So I ordered my Vag-Com cable today which I'm really excited about and I get home for lunch and low and behold the Chilton manual has absolutely nothing about fault codes or even a mention of how to clean the airbag sensors (which is what i have to do right now). Anyway, I think I once saw a post listing a bunch of codes but I can't seem to find it. Could someone 1) direct me in the right direction for the codes and 2) let me know if you have a good method in which to clean the under the seat airbag sensors? TIA.

 

Chiltons is more directed towards the mechanical side of it.

 

As Auidboy said Chilton is good on the mechanics of it. If you really want a good manual buy a Bently.

 

If you want to learn fast, dont use the manuals, just and do it urself. I dont even have a manual, all the stuff i installed, i never used one. Like turbo install, suspenion, none of that, i just did it myself.

 

Haha, if you want to learn fast... priceless. You're an animal audiboy.

Seriously though, buy a bentley manual... they are very good. Turbo upgrade is straightforward... airbags are scary. Clearing the light is nothing to be afraid of, but yeah, I'd want to know I was doing it right before starting.

In fact, I am in the same boat as you... just have been too lazy to even try.

 

Actually, I've seen the mechanic clean the sensor quite a few times but I'm not sure what he cleans it with. I think he uses a qtip and rubbing alcohol but I'm not sure. Anyone got an idea? I'm not opposed to learning how to do it on my own but it never hurts to have a manual so that I don't have to try to get to my office so I can post on here .

 

Get some TV tuner cleaner from Radio shack.
