fault code reader/resetter for £15 ish ??

[Birty]

I keep hearing from friends that I can buy a Gizzmo for aprox £15 to read and reset all the codes.. I have an airbag error on the dash caused by turning one of the seats... Also an aircon code that VW didnt let me have...
If this rumour is true then any clues what I should purchase for My T5 2011, cali SE....
I am scared something will go horribly wrong for £15!!

I bought one but it read the codes but would not reset the airbag light

Carista.

Covers T5 from 2010. Works. Shows codes and clears them. Also allows certain changes, eg: Automatic Door Locking at 5 kph etc.

Available from Amazon and other sites.

Admins? For the T5 technical Section I think.

Could you be more specific.. lots of different types on Amazon.. a bit confusing!

There may be lots of OBD Dongles, but only one Carista.

You can use non branded dongles with the carista app to save even more

Also these are available:

Is there a list of VW Cali T5 fault codes on this site? I cant seem to find any.. I assume there is somewhere.. Aircon serviced and all working fine but reader still showing it has a fault somewhere in the system.. I also hear there are hundreds of codes for the DSG box alone!!

 

[MattBW]

What is the code number? Usually Carista translates it.

It only gives me the code for aircon/heater and google gives me confusing info. I assume this club would have a list?
