ABS & Traction control lights on!
« on: 16 December 2012, 13:34 »
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.

JimBR - did you by any chance happen to plug yours in when you had the problem ?

If you did - do you remember the codes?

Mine was also the same, and it was due to a faulty MAF :wink:

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:.
