Title: Diagnostics in Cheshire???
Post by: Melvi on 20 October 2012, 10:57

Hi! 1st post on here!

Wondering if anyone in Cheshire area has a diagnostic?
My climate control is flashing with errors, and need know the codes,
I have a mk4 GTI 1.8t 1999 model? Live in postcode CW11 and will drive to you :)

Hope someone can help

I'm in SK8, dont have full VAGCOM but itll tell you the codes, for how much itll cost in petrol buy a reader off ebay for £15 mate and then you have it  :wink:
but by all means if you want to come across during the week

Sorted! Might just get one of eBay then for that price,
Can you reset error codes with them? For example
My airbag light is on, came on after I removed my passenger chair, and believe you have to reset it?
Vag com would be good as want miles to empty adding, but am not picky :)

Cheers for the reply
