Check deadlocks!
« on: 25 November 2012, 21:00 »
I'm sure this must have been dealt with before but...... I'm new! Every time I turn off the car I get the same message "Check deadlocks! Check manual!"
The Stealer tells me there is nothing wrong and this message will come up forever more. So my question is, is this true? I find it hard to believe that it can't be cleared.

Happens with VW cars. Have it on both our GTi and Scirocco. Can't seem to turn it off with VAGCOM either. Quite a few seem to have tried in the past.

Seats do this too and my mate reckons his dealer said that we need to worry when it doesn't say say it as it means some ECU issues. I wasn't sure about this so checked with a guy who has a BTCC FR at work he confirmed it but couldn't tell me why?

Every post 2011 VW I have been in has displayed this. There was a spec change for the MY12, so it's probably part of that.

When does this message come up?
I'm sure I don't get the message in my GTI.

EDIT: Must be the age on the car
