Hey guys, Used mikesters fault code reader on my car the other day and had 3 fault codes :undecided:
Ive had a look on the other links to see what they are but it was inconclusive.
Codes I had were:
00523
17978
00285 - think thats ABS because my sensor is unplugged at the moment (new loom on friday)
Can anyone help me out?
Cheers

Cheers bud :)
As expected 00285 is the front right ABS sensor because its not plugged in atm as im having a new loom fitted on that side:

17978 is to do with the imobiliser which must have been because I had the ignition on but not imobolised :S if that makes sense!

00523 doesnt come up though :(
-
on my VAG-COM codse list I have
00523 IAT Sensor - Temp High - Circuit Low - G42 A
00523 IAT Sensor - Temp Low - Circuit High - G42 A
So start with the inlet air temp sensor :)
-
Cheers mate :) Is that the one on the airbox? :huh:
p.s could you have a read through this if you get a min and spread some guru magic light on it if possible please :grin: sorry to be cheeky :)

Thats what it came up with on the reader when i checked the codes against the book... But you reckoned it had been unplugged recently and driven so maybe that fault code was old... :/
Maybe if you slam it some more it will fix it.. lol

Yer I forgot what you said mate :embarassed:
Hopefully the garage will look at it on friday and see if it does need changing but sounds like it was because I had it unplugged for a day :rolleyes:

Either way, it has leather and 16v's so cant be alll bad..... Your car looks like the sex.

Once yours is all finished it will look better :wink:
