thing I would do is scan the car for faults..... this will give you an idea why they are on.

If you can't tell from the fault protocol then post it here and we'll have a look.

Apologies to the OP...I didn't realise you had the VCDS stuff. The obvious way to go.
