MadBaz Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 NO NO NO, just disconnect the battery for a short while (10 mins should do it) Quote
daz131 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 thanks mad baz have tried this but didnt work this is a problem since changing the coil pack it was running all lumpy this is now sorted but the revs are quite high and being auto its playing havoc with the gear changing. only other thing i can think of is the MAF there isnt a local fella with vagcom willing to do me a favour.
