•

IMPORTANT: Be aware of the following issue
regarding year 2000 and 2001 VW Golf, GTI,
Jetta/Bora, and Beetle air bag controllers:
There are reports of Air bag warning lights
staying on permanently after scanning with a
scan tool. The Air bag controller shows DTC
number 65535, indicating an internal error
which cannot be cleared. This problem seems
to be limited to air bag controllers with the part
number 6Q0-909-605-A. There are a number of
different “index” or “color-code” variations of
this controller and not all of them are affected.
If you have a 2000 or 2001 Golf, Jetta/Bora,
Beetle, or a similar SEAT or Skoda model,
physically inspect the air bag controller and
look at the part number. If it is not 6Q0-909-605-
A, then it should be safe to test. If it is Q0-909-
605-A, then it is at risk of this problem — avoid
testing the air bag controller.
