Golf IV R32 :: Airbag Malfunction While Stalling
Jan 30, 2013
lately i have been getting an airbag fault after accidentally stalling the car. I can clear it w. my VAD, but it comes back. I know, i know, the obvious cure here is to never stall the car, but the last time the fault came up, i was only turning the car onto the "accessories" position to check the outside temp.
17 AIRBAG VW61 0108 0003
DTCs: 1
P/N: 1C0 909 605 F
Coding: 12599, WSC: 31414

First, about a month ago the gas gauge started to malfunction. The low fuel light will come on and the gauge will show low even though it has nearly half a tank left. When will fill it the gauge only goes to 7/8 full.
Second, today is started stalling when I press down on the pedal. If I wait a few minutes it will restart. Has stalled twice but then will run fine.

The other day, I was sitting in the just the right place with the light shining in the passenger window just right to notice a glistening liquid in the bottom crack of the line that runs around the passenger side air bag panel. (Hope I explained it well enough)
I was concerned about a water leak of course, but I have no water traces anywhere else behind the dash or the kick panel. I spread the crack apart far enough to get the edge of a paper towel in the crack to wipe up whatever it was. Low and behold, it is some kind of really slick, silicone type oil.
If the safety air bag should be leaking oil? Is my family in danger? Do safety air bags "degrade" and start decomposing in time? Could that oil be coming from some other source?
Can I pull that front panel off without making the bag explode?

Last night, my 2008 Prius was hit from the rear. The bumper was damaged as well as a few starches on the hatch. However the latch for the hatch was move forward so the hatch no longer latches. Also during the collision, my daughter's heavy backpack was throw against the back of the passenger seat with enough force to hurt her back.
The airbag warning light remains on along with the dash indicator saying the airbag is off. Does mean all the airbags are disabled? Can this be reset? The car will be professionally repaired but I still need to drive it until I can get it repaired.

Every time I start the truck, the Passenger Side Airbag light is on, which is saying the airbag is turned "OFF." I have to push the button to turn the light off, which turns the airbag "ON." How do I reset this to where the airbag is "ON" until I turn it "OFF?"

so I have been getting a 'hiccup' if u want to call it that, with the tps sensor and/or throttle bodie. every so often I like to scan my car for kicks :p and noticed that (not all the time) my g188 or g187 tps leave a code but no CEL. I know I been getting an odd bog like feel when flooring from a stand still or low RPM and have done some reading on it, the tps could be related to that and since I do get a code but no failure I want to see if maybe it's going bad? also since the tb and tps are one unit and $$$ how often do they go bad?

My radiator went the other night, just after i took my car in for a 20k service. My car has 19k miles. Obviously things like this shouldn't happen. Regardless it's in the shop being fixed.

I have the VF-stg II s/c kit with a UM E35 tune, it seems to have a problem mapping or something when in Launch control mode. If I don't turn off the Launch control before I start driving it will cut rpm's around 3k then kick back in after it thinks for a second, also the engine light comes on/ flashes when the power cuts out. It does this especially hard when going from first to second. It does have no lift shift, but not lifting off the gas when shifting doesn't stop the engine cough.
Should also mention that the launch control doesn't seem to work all the time, only once in a while, will the engine max the revs at 3k on start like it's supposed to when LC engaged.
Currently I have a warning light for Performance malfunction in cooling system, which is also confusing because I have replaced both my CTS and Thermostat , however whether or not the MIL is on the LC doesn't work correctly (I clear the code when it comes back) seems intermittent as I can drive a week or so before it comes back on.

Got the red exclamation today going around a cloverleaf off-ramp (19k miles). Coasted home with normal oil and coolant Temps and just waiting for her to cool before topping up the expansion tank and poking around with a flashlight.

Couple days ago I drove to work, everything worked fine but fired up everything to drive home and fan wouldn't blow anything on any of the settings. Checked all the fuses and didn't find anything burnt out. Drove home last night and it kicked on as soon as I started the car. I've read up on the resistor that can go bad but it seems that would result in a blown fuse. Can't seem to find anything on the fan kicking on and off whenever it feels like it?

So tonight I took apart my glove box and center console in hopes of relocating the TPMS button...Once I put everything back together the MFD says airbag error and when i sit in the passenger seat the airbag icon in the center console is flashing and a 2 and a X. Also the airbag icon is on the dash.

2010 Golf 2.5 with non-MF steering wheel. I bought a MF steering wheel with module, wiring etc. I finally decided to do the swap today. I can't even take the airbag off!
I disconnect the battery, turn the wheel 90 degrees left, use a small mirror to see the tab behind and insert a flat screwdriver and pry it towards the center.
It does not pop out.. I pull the airbag little bit, it does not clear. When I remove the screwdriver, the hook sits back on the tab again..
I've tried on both sides for almost an hour and the goddamn airbag is still there...

So after years of making fun of my Audi friends for always having their air bag lights pop on, on the way to the grocery store my airbag light decided to come on and stay on

Not sure if this is inherent to the exhaust setup on the R32, but had I noticed quite a bit of carbon build up on the driver's side tip versus the passenger side tip which was nearly clean.
This morning, I had it idling to warm up and with the exhaust vapor visible, there seemed to be about 3 times as much coming from the driver's side. Is this normal or should I get it checked out? I know that it's not gonna be exactly even, but it's exhausting probably 75% from one side...

When I downshift while braking, especially in the lower gears, it feels like the brake pedal depresses further. And why does this happen?
Also, do people find you get cleaner downshifts if you have the gas pressed down a little, or do you downshift while braking, or just downshift without either?

I live in the Cleveland area and we got pelted with snow yesterday. For the most part, the car did great. Great traction and visibility while driving on low lit roads...It was only 28 degrees so it threw the warning for black ice which caught me off guard lol.
Then as I'm going to stop I hear beep beep beep beep beep!!!!
The parking sensors start saying there's something in front of me within inches....yet there's nothing within 50 feet. Every time I went under 10mph it kept doing this...well I got home and see that a small layer of snow was covering the sensors. Granted I can turn off the beeping and such but in a place like Cleveland there's usually a ton of snow and I can see this getting annoying really fast. This is my third car with parking sensors and the only one to react to a tiny layer of snow....

1) no cool air at all from AC
2) low pressure side shows 0 even after adding some refrigerant
3) ac compressor engages. I can hear a slight load on the motor when I push the ac button
4) when pressing the ac button the fans don't automatically come on. They should come on right

I purchased a 2002 2.0 jetta a couple of months ago and not long after I had it I noticed that the airbag light had come on. I brought it to a garage and had them check it out and they came back with a code that read 01218 side airbag igniter passenger side. When. I asked about getting this fixed they really couldn't say much about what exactly the problem was other then to say that it could be a problem with the whole system...which I don't get as the code only came back for the side airbag igniter. I also went and spoke to the dealer here in town and they wouldn't even speak to me about it unless I let them have the car be seen by one of their mechanics and putting the computer on it to read the code which I had already told them about.

1st: 00532 Supply Voltage Too Low - Intermittent
2nd: 00592 Seat Belt Switch on Passenger Side -E25
Resistance Too High - Intermittent
3rd: 00592 Seat Belt Switch on Passenger Side -E25
Resistance Too Low -Intermittent
the piece where the passenger side seat belt clicks into has a chunk broken off of it, now im assuming that this is causing most (maybe all?) of the problem here?

I haven't posted on Vortex since I owned my GTI VR6 I bought R32 number 258 last Summer and I have been loving it. Last Friday I installed all new dash vents as the tabs for aiming them had busted off every single one. I bought a full set of vents from a Chinese vendor off Ebay along with the dark red hazard button. The setup looks a million times better, but there is no indicator for the passenger airbag, and leaving the connector unplugged seems to throw and airbags fault. Any workaround? Will the airbags still fire in the event of an accident? Does the weight detector in the passenger seat still work?

This morning when I started up my car the coolant light flashed red, an audible warning chime sounded and the MFI read that I need to check the manual. Because the light was flashing, the manual says there is an engine coolant system malfunction and I need to take it to the dealer. The car was completely cold at the start, so I turned it off, then back on and there was no warning. I drove to work and the temperature gauge read right where it should be the whole way. This afternoon, when I started it up to go home the same thing happened. By the way, the car has only 4800 miles on it.
