Struggling to go
« on: 23 February 2012, 22:54 »
What is wrong? Basically my car is trying to pull off but its doing it slow. Its like it wants to go but something is holding it back. Hard to explain. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Get a code reader off ebay bud there under 10 quid or a vag com cable and download free software off rosstech.. You can scan your car then ..tells u anything wrong with it etc not everything always shows up tho but most time symptoms like you said a fault code will throw up :wink:
