What was the actual fault returned from vcds? Vcds (including lite) / obdeleven and vagcanpro can clear the airbag light with the exception of the 65535 code which essentially means that the software cannot communicate with the module.. if the error is like "resistance too high" is usually a...

There's a definite ommission of photos for this build / restore thread.. I do like a white audi

What AGU parts are being used? Surely you're still using the stock AMK ECU, and they've transferred over the VVT and cam shaft sensor.. and inlet manifold, exhaust manifold and K04 turbo? And just replaced the block and head? In which case the only physical differences are missing 1mm shims...

Probably need a bit more context? When did you check the oil cap? Like after 6 months sitting in the garage or 20 minutes after driving to the seaside? You can run the engine with the cap off.. if you have low oil pressure or low oil level pretty sure you'll get an alarm on the DIS..

You want an immo defeated ECU from a BAM, AMK or BFV... the BFV has a completely structure but can have a BAM map written on it (pretty sure) I think the BFV is like the BEA (225 wideband in US) regarding map structure and people unable to get an XDF for their BEA simply overwrote with a BAM...

They are usually like a fiver from ebay

Why do people still think criminals nick car radios and car wheels?

Just buy the code off ebay, then if the code doesn't work you claim your fiver back from PayPal... pretty sure they put the code into an algorithm.. Most cars with stock radios don't need a code....

AMK has VVT, does yours?

Is it stock mapping? Those tubular XS manifolds are renowned to crack. I think stock apy are only ~12psi which is 850mbar. If there were boost leaks your specified would exceed the actual

Good to see you're still posting forum updates Tuffty... so is the transmission holding the car back, or is it in the zone.

If it is more of a clunk, when slowly reversing off a drive or similar.. coming from the front, then sub frame bolts or bushes.. they are stretch bolts so need replacing if they've been removed to lower the subframe to remove the gearbox and transfer box together.. If you have a 3 inch...

both lights came on because you cannot have traction control without the abs sensors. It sounds like it only happened once, maybe some debris was there for a minute.. the ABS / wheel speed sensors / setup is pretty poor in these, the cage on the hub gets corroded and the sensors get seized in...

Torque / Torque Pro doesn't show abs, traction control, airbag and EPC codes... It will only return the EML codes, sometimes not quite right ones... (the legislted minimum every manufacture needs to allow generic access too) I needed vcdslite to find out whether it was long or lat on my s3...

Errorcodes will only be returned using VAG specific scanning software, like vcds /vcdslite or obdeleven. It's usually the longitudinal or latitudinal sensors and the lights come on together when you accelerate over 50mph..
