Thank you for the assistance. I have an erWin account, and printed off the wiring diagrams. Unplugging all the sensors on the circuit does not seem to make a difference. Since the last post, I have been through all the earth points, load checked all the wiring from the ECU pins to the sensors...

I have been looking into a frustrating intermittent fault on a 2006 Mk5 2.0 Tdi 4 Motion with the BKD engine. A full Autoscan is attached below; Initially, this was a very intermittent fault. The car would drive fine for days, then occasionally the throttle pedal would go dead. Backing off the...

Hi. I had a quick look at a Scirocco for a friend last night, which is running rough and the dash is lit up like a christmas tree. A quick plug in revealed no engine fault codes, but faults in almost every other unit, and the ABS unit has lost its coding. Please could you help me with the long...
