My First VAG Reading

[lowfoon]

I only have the shareware versions so their may be more but the codes that it produced was:

17633
17635
17636
17634
17525

I understand the first four is a 'Fuel Injector: Short to ground' to each cylinder and the last one is 'Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor Heating Circuit'.

I've research a little, and I'm sort of getting an idea its the fuel pump relay - Can anyone provide more informations??

[alexperkins]

Short to ground means a wiring fault - follow the loom and make sure its not damaged around the injectors

As for the other codes, ill check the workshop manual and get back to you!

Went to TPS today for a Fuel Pump Relay and it cost like £45!!!

...But yet I quoted for some G60 Steelies as I was there and they quoted £40 each Have them on order

talking about vag-com, is it possible to program the instruments codes so the car does a gauge test/needle sweep?

as this audi does : https://www.youtube*.com/watch?v=dmuxgGY-A28

I think it's not possible cos I found the code and it does not match

this was on an audi forum

Enabling Gauge Test/Needle Sweep
This will sweep the gauge needles through their full range automatically when you start the engine.

I found no "long Coding helper" on my vag com

Oh well, I'll have to wait till I get a motorbike that does it instead then like an R6..

Did you find anything in the workshop manual Alex?

I cleared the code and it has come back again along with the Lambda Sensor

[alexperkins]

Sorry mate forgot!

Ill check in the morning for you

Can you PM me the fault codes so ive got them

[lowfoon]

Something jst popped into my head, Could it be the HT leads?

[alexperkins]

no they are miles off the lambda sensors. Ill check the codes in about 20 mins mate.

[lowfoon]

I meant maybe the HT leads are triggering the injector VAG codes...

[alexperkins]

Umm unlikely - injectors are in a different section to the sparks or HT leads so I see it unlikely.

[lowfoon]

This is what the lambda sensor looks like, I dno if you can tell anything from just lookin at it...
