Volkswagen airbag module reset

VW Golf airbag light on after a crash? We reset Volkswagen airbag modules by post from £35. Complex VW units £46.

Volkswagen airbag modules store crash data that a normal VCDS-style clear will not wipe once the unit is locked. Golf owners especially get quoted for a new VW airbag computer when a bench reset would restore the original ECU.

Airbag Reset UK resets VW airbag modules by post. Match the part number on the label (for example 1K0 959 655 families on many Golfs), order online, and send the module in. Same-day turnaround on most weekday-morning arrivals.

More Volkswagen models are being added to the catalogue. If your VW part number is not listed yet, WhatsApp the sticker and we will confirm whether we can clear it.

VW airbag light and crash data

Deployment, pretensioner fire, or a used module fitted without a reset all leave the SRS lamp on. That is a crash data clear job on the Volkswagen airbag ECU.

You post the module only. We reset it and return it ready to refit, without a dealer wait for a brand-new VW control unit.
