Hi all, wondering if anyone has come across the following issue, which I think could be an earth issue somewhere, but I've never come across this before in my previous Vw cars.
All of a sudden the car has become temperamental when trying to start it. I've noticed that the digital display which shows the clock and mileage, along with the red LED display does not light up and the dash will light up every dash symbol on it. In this mode/stage the car will turn over and start for a second or two before cutting out. If I leave the key in the ignition and leave it for anywhere between 1 min and 30 mins the digital displays and LED will light up and boom, the car starts and runs like normal. Sometimes when driving the display will go completely but do not effect the car, and clicks and comes back on like normal.
In addition, I noticed the air bag light is now permanently on, so this is why I think it might be connected to and earth issue somewhere.
Would be grateful if anyone has any ideas on the issue. Thank all
