As part of the preliminary going over, before booking it in for someone who actually knows what they’re doing to sort the problems, I bought a MaxiScan VAG405 OBD reader. After being pointed in the right direction by Steve I successfully connected it to the car and all seemed good
It happily connected, and would let me look at various info. But when I tried to ‘read codes’ in any of the menus it appeared to just hang. Though of course it’s possible I just didn’t wait long enough. I left it a few minutes though, and the bar would progress around 10% of the way along before just stopping. How long should it take? Strangely though if I jumped straight to the erase codes (or reset, I can’t remember the terminology) it appeared to work just fine. Is there likely to be something wrong with my reader, or am I just too impatient!
Thanks
