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,

  • VAGCOM assistance required - Western Sydney

    Not sure if this is most appropriate place to ask but here goes....

    The airbag light on my MK5 Jetta has recently came on after I disconnected and reconnected my battery. From what I have read it can only be reset via VAGCOM.

    Are there any fellow dubbers in Penrith area who may be able assist?

    I am also looking to switch on DRL function at same time if possible (using factory fogs - dimmed)

    Happy to pay a small fee if required.

    Please PM me if you can assist. Cheers

    I'll be visiting the Camden area this saturday afternoon if you want to meet at a shopping center or something. I have VCDS and laptop. Shoot me a PM if you think that might suit you.

      Thanks for the offer Lucas, but after a bit more research I found an App called Carista, which should do exactly what I want without having to rely on VAGCOM. More info here if anyone else is intersted.... Supported Vehicles | Carista OBD2 - Vehicle Diagnostics and Customization.

      Will report back here with results once the bluetooth OBD2 adapter that I ordered from ebay arrives.

        Airbag fault cleared and light now off. Fog lights as DRL activated (parker lights also stay on - but fog and parkers go off when headlights turn on).

        Who would have thought u could do this wirelessly via bluetooth and smart phone!

        This is the OBD2 adapter I used
