Hi all,

I'm having a problem with our arosa at the moment.

The stereo stopped working as did the auto unlock, ran a VAG scan to find code 00849 - s contact.

I found that the S contact fuse had blown.
The problem I'm having now is every time I replace with a 5a (as per manual) it blows again?
Any ideas guys?

Ok

So it turns out that the stereo was blowing the fuse and only at the point that the face plate was attached.
A bit of head scratching and there was a 20p inside the unit that was shorting it out :blink:

Unbelievable Jeff, but all working now all the same
