new faults baffle me!

[Audiohitch]

Just got my car back after having it been at garage for 4 days sorting the cruise control out which lead to no power steering. however got it back so decided to plug my Brother-in-laws vagcom in and got these strange results:

Address 17: Instruments
Controller:
No Faults Found
or DTCs not supported by controller
or a communication error occurred


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Address 25: Immobilizer
Controller:
No Faults Found
or DTCs not supported by controller
or a communication error occurred

these did read fine on the 27th such as:

ddress 17: Instruments
Controller: 8P0 920 950 S
Component: KOMBIINSTR. VDO H80 0420
Coding: 0004413
Shop #: WSC 01234
No fault code found.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Address 25: Immobilizer
Controller: 8P0 920 950 S
Component: KOMBIINSTR. VDO H80 0420
Coding: 0000000
Shop #: WSC 00000
No fault code found.


Any clues

Yeah, no faults found lol.

 

[Audiohitch]

But the fact it can no longer communicate I think is a problem specially the immobiliser

 

[NHN]

Is it a genuine cable?

 

[Audiohitch]

No. But has been reading before. Just kinda a co-incidence since coming back after 4 days at a garage who had to reset coding a and basic settings of traction sensors, steering sensors and column module and deactivate cruse control

use a proper lead and see what you get

Im taking it to my local garage next week for some bits and pieces to be sorted. It also happens to be a Audi Specialist Revo garage so will ask if they get anything up?
Im planning on getting VCDs after xmas once the kids presents are out of the way first. NHN are you still a VCDs dealer?

 

[NHN]

Yeap I sure am, but ytf did they disable cruise control, if they cant get that working then use another garage trust me as its a straight forward job for a technician to do overall.

 

[Audiohitch]

Cruise is not working after having the car for 4 days. I've been stuck at my inlaws as I live 65 miles away from the dealer Garage we got the car from. Inlaws are only 12 miles away.

I have pm'd you, i am in hull tomorrow and can probably sort your issues, or at least diagnose them with the genuine tool.

 

[NHN]

Sounds like they really don't know what they're doing.

 

[Audiohitch]

Sounds like they really don't know what they're doing.

I don't think they did. they was only suppose to be changing the cruise control stalk. Looking at the stalk now. it certainly is not a new stalk.
Im just glad to have my car back.

 

[NHN]

Well if you want the cruise all working 100%, give us a shout, as a sponsor of the site, we fit these systems.

 

[hades-]

did they charge you ?

 

[Audiohitch]

no they didn't charge me.
Will let you know if everything else is all hunky dory.

 

[Audiohitch]

Okay, update to this. Been to autotechnica at weekend to have a couple of bits sorted and I asked if they could put their VCDS in and had the same result as me.
Unable to communicate to 'Instruments' & 'Immobiliser'.

 

[NHN]

Well for me if I was looking at your car, I would be testing wiring & maybe plugging a temp cluster in to see if it communicates again.
