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,

  • Recommended Auto Electrician - Adelaide

    Looking for Auto Electrician recommendations in Adelaide to repair intermittent dash light and associated faults (airbag, ABS) in a Mk4 Golf. Example as follows:

    Address 17: Instruments Labels: 1J0-920-xx5-17.lbl
    Part No: 1J0 920 826 A
    Component: KOMBI+WEGFAHRS. RB8 V21
    Coding: 03702
    Shop #: WSC 30024
    VCID: 275C7ECEC5DCF277F8-515F
    WVWZZZ1JZ3W090962 VWZ6Z0B0116503


    4 Faults Found:
    01314 - Engine Control Module
    49-10 - No Communications - Intermittent
    01315 - Transmission Control Module
    49-00 - No Communications
    01316 - ABS Control Module
    49-00 - No Communications
    01321 - Control Module for Airbags (J234)
    49-00 - No Communications


    If I clear codes then sometimes the airbag or ABS light faults don't return for days, weeks or even months. Code scans even minutes apart produce different errors. The car runs fine, so the obvious issue is whether there are truly faults with these controllers, the instrument cluster is throwing random faults, or perhaps there is some dodgy wiring.

    I've gone to a couple of reputable VW independent repairers in Adelaide who either are not specialists in this area or want to spend lots of hours trying to diagnose the faults.

    The reverse lights also don't work and the usual suspects like globes, fuses, etc have been ruled out.

    I've rung a couple of Auto Electricians who have not given me any confidence that they have the expertise to isolate the problems.

    Any recommendations welcome.
