Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

It was only a low speed hit(me>5km/h, and him>10km/h), but it has bent the crash bar behind the bumper too. Like I said, mostly cosmetic, but because of the radiator, undrivable. Dosn't make me any less of an idiot though.had a passat tdi. now mb c class.

Originally posted by VW GTI View PostThat wouldn't work because if you were not touching the ground with tyres when you hit something they wheels wouldn't slow down. Or when you get hit from behind.
"Airbag control unit" (ACU) monitors a number of related sensors within the vehicle, including accelerometers, impact sensors, wheel speed sensors, gyroscopes, brake pressure sensors, and seat occupancy sensors.
