Encountered a problem with the AWG this morning, 1st one i have had with it.
Drove home from work this morning and turned the ignition off to get out and open the garage door, jumped back in and usually it hasn't armed as im quite quick at this, went to start the car and it cut out (as the ghost usually does if armed again). Thought i wasnt that long but guess i must have been? (i wasn't). Put the code in again, got the flashes and went to start the car.....nothing. The usual warning was still up, turned off ignition again, turned back on and went to put the code in, it was at this point i noticed the warning was still up and nothing would shift it. Starting to worry now as maybe there is something really up with the car?
I remembered on the valve controller threads people were having issues and locking the car for a short period fixed these as a sort of soft reset, tired this. Still greeted with the warning and a firm brake pedal and no way of even starting the car. To google I went.......
Turns out its a known issue with the ghost and newer VAG cars as they had an FAQ for it. Thought i would link it in here in case anyone else has this issue. The 1st process is what fixed it for me, as soon as i put it in service mode the warnings disappeared and i could start the car.
