Golf Mk5 Airbag Light / Module

[scooby-golf]

Hi Guy's, I am a newbie on these forums but i am a member on many other forums.

I have a 2004 Mk5 Golf 2.0 GT TDi and it was involved in an accident deploying both drivers and passengers airbags and the nearside seatbelt pre-tensioner. These have all been replaced now and i attempted to have the airbag light reset using the Snap on MT2500 scanner. The Scanner will only read the OBD codes and it will not read the airbag data.

So, I had a spare module i got when i purchased a airbag kit but it is from a 3 door model and mine in a 5 door model. I replaced the module with the replacment module. When i reconnected the Battery and turned on the ignition my dash looked like a christmas tree. Loads of pretty coloured warning lights flashing away.

Do you have to replace the module once an airbag had been deployed or can the module be reset ?

I could not try to reset this module as i had returned the scanner.

Any Advice is most welcomed peeps......

Hi and thanks. I have just registered therefore i have not updated my profile as yet.

Anyways, I am from Birkenhead near Liverpool in Merseyside if anyone is local to me ?

I like the sound of the VAG-Com, Where can i get the free sharewhere from and the data cable from.

Links directly to the websites would be great as i have had a quick search on the net and not found anything as yet.

Cheers, Scooby
