Hello everyone.

First of all let me thank you for accepting me into the forum.

..

So me and my wife we purchase an A2 from a friend recently...

All good with the car until this afternoon, as she was driving to work the warning brake light came in the dash and followed by a sudden right wheel blocage for around 2 seconds and the and the same warning light became flashing red.

I will put the car to scan tomorrow to read some errors.

But I would like to know if this situation happened before with anyone else.


Thanks

If it is a 1.4 petrol I would start looking at the codes if you can using VAGCOM and then look up my and others previous posts on coil pack failure. If you can supply the error codes (if any) that will us all point you in the right direction. Cheers.
 
Thanks for the reply.

Its a 1.4 Petrol. The VAGCOM is worth it to buy one to have at home? Can you recommend any to buy?

Where can I find the "coil pack failure" posts?

Thanks
 
ebay for about £10, but is the basic version only. Reads fault codes, but does NOT allow adaptation. As served me well for about £6 from memory. also only works on 32bit windows operating systems, XP, VISTA, Win7 32bit all work a treat

cheers
