V easy mate, just make sure you use the software with the lead as they are cracked together, google the how to use it took me a while to figure out that mine was the old vdo clocks but it will let you in to one of them, and I programmed a spare key for mine while I was at it :)

theres a reset when the faults must be cleared if the circuit has being broke.......... battery disconnected, or an airbag/seatbelt unpluged.
and then theres reprogramed when themain module loses its life having blown an airbag or bags. chris hughes in total tuning is the only man for the second job

Those error codes relate to the diagnostic plug and control module.

Cool. I'm only really about on Friday and weekends as working a naff late/nightshift now
Weekends I can do.

Iain do you fancy having a look ? I'm happy to pay you sound like you know what you are doing.
I can have a go but i'm no expert:lol:
Won't cost you anything so don't worry about that.
As stated, I can do most weekends.

Just a update, I had a independent vw specialist look at it and confirmed the module was blown so in to vw it went, it took them 4 modules being ordered fitted and attempted to be matched before it worked. I got a massive discount due to them taking a week to sort it out so ended up very reasonable as well.

I'm so glad I took it to vw worth every penny.

Inchcape chelmsford I would recommend :()))))
