SilverBeast Posted October 7, 2013 Report Posted October 7, 2013 Best to buy a VAG-COM lead from ebay (<£10) and download the free version of VCDS-LITE, read back the error codes from the engine management system. If you come back with any codes there will be someone who can help. It's worth getting the lead anyway as it will more than pay for itself if you intend to keep the car for some time. Quote
riordan76 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Posted October 7, 2013 Had it on 1 skready no fault codes showing but thanx Quote
xavier Posted October 7, 2013 Report Posted October 7, 2013 Was it a generic reader or proper VAG test software? The glow plug light flashing indicates a pretty serious engine management fault and the ECU will log the fault. Quote
riordan76 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Posted October 7, 2013 It was a bluepoint diagnostics machine a mate of mine is mechanic but looks lije going to have to put on big machine oh well £50 to find out lol Quote
xavier Posted October 7, 2013 Report Posted October 7, 2013 If you have a lap-top you can do it yourself for £10. Software is free. Just buy a cable. Quote
