Hi all,
something strange is happening with my 2001 golf 1.6 SE, i think there are some serious electrics issues and i'm getting worried as things are progressing:
1) my abs light went on recently (i have changed the front brake pads a couple of months ago, they were replaced with original VW pads with sensors and didnt have any problems until a few weeks ago)
2) my brake lights have started misbehaving. when i switch my headlights on the central brake light partially lights up, with the lateral three leds lit on both sides and nothing in the middle. when i brake the whole strip of led's lights up brightly but the higher red brake lights (near the reverse lights) dont come on at all!
3)today my car says 'airbag fault' when i turn the ignition, it wont go away. Also the EPC light stayed on a couple of times but thats gone now.
Any clues as to whats going on with my car!!!
