How to reset errors in the Volkswagen Golf?
Years 2012-2019

Answer

In the Volkswagen Golf 7, as well as in most vehicles, it is possible to reset the errors recorded by the control unit using a special scanner, easily available online. This device must be connected to the OBD socket located in the lower area of the dashboard, on the driver's side. Once this is done, it will be possible to remove any errors by following the instructions of the specific model. Of course, this operation should only be carried out after resolving any possible problems present in the car.
