Right, just vagcom'ed the chariot in light of the current problem and this is what it kicked up:


VCDS-Lite Version: Release 1.0

Chassis Type: 1H - VW Golf/Vento III
Scan: 01,02,03,08,12,15,25,41,56

Address 01: Engine       Labels: Redir Fail!
   Controller: 037 906 024 AE
   Component: DIGIFANT 3.2        1820   
No fault code found.
Readiness: N/A

Address 15: Airbags       Labels: 6N0-909-60x-VW2.LBL
   Controller: 6N0 909 603 F
   Component: AIRBAG VW2          V00
   Coding: 00070
   Shop #: WSC 01268
1 Fault Found:
00588 - Airbag Igniter; Driver Side (N95)
            32-00 - Resistance too High


For some reason, it won't finish the scan unless I purchase the full software so it's not giving me an ABS or handbrake scan but from what it is scanning the fault in the airbag can be resolved according to Ross-tech Wiki by either:

Check Wiring from/to Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N95)
Check Airbag Igniter Driver Side (N95)

So now...where is the airbag igniter and is there any pointers when inspecting it?

I feel this whole thing just won't be simple or quick to fix. Stoopid

I cant make sense of that mate lol its gobbledygook 2me. All i got wen i scannd was rear left and rear right abs speed sensors, which sounds simple compared to that :-), wish i could be of mre help. Have u gota haynes manual lol

[Skred]

Nah I don't but I got this forum baby yeah!

Just out of curiosity, what software are you using with your vagcom to scan your ABS? Mine is VCDS-Lite but it won't scan it.

[gover87]

Itsa diagnostic fault finder my dad bought off ebay m8 so not sure, al ask wen i see him at wkend pal

[Marktwo8v]

Its a 95 and yeah it duz wot u say, 2rear sensors 54quid includin vat from gsf, 20quid each of ebay then u got p+p so nt much difference. Worth a try anyway :-)

if the rear brakes lock up easily then get it scanned with vagcom for the faults. My car had the incorrect ecu fitted, once I found the right one (lots of hassle and expense) everything was fine. You could have the wrong or faulty ecu.

What are your ecu and pump part numbers, I've still got a record of all the options somewhere.

Sorry to hijack the thread,but I am having my own ABS problem,and you may be able to help.

The part numbers I have are 1H2 614 217E on the pump,and 3AO 907 379E on the ecu.I googled the ecu number and apparently it has been superseded by 3AO 907 375A.

My problem is people listing them as a complete unit on ebay and the likes list them by the pump number,if you could tell me what one matches my requirements,I would be very grateful.Or even what models they were fitted to.
