Hi guys,
have had some assiatance regarding this issue from a few members now, and l must say the help is awesome(tuffty,prawn,klappe)
So it all started when l first bought the car, which is a 2002 1.8T, AUM A3.
I had this erratic idle. I have so far done the MAF, Cleaned the Throttle Body, injector Cleaner x2, 1 coil pack, replaced a burst breather hose. The MPG has increased thanks to the new bosch MAF, the car feels quicker thanks to the replaced hose, but i still have this idle problem.
I have been advised to d a throttle body adaptation, ill get to that later. Also it has been suggested l have a problem with an o2 sensor as a fault code that had been prev read by a garage said: bank 1 sensor fault, system too lean. This was cleared when the new MAF was fitted.
here is a vid of what im talking about:

So again from a members guidance l bought a ebay cable and downloaded VCDS lite. The cable arrived today
I have hooked it up and all is well, its comunicating with the car. I have done a scan for fault codes and here is what it displayed:

So i have read threads about doing the throttle body adpt, l watched a youtube viid on how to do it but VCDS Lite will not let me access that feature so...
What l really eed help on, is im sure l read a thread that you could test for boost leaks using VCDS and also you could tell if o2 sensors were faulty going by the readings of certain data. I am a complete noob and if you are wlling to help would need it explained step by step lol
So in short lol if you think you can be bothered to help and can guide me to use this software to get to the bottom of this then pls do !!
I also went into the engine selection and selected display fault codes, there were none !!
If you need any more info pls just ask
Thanks in advance
