Hello all, just switched over from the TT forum and now own a GT TDI 05 plate with a whopping 130K on the clock......

Thought i'd say hello and pop a couple of questions in at the same time.

Had the car for 3 weeks and i have to say i've been very impressed up until this morning when upon starting her up the 'Emissions Workshop' popped up on my screen with the EML and refused to go away....no issue with limp mode so hopefully nothing too expensive....I have used vag com before but i undertsand this is Can Bus therefore my old OBDII wouldn't work.

So the quandry is, what cable should i get? (i only want to obtain fault codes) and what is the most common reason for the emissions workshop warning on MK5's?  I'v read a few posts about sticky vanes, EGR etc .....the only thing i would add is that when warm this and idling its a little bumpy but nothing 'normal' people notice (a statement from my wife when i said, "can you feel that") :grin:

regards

John
