Topic: A case of beer for anyone that can help!

[Tallchevy]

My wife has an 05 VW Beetle and the air bag light is on. I have acc want to spend ess to scanners at work but we don't have European software. I'm looking for someone local to me in the Tracy CA area to hook up to it and tell me the code. I can do the repairs my self, just don't want to spend the scanner hook up fee's that the garages have. I need to get this light fixed so we can sell it.

Thanks,

Try autozone

At least in the past you could borrow the scanner for free.

Thanks but the good state of California doesn't allow the renting or free use of auto scanners!

When did that start, cuz I did it a few years ago in los angeles............

I know a guy that would probably do this for free but he's not in Tracy. He's hooked me up in the past w/ stuff like this when we had my wifes Jetta.

The numbers  (530) 673-6530

Addy is 1655 Poole Boulevard
Yuba City, CA 95993

Kinda far but if all else fails

I have a code reader that Kyle used on his Runner or Jetta one of the 2, that I can bring down next weekend and then we can get ahold of Matt and he can tell us what they mean at All Data pretty sure thats what Kyle did, let me know cause we will be working on Kyles crap on Saturday

Thanks Dave but I have a few of those obd2 code readers and they only read engine codes. I need one that reads European safety restrant system (S.R.S) codes.

swing by the dealer and give one of techs a case of beer to read your code lol i bet he will even tell you how to fix it

Reason number 3758 to NOT live in Commifornia.     Autozone won't do it for you?    The ones here will get the codes from the computer and sometimes they will reset them for you.

Check with the dealer if it is still a warranty issue, sometimes the airbag systems warranties go beyond the normal vehicle warranty.

Called the steelership and nothing for the air bag light. Talked to a friend that worked at a body shop and he said to disconnect the battery and all the sensors for 20 minutes then reconnect everything then connect the battery. Just haven't had time to try it.
