Hello!
I'm new to this forum. I just got a A3 which has been off the road for a year or more, it is showing up a lot of fault codes, the airbag warning light is on as is the ABS light. I've listed the codes and what the diagnostic report said about them, the one I'm most interested in is the 65535 code, I have that in a few places but it says in the description aspect of the report 'system OK (If fault still evident, check control unit and associated wiring)' I've been looking online and have found that this particular code can mean pretty bad news! The airbag is also throwing up a 00532 code, saying voltage supply, value too low, intermittent, but it doesn't seem that that code can be cleared as when it is cleared it the light goes out for a second and then comes back on again wiht the fault showing up immediately. The ABS light goes out when the codes a are deleted but a few minutes later the fault returns, I think that might just be the right speed sensor though as having tested it there is no resistence in it at alll. Anyway I've attached details of the report I got! I would be grateful for any advice anyone might have in relation to this. Thanks in advance!!

I should add that it appears the heater radiator has been leaking and has been dripping onto or near the airbag module however this still wouldn't explain why I'm getting all the 65535 codes in other systems would it? Is it possibel to clear that code if I did replace the module? is the code stored in the airbag module or the ECU itself?
Anyway any ideas anyone has would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!!
