1999 A4 B5 2.8 30v V6 - airbag and ABS Light
Discussion
Hi All,
Just bought a 1999 2.8 v6 30v SE in black with cream leather and tiptronic box with steering wheel controls, 86k on the clock, full service history, cambelt, radiator, suspension etc all changed at 80k
Couple of issues, the airbag light was on when I bought it (knocked £300 off for this issue) and after a couple of days (and getting the brakes very hot) I have an intermittant ABS warning popping up and beeping at me, sometimes it goes away, sometimes it will exchange for the traction control warning light.
Ive had both front wheels off and checked the wires to the sensors, the outer cover is melted but the wires seem ok.
Im thinking of buying a VAG-Com wire off ebay to diagnose, but how much detail will this give e.g. will I just get "sensor fault" or some guidance like "front nearside sensor intermittent signal"
also are there any common issues like the sensors coming loose/needing a clean?
Other than that I love the car, and at £1600 think it was a steal!!!
