Thanks Jonathan, yes i did read somewhere they idle erattically until they relearn the default settings or something like that, ill nip now to pull off the battery as the garage chap has gone home for tea

Also you’ll get a steering fault until you’ve rolled the wheels and turned the steering wheel as the steering wheel angle sensor needs to re adapt.

Yes seen that on a few VWs ive had in the past, i wish it was as reliable as my 197k T5

Update gents, left battery off vehicle overnight to dissapate power & reset ecu but only 1 fault code has disappeared, any pointers on what next ? Im trying to get the garage to change the crank sensor and start the car on tick over just to see if the signals all in the right place , sequence or wishywashy thiking of mine

You have to clear faults stored via vcds or another tool. Leaving unplugged over night is more to let anything that’s been ****** off with low voltage reset. Still need to clear codes.

I think the auto electrician is out at the car i will get him to clear the codes, if he dont i can do it or recheck it with my foxwell NT 644 pro ......... yes ?

had word back from garage, auto electrician has said the bcm & the ecu are duds, he recommends scrapping the car, is this a bit of an extreme recommendation ? bcm & ecu can be recoded from a similar vehicle ?

No idea what a bcm is but I’ve had a failed ecu on an A4 and I bought it for £30 on eBay and got it coded by an independent with proper VAG VPN kit for £25. Worked fine after that.

BCM is body contol module think its the board that controls the electrics, i think hes a bit extreme to say scrap car, cost me 2k least i can do is try to hammer down on a few faults, as said previously, these issues were not present when the car broke down and only arose after taking battery off to fully charge it. I will go to the car and see if i can get some part numbers for the ecu & bcm, seen a few cars by me breaking and also there is ebay
