GTI MK5 fault codes
« on: August 05, 2016, 09:19:38 pm »
I have the following codes on my car,

Abs
Traction
Handbrake
Steering angle
Tire pressure

Cars been parked up for a year and I've jus got it back on the road, tried to have the codes cleared but they won't clear. What's my next option?

Yeah I drove it around for an hour or so and all lights are still on. The car ran perfect before it was parked up... I think the abs and traction control lights are related.. Possibly dirty abs sensors?

Could well be the sensors picking up particals of metal. @Black9 a scan would give you the exact wheel sensor that's playing up.
