does a fault really mean a fault

Post by rapid_f1 »

hi all at the last count i had the handbrake light (flashing and beeping), abs, seatbelt lights and the epc on the dash whilst driving.

does it mean these are all faulty or do they simply need to be reset using vagcom?

e.g. brakes are very good, stop very good in the rain yyet the abs light is on?

If you get that many errors up, i strongly suggest plugging it into vagcom to check it out even if there isnt a fault
