vag com fault code 00561 help
« on: 21 March 2012, 15:31 »
about 3 weeks ago i bought a code reader i did a scan and had two fault code show one was 16500 , engine coolant temp problem & the other code was 00561 as i only bought the car i cleared the codes to see if they were old.

then last week i scaned the car again and no codes came up!!!

i was cleaning the car out today and my vag com was in the glove box so i did a scan again this time code 00561 is back in the vag com book it tells me the code is (mixture adjustment control)

anyone know what this means and what could cause this!!! & what could i buy to fix this or will a remap sort it


im taking my car for a remap next week and i dont want to drive 2 hours to find out they wont do it because of this
many thanks
