Mr Footlong
Stalking Kate Beckinsale
Hi guys
I bought a late 03 BAM S3 last week and originally scanned it with VCDS before buying it. There were a few minor/innocent codes such as interior alarm sensor events, possible leak from central locking pump, but nothing major at all.
Picked the car up from the dealer (I know, not my ideal choice that I bought a trader car in the end) in Uxbridge and it had a whopping 40 miles on the range... No decent fuiel stations anywhere near and the dealer had no doubt been putting £10 of grot fuel in here and there. I pootled down the M3 and filled up with V-Power, with only 5 miles on the range if memory serves. Anyway, proceeded to hoon it for the last 10 miles back home.
The other half has driven the car a bit since but I stuck VCDS on again today and can see that not only has the dealer had the codes cleared, but these all new ones have appeared:
Address 01: Engine Labels: 06A-906-032-BAM.lbl

Part No: 02D 900 554 C

VCID: 2045C7E8A02F1E18015
1 Fault Found:
00532 - Supply Voltage B+
07-10 - Signal too Low - Intermittent
From looking around I have seen that the knock sensor one may well be an anomoly, brought on by running her almost dry on guff then sticking proper fuel in and blatting it but I really don't know about the haldex one and airbag but I assume that it could be to do with a tired battery/tired alternator/unusual electrical load on the car. No chav stereo etc fitted though.
The car is booked in with AmD for the works this next week along with engine/Heldex checks but I though it worth asking as the S3 is a new beast to me.
Any input/mockery gratefully received.
Thanks,
Nick.
