All plugs plugged in,

When my last polo was off the road i changed to a momo then swopped back but didnt have any issues that i remember maybe give it 50miles or disconnect the battery for 30mins?

Unless you have VCDS handy, always disconnect the battery before doing airbag jobs as the controller sees everything otherwise.

I have Vagcom,
and I did disconnect the battery for the airbag removal?

How can I use Vagcom to sort this out?

There's an interactive thing on the website to show you what to do.

Would yu know exactly what I need to do?

Honestly, you have an internet connection, which means you have google. Don't rely on asking questions on forums for answers mate.

There would be millions of times this has been asked before. If you don't have a real VCDS cable, do yourself a massive favour and get one or someone that does have one.

Gavin
All sorted :D
So happy haha
