I hit a pothole with the front passenger tire a few minutes later i noticed my battery light came on, about 20 minutes later driving home after a short stop i realize my ABS and Tranction control lights simultaneously coming on then going out randomly stayed on now, and also my airbag light has just come on help car was mint before all this

    Scan it.
    With a Vag-Com.
    Except, be careful about scanning the Airbag module.

    Battery light signifies a fault with the alternator. Check the accessory belt?

    so looked at the belt this morning, its tight no loose tensioner or anything, still get all those lights either immediately when i start the car or about a minute into running, guessing i fu***d my alternator. Car sounded pretty weird when i turned it off too
