engine faults!!!

[jimbodubya]

  can you clear engine codes without vagcom? got told to leave my battery off overnight but haven't tried it yet. why do vw put all this computer rubbish into our cars? every single little thing you do, an engine fault comes up! i miss the good old days. i just want my 1.8t to have power and keep its power!

Don't think it will clear it.

[snap-on]

it will prob not clear it , use to on older cars when they first started having management lights but the golf you will need to clear . even when you disconnect the battery and scan for codes when its reconnected you will have a code for disconnecting it but no light ! stupid !
i know what you mean about simple old skool stuff , ive always had jap stuff (wrx,evo,skyline etc) and never had anywhere near the amount of probs you get with the vw/audi/skoda/seat . im going back to jap , simples

Buy a cheap code reader only £20

which code is it and are you sure you've solved the fault? some can be cleared by cutting the power some cant, i think there is a way to do it by grounding certain pins on the ecu but isn't something i've tried.
