Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

When the message "Component protection active" appears on the central display of a Volkswagen Golf, it means there is a general electronic issue preventing the infotainment system from functioning correctly: to remove this message, connect a diagnostic tool to the vehicle's OBD port, located under the steering column. This will allow you to select the car model in question and proceed to clear the error causing the message to activate; finally, disconnect the scanner and turn off the instrument panel.
