Thanks guys that make sense. I thought I maybe able to clear with removing a fuse but know I think of it, not applicable.

Would my friendly VW dealer do it, or am I looking abeing charged stupid amounts of money for a simple procedure?

I am in Eastern Subs Melbourne if anyone can help?


Still getting my head around the GTI, how much are the scanning tools? Used to have one for my old car but that carried multiple engine tunes as well.

VW will charge you a stupid amount of money in most cases. Derek at European Autotech at MonaVale or Seb at Girraween would be a good bet. Other than that maybe a member from Sydney with Vagcom will be willing to meet you somewhere and reset the code. It literally is a 5 second job the longest part of it is waiting for the laptop to boot and starting Vagcom.

Thanks Al, yeah used to have a portable PCM scanner in my XR6 turbo, carried 3 tunes so I could download against who was driving the car, from a valet tune (40km/h max) to my race tune 355rwkw. Took all of 2 minutes to upload the Cars PCM.

I am actually in Eastern Suburbs in Melbourne not Syd, so anyone from Nunawading all the way into Richmond that could help I am happy to travel just to get the thing cleared, as it's driving me crazy!! Or any local VW places that are happy to assit an enthusiast that you know would be apprecaited.

Thanks Again.

If your interested you can just get on to Guy at APR Ocenaia / Harding Performance and buy the Vagcom cable and software yourself. Well worth the investment if you plan on being in the Vw family for any length of time.

Have a look at http://www.ross-tech.com/ for more info and then contact Guy of you want to order one as I'm pretty sure he is the agent for Australia.

Al, looks llike I can download the software from that same site? Is this plauseable? All I want to do is clear the codes, so if it's pretty dodgy downloading the software, I would rather a forum member do it for me.

Not that I'm tight an would'nt want the tool, I just am trying to keep away from the modding bug at the moment. The same reason why I sold my last car was due to the money put into it. Happy with the looks of the GTI to cruise around in no more money on cars for now.....

Any member than can help just let me know. Tim I may take you up on your offer if I have'nt been able to clear by the time you get back.

Thanks

Mate you need the Vagcom cable that plugs into the OBD port, that's what you pay for.

Just post a message in the General forum asking if someone in Melb with Vagcom can help you out. I'm sure there will be someone around who can do it this weekend for you.

Cheers Al

your local dealer will probly charge about $75 to do 2 seconds of work. Thats what i got charged once..
