Hi,
I have a 2002 1.8T A3, 38000 miles.
A local independent did a diagnostic recently and reported these error codes.
17545
17705
His conclusion from this and after taking it for an "extended test drive" (although i found a shopping list on my passengar seat for a mcdonalds order when i picked the car up - hence ive totally lost faith in them) Is that its an early warning that the cylinder head gasket is on the way out and that I should run the car until any running problems occur, then bring it back to him with £400 - £600 in my back pocket for him to sort out.
(by the way this is the 3rd time has has done thie diagnostic for me - same codes three times - took him till this go to diagnose head gasket. - thats 75 quid in diagnotics - and the check engine light came on again the next day and is still on)
Can anyone advise if the above diagnosis sounds right?
Oh and anyone want a big mac whilst im going? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
