Failure of the rollover sensor system and problems with the convertible roof in the VW Eos 2010

Hey, I know exactly what you're going through. Had a similar problem with my 2013 VW Scirocco. My roof issues weren't exactly the same as my model isn't a convertible, but the airbag light was up. At the time, the airbag control unit needed to be repaired, which is pretty closely tied to the rollover sensor system. That sounds like a serious problem, because when sensors like that fail, it can really lead to safety issues. I would recommend that you describe this to the mechanic in as much detail as possible and above all be clear and specific. That way you can make sure that you are taken seriously and not taken advantage of. And have everything double-checked. With such important parts, it's better to be on the safe side. Good luck with that!

Hey, thanks for the tip! Do you happen to remember how much this repair cost you in the end? And were there any other problems related to the rollover sensors or airbag control later on? Would like to know what I need to be prepared for.

Hey, no problem! I can still remember exactly. The malfunction of the rollover sensor was fixed after the visit to the mechanic. The repair didn't really cost me much. It was different with the fuse, it was defective and had to be replaced, for which I was charged a whopping €55. After that, however, there were no more problems at all, neither with the rollover sensor system nor with the airbag control unit. So it was worth it in the end. I hope your VW Eos doesn't make any more problems!

Great, that reassures me a little! So I'll be firm and detailed with the mechanic and hope it's no more than your repair. It's good to know that no further problems occurred afterwards. Thank you for your help and advice. Now I feel a bit more confident about going to the garage. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
