golf mk4 fault code helps
the car is a 2002 mk4 golf 1.6 16valve with 80k on the clock.
while driving yesterday on the motorway the following warning lights came on
red alternator/battery light came followed by message alternator fault-workshop
then yellow flashing abs light-
then red brake symbol ! symbol
then airbag light-airbag fault
the car did not switch off,and aa man came and said alternator was faulty and told me to drive home slowly and he followed me in case car conked out but it didnt.
now when i start the car, airbag light stays on and computer message says airbag fault
no other warning lights but i noticed that battery/alternator red warning light does not come on when ignition is switched on which it should and go off off once car is started up.
vag.com came up with follwing fault codes
16947
00668
01330
01331
01332
01333
01334
Car starts up fine and drives ok and it had a new battery last yr.
what is causing these faults-faulty alternator or is it faulty wiring?
cannot see multiple fuses blowing together and
drive belt for alternator is intact.
pleae help.
Re: golf mk4 fault code helps
I think a lot of those are central locking faults, check them on Ross-Tech Wiki, any water? I think you should check central convenience module.
Re: golf mk4 fault code helps
thanks but you say water but where ,?and where is central convenience module located?
Re: golf mk4 fault code helps
Convenience module is usually under the carpets front passenger side
