Not as bad as I thought...anyone care to explain in English this to me lol..

The airbag light, which was my main concern, as its the only warning light on the dash, it say its deactivated, how do I reactivate this? Can I do it, if I bought my own lead, or it is a VW thing again...also, the side airbag igniter, how to sort the resistance being to high?

Also the immo??(what's this) says coolant temp sensor open or short to b+ what's this??

Thanks in advance..

Airbag needs to be switched back on via VAGCOM though you will most likely need a genuine lead to do this....

Side ignitor could be a dodgy loom under the seat itself; think they are about £20

Replace your coolant temperature sensor

Door locking modules; are they playing up? Do the locks sometimes pop back up when locking or unlocking the car??

Was Khare able to clear any of the codes?? Did any come straight back?

[hardmonkeys]

Hi mate, one engine fault came up, and he cleared it, and it never came back up...

This lot we cleared, and it came back again, so it's a definite.

Will do a search on coolant temp sensor replacement...is it easy todo?

[Rhyso]

What was the engine fault? 

Coolant sensor is a 5 minute job; just make sure the old O-ring comes out with the sensor as they tend to get stuck so you fit the new sensor with a new o-ring and your coolant pisses all over the floor......

Do it while the engine is cold by the way

Ohh, I really can't remember, voltage too low or something, I didn't get the fault code. I have ordered my own lead anyway,so I wil do a check when I get it, see if its back after the journey home, (60miles).

Quick question...my temp gauge goes up to 90/midway whilst stationary, soon as I start driving it drops steadily down to cold, heaters stay warm, Figured the thermostat needs changing, would this affect the coolant temp sensor(CTS)...if I replaced the stat, could this help the coolant sensor fault correct itself?

Or is it a case of replace CTS and the stat would in effect work again ...OR...

replace both anyway....

Thanks

Replace both mate

Ok mate, suppose they are inexpensive enough

Make sure you buy genuine parts though, I replaced my thermostat with one from Euro Car Parts and it lasted 2 weeks!
