FAILED MOT ON B/PADS+ AND GOT AN ADVISORY FOR AIRBAG LIGHT & NO EPC WORK THAT OUT

[tommytonguedj]

Evening All,
As some of you may know i've been doing a bit of stressing due to mot coming up and airbag light not going out and no epc on dash on startup. Just been for mot all as i failed on was front pads, Both headlight aim & no servo assistance in pedal. The advisories was a long list but Airbag light on was the main one i was concernd about, So now i'm praying my front discs & pads come in the morning so i can fit them then try and find a boost leak fo servo or place servo and take it straight back for a partial retest.

Airbag light is often just a loose connection under the drivers or passenger seat on the airbag connector

Also worth checking the connections to the 2 crash sensors by each headlight

so a big fuss over airbag light...... but you had no brakes?????!!!!!

If the EPC light doesn't come on when you turn the ignition then the MOT now assumes that you've removed to bulb to disguise a problem that causes increased emissions, that's why you got an advisory for no EPC light.

What engine you got?

It's 1.9 tdi engine, I was stressing due to the vosa website stating if no enigine management lights come on at start or if the airbag light stays lit it's a fail that's why i ordered new headlight/crash sensor wiring looms as my front crash sensors had been cut.
My brakes which i knew was shot was in the post lol but ironically they turned up the morning after the mot they are now fitted i have also flushed the fluid and the pedal creeping down has gone. So all as i need now is the headlight alignment and all is good

Well for a definite answer if anyone wants to know the aibag light and eml lght staying on is going to happen and vosa suspended the new rules from original date until smmer they stated, all that fuss fo nothing.

They're not suspended it's just that the implementation has been delayed, so at the moment they won't be a fail (as was planned) but you will get an advisory for them.

Spongey brakes on the 1.9tdi can be connection on the vacuum pump.
It's got a really bad connection into the pump it's self I took mine off, sealed it up and closed over the edges. Spongey brakes gone.
