Title: Does anyone have a VAGCOM that can clear the airbag light?
Post by: tigerj360 on 21 February 2013, 09:42

Hi Guys

Going to book my car into VW this weekend, to clear the airbag light I have on my dash.

However if someone on here is near to Bracknell (I'm willing to travel) with a VAGCOM that can clear the airbag light, I would much rather bung them a tenner or something  :smiley:

Let me know ASAP

Cheers

Jon
