What did you and your MK2 do today?

Afternoon all, how's tricks?

Left car parked up for a week while I was on holiday, and the battery drained. Got it started, but the airbag warning light is stuck on. Between that, the service indicator and occasionally low fuel, I'm getting 3 bongs when I start the bloody thing!

I know how to reset the service indicator, but is there a way to reset the airbag warning or does it need plugged into a fault code reader/clearer?

If it does, would one of the wee Bluetooth readers do it? Been thinking about getting one for a while now anyway.


Cheers for any responses lads, as always.

Dpf issues ££££

Last week i noticed the DPF light had come on. I was just about to go for a blast up the motorway and the car went into limp mode.. ****.. Off to the dealer to try and get them to sort it but apparently the diagnostic said that the DPF needed replacing and would cost 1800 plus VAT.. Thanks to some research and threads on here i decided to get the DPF removed.

Got it taken out and the car remapped plus a performance remap to 200bhp.(All for £475) Picked the car up today and its like driving a different car.. Like driving a new car that's a lot more fun..

Definitely worth every penny. I Live in Kent and if you want the contact for the garage i used PM me. :funk:

You need to clear the fault codes.

Do it ASAP as while airbag light is on, all your airbags are deactivated. So if you crash, they won't deploy....

Well the idea is thusly:
The car always has a thick layer of at least one wax on it. So it's always very easy to clean. So I reckon, if I snowfoam it with some good pH neutral foam, it should do a decent job rinsing off.

yeah mines always waxed regular and I used to use the jet wash to get the dust / grit of before I washed , so I thought I would give the snow foam a go and basically all I have done is add yet another process to washing the car , it was still very dirty looking when I had finished , car colour probably not helping me much there though .
I wouldn't expect it to leave the car clean anyway but I did expect a lot better than it did .
