My engine management light came on the other day and now the car has started to run a bit jerky bit like a mis fuel problem i have tried to connect it to my code reader but it fails to connect any ideas anyone.Tony.
Yes any code reader will work it’s just that VCDS is know to provide the proper fault codes info where as scan tools can be more generic and therefore not as helpful
The A2 due to its age does not need a fancy version of vcds for code reading and fault light clearance. A £5 cable from eBay and the free ware version of vcds is all that is needed unless you want to get into coding things then you need a better more ‘full fat’ version
It should
Check the fuse for the Kline in the fuse box under the steering wheel. If it’s blown then the obdII port would not be available
I can’t recall the fuse number from memory
Why you trying to connect too ? Engine I assume
Which engine do you have in your A2
The petrols are more picky about connection speeds than the tdi (edc15+ ecu)
Certainly worth doing so as there will come a time that you need the Info that only a scan can provide particularly as its pointing towards the car being the problem not the scanner
