Airbag light removal error 65535

[griswold]

Right cant remove error with vcds
after some searching found that I need a new/repaired airbag ecu
found company on ebay who will do it for £25 inc return of my ecu.

Also found this Volkswagen Audi VAG Air Bag airbag Reset Tool on eBay (end time 10-Dec-10 13:27:29 GMT)

states it can erase dtc65535
lists my ecu part number
8D0 959 655 J (Bosch 0 285 001 276)

Anyone know if these work or should i just send myairbag ecu away?

65535 is a physical fault with the ECU itself. It cant be fixed with a reset tool afaik.

Well gone for reset tool to try first to save me removing ecu some have had some success removing this code
will probably have to change it though but tool will come in handy
found this guide AudiWorld Tech Articles

Well got my reset tool and it cleared the code for now so lets hope it stays off
hopefully it was due to the cold
