Just my luck lately -
Fired my golf mk4 gti up this morning and noticed the traction control and abs lights are permently on!
Has anyone had this problem before? -
I'm trying to get a vag com test done at present - I've heard this can be an expensive fault :(
-
What engine code?
Same happened on mine and the MAF had failed :smiley:.
New one was around £100 on exchange from the dealer.
-
Hi mate - thanks for that
It's an AUM - lights have now gone off! Very strange
Hopefully get some vag com diagnostics run somewhere otherwise ill have to buy one of those handheld devices of fleabay!
-
JimBR - did you by any chance happen to plug yours in when you had the problem ?
If you did - do you remember the codes?
Cheera
-
Mine was also the same, and it was due to a faulty MAF :wink:
-
Cheers bro - ill get this looked into ASAP.
Wierd thing they have both gone off - I'm sure they'll be back. Lol ...
-
thats a bit odd, surley the maf would put the engine light on? would this do the sane on a tdi? ive been having the abs light on and off occasionally
-
Same thing happened on my mates AUM, it was the MAF sensor throwing both the lights up
-
My code reader gave the code for a faulty MAF, I cant remember the number. Mines an AUM too, mew maf and they went straight off.
Id wait until they come back on again before you do anything :smiley:.
-
Haha yeah that's exactly what I had in mind!
-
if theres afault with the abs then the traction control lite will come as well, but doesnt mean theres out wrong wid ur traction control, cos tc cant work wid out abs, but abs can work if theres a fault wid tc, if u know wot i mean.
-
Hi Mate,
The lights havent appeared since - it was VERY wet at the time so i dont know if that has anything to do with it.
All good now though! (touch wood)
-
It's apparently a common problems that's occurs with cold/wet wether.
Mine came up last winter then didn't come back on until last month where they came on but have gone again now
It doesn't affect anything on my car and the t/c and abs still work when they are on so I just wait for them to go again :grin:
-
misty windows and abs warnign light are the bane of my life :evil:
-
if thers something wrong wid ur maf sensor then ur tc lite comes on but goes off if u turn ur ignition off and back on again, tc lite will come back on when maf sensor plays up again etc etc. but cos ur abs lite is on as well i dont think the maf is the problem. the root of ur prob seems to be ur abs. maybe a dodgy abs sensor. have the codes read and see wot comes up.
-
I had it plugged in about a week later and nothing came up - im not gunna start spending money on things that don't need fixing :P......... yet
