#1: gti 180 crazy electrics Author: bobster, Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2012 5:23 am ---- Hi,
i have recently bought a 2003 206 gti 180, whilst driving it today all the dials went to zero, the radio went off, 'stop' flashed up on the dash and 'pasenger airbag deactivated' flashed up on display, dash lights out and a few warning lights. car was still driving fine. i pulled over and stopped the car, gave it a couple of mins then started it again, was ok for a couple of miles then it did it again, any ideas? could it be anything to do with the heavy rain we've been having or something more serious
thanks
bob

My com 2000 is playing up but all it has done is deactivate my airbags and my horn , but the horn is back now and the airbag light is still on.
