New to VW, but not new to working on my own cars. I recently picked up a lower mileage ‘12 GTI DSG knowing that it had some ‘issues’. It has multiple lights on the dashboard, but drives just fine. I ordered an OBDEleven Pro and the scan results can be seen here: imgur.com/a/B3VY2cxSo, where do I start? |

Talk to previous owner and find out if, as i suspect, that car was in a front end collision.
Air bag replacement often messes up steering sensors.
Lateral accelerometers set off airbags and are in the very in the very front.
Brake sensor problems may be in the abs system, or just missing/unpluged sensors
Last. Try unplugong battery ground for 1 minute. On reconection ignore all the faults, even the yellow steering one, and drive the car for atleast 20 minutes. Some of the dash warning fault lights can take quite a while to clear themselves.

Unfortunately, talking to the previous owner is not going to help much at all, hence why I got the car for such a steal
I do know that the car was in a light front end collision, body work has all been fixed very well and there was no engine component or frame damage.
I have tried disconnecting the battery, to no avail
Is this something that I can 'fix' via OBDeleven Pro???
