heya folks, got a 2000 polo gti an apart from the clutch n gearbox goin ive got a couple of other issues.
these being the lights on the dash, the following are light up:
ECP
ABS
Airbag (i fink)
Could anyone tell me if these are common problems that are easy fixes? or will they all need lookin at by a mechanic, because i jus dont have the money to pay VW or someone else to do it if i can do it myself.
many thanks
some dash lights on - common problems?
Re: some dash lights on - common problems?
I've had the abs and ecp lights.
Reason for the ecp was because of the brake lightswitch under the pedal.
As for the abs. It comes and goes. So no idea with that one !

Common problem - May need replacing. Usually your brake lights won't be working so check that before you set outjustjamie wrote:cheers for the reply dude.
