Can't help specifically as I don't know the 1.8t at all but I'm sure I read a post by Darran in the last month talking about idle stabilisation on his 1.8t, might be worth a search for him and a PM?

Do you have a genuine ross-tech lead? Im not asking that because you couldnt be bothered cropping your image to hide your illegal copy of windows, im asking to make sure the readings you are getting are not coming from a dodgy lead.

Actually the copy is genuine , i just never bother putting the activation key in my purely diagnostic laptops , its not worth it, all that happens is windows constantly trys to update and messers with vcds when doing diagnostics even if you switch updates off you will still get vcds lagging .
As for the lead, yes its genuine, the copies dont do half the stuff i can scan.
Do you have anything constructive to say on the problem ??

Well firstly, ive never heard of VCDS lagging due to windows updating, or lagging at all actually. I suggest you get that looked at.
As I said in my original post the reason I mentioned it was to make sure that you were getting all the options, so IMO that was constructive, and trying to help, so I dont appreciate your comment about being constructive.
And my original point still stands, if you had taken 2 seconds of your time to crop your image to show only what you needed to show then we wouldnt be having this discussion now would we?

windows is a huge unstable operating system as are all the versions, most of the system is not needed you can careful streamline windows to be fast accurate and stable but you never update it, those out here that use diagnostics commercially have a separate laptop or toughbook purely for diagnosis purposes as i do and windows is only needed to boot the laptop.
The readings are accurate and i suspect my oil pump is the problem , if you search google you will find this is probably the only fault code that nobody really knows the answer too or an easy way of diagnosing it without stripping the sump off which is no easy task, my point here is find a way for everyone to simply get to the cause. This is the fault code

Now google the answer

Glad you got it sorted, could you please post your findings for anyone searching in the future?
