Desperate to get my wheels rolling again I opted for an aftermarket OBD thingy from obd-diag.de available at a local store.
Managed to get VCDS-lite working after hours of fiddling with the setup.
I had purchased a "VAG" version with only K/L and KK/L protocols but it would only read the ABS and instrument cluster for some reason.
Had it replaced with an "11-protocol" version which also came with some better software. Unfortunately I can't get VCDS-lite to work with it at all, recognizes the port but refuses to see the interface. Hypertension is building...
Anyway, managed to pull some codes from moDiag as follows:
171 - Throttle Actuation Potentiometer Sign.2 Range/Performance
170 - No data located
443 - EGR Valve Position Sensor Signal too low
135 - O2 Sensor Heating Circ.,Bank1+2-Sensor2 Electrical Malfunction
141 - Load Calculation Cross Check Range/Performance
Looking at an OBD reference I am assuming the codes should read P1xxx.
Unfortunately I have no clue as to where the problem is. Car runs fine but the EPC comes on all of a sudden together with the ABS light and ESP (I think).
Any suggestions? Would like to get VAG-COM running so any tips would be welcome there too...
