Hi all,
New to the forum scene all together let alone this website so please bare with me, this is lengthy;
I have a 2003 Audi A3 2.0tdi (BKD) sport, Facelifted and mapped (done before I bought it).
A couple of problems surfaced with the car about a month after buying it;
The alarm constantly goes off, even when the car is started and driving so it looks like Iâve nabbed it!!, I have resorted to pulling the "big" fuse from under the bonnet (and now I can't remember where it came from ), I know about the common wiper problem, and my boot lid catch sensor is rotten as a pear, but it is unplugged at the mo, I have stopped the leak around the wiper, I completely stripped the mechanism down and packed the whole lot with vacuum grease, definitely doesn't leak now... Diagnosis machine cannot find any alarm faults!!!
Driverâs window goes down, but if you stop it half way it always goes down when itâs trying to come back up, as if the sensor has felt something in the window, I have checked the motor, cables and clips on the window but all seems ok...
When driving, at random times, the "glow plug coil" light starts flashing, then the car seems to have no throttle response what so ever, if I cut the car out and start it up again the problem clears itself and the light stops flashing, but it is getting worse, sometimes the light starts flashing straight away on startup and throttle response is poor from then and it will not rev over 3250 rpm with the pedal flat to the floor (where it usually pulls like a "gooden" up to the red zone)...
I recently changed the front left hub as the bearing was shot, the job was a piece of cake to do, went very smoothly, but a couple of days ago on the way home on the motorway the ABS and ESP light came on when I touched 70mph. I took the car and had it diagnosed...
Now I wish I hadnât because I got the following fault code list back:
Any help fixing them would be very appreciated... I am pretty capable of doing jobs myself just don't know what to do
If you would like pictures of anything let me know and I'll get them on ASAP...
Also can anyone recommend a good VAGCOM software to be used in conjunction with my windows 7 laptop, I am sick of paying for fault codes to be read (as I need it done so often) so I would like my own software...
Thanks for the patience of reading this...
Danny
