ok will upload a auto scan now couple of other things ive found out no front fog lights working and I was getting a low washer bottle error but it has no washer bottle level sensor do you think a coding issue would cause this and if so how can I get the original coding information ?

thanks everyone I will upload a auto scan in next couple of days

the problem I have with the clocks is the bulb failure lamp glows dimly and the seat belt light also I pretty sure its a coding issue as ive been through most the wiring I did have the battery light glowing dimly as well but I removed the low washer bottle in instruments as that was staying on permantly and it didn't have a sensor fitted to the washer bottle so once that had been removed from the instruments coding it has gone out .
I suspect coding has been played around with previously as I bought van from a trader .

I'm hoping theres a way to code out the warning lights or to recode the instruments correctly .

it would be good to update to the most recent VCDS version 18.2
furthermore I'd suggest to start measuring voltages, check fuses related to the alternator. Engine running should produce about 14.5 volts.

I wasn't aware that the version i was using is a pirated copy it came with the laptop when I bought it and it does explain why it won't update .
I will purchase a legitimate copy when I have some spare cash thanks for all the help anyway .

In case you're unaware; in your case it's not (only) the software that is pirated - it's actually the interface cable you're using. Software updates have always been free for the 18 years I've been using VCDS - but of course the updates will only work with a genuine Ross-Tech interface.
