New GTI Owner, P130 Error

The plug will have a part number on it

You'll then need suitable vw repair wires to suit

Thanks - do you think the plug and wires are sold separately?

I chased my wires back over the gearbox then cut it out and started again. There isn't a plug at the other end so it'll need soldering whatever.

They are indeed

Your local vw parts department can sort it for you

Understood, thanks but if I can get the plug and a length, Ill cut back and sort. It looks like someone else has had a hack at it and it doesnt look good.

To clear the code, Ive tried to leave the car's battery disconnected for hours - do I need to use a reader to clear it? This assumes ofc the fault is gone - a quick test drive yesterday gave me no jerks - so hopefully its sorted.
