Today I decided to take my car - a 1.9tdi - for a spin.

For a reason I won't bother to share I wanted to take it to redline in 3rd.

It didn't make it. At about 3500 revs it went juddery and the asr light came on. The light only reset upon turning off the ignition and turning it back on again.

If anyone has any advice/thoughts it will be gratefully received.

Many thanks.

Really want vcds to scan Car, but clearly it thought something was wrong so went in to limp home mode to protect itself.

I've got vcds lite and a cable here - any good?

Yes. You need to list all the codes - even the ones that are not decoded.

Possibly the injector loom in the head, but yea could be lots of things

Ok thanks will get fault codes and relist here - appreciate each of you helping

Here are all my (cars) faults!

The main fault is 16705 - see http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16705/P0321/000801

Thanks for quick reply. So do you reckon I need a new engine speed sensor then?

Also could this be related to fitting cruise or the service (I.e. Has the garage bu**ered something when it was in there)

Surely that cruise fault must be them - as it didn't have cruise before!

It could be a bad sensor or the wiring at the sensor. This will fix the ABS faults as well as the engine speed sensor fault/engine performance.

My guess is that the airbag and cruise switch errors are related. Has the steering wheel been off?

Your aircon is probably low on gas although it could be a sensor fault.

Ah ok Cheers. The main dealer took off the steering wheel when they did the cruise I believe. I'm sensing a trip to the garage coming on..? (Main or indie I'm just not sure!)

just out of interest, what speed was indicated when redlining in 3rd?

Never reached redline. It got angry at 3500 revs!

Reset all codes

Then see what re-appears. Some of them could be years and years ago

If you have full vcds go into the block readings and see if the MAF is within spec, its wouldn't show a fault code if it was out of spec and it restricts the engine if it is faulty

If you have full vcds go into the block readings and see if the MAF is within spec, its wouldn't show a fault code if it was out of spec and it restricts the engine if it is faulty

How would I do that please?

Thanks though curiously the "reset all dtc" option is greyed out?

Because you have a lite version of vcds

Ah got ya.

Because you have a lite version of vcds

Nice to see your still knocking about mate :P

So this fault doesn't occur with traction control off. Does that help anyone zero in on what's up please?

How would I do that please?

Bumpy bump please folks.

Not sure Lite will do it.  Go into Engine 01, then measuring blocks 08, and cycle through the groups until you find one with MAF readings.  I've ran logs before (I have full latest VCDS though) of the MAF and still not sure what to make of the readings.

 

You have no MAF fault codes so it might be OK.  I'd be getting 16705 looked at first.

 

16705/P0321/000801 - Engine Speed Sensor (G28): Implausible Signal Possible Symptoms

• Engine shuts off
• Engine doesn't start
• Speedometer inoperative
• Glow Plug Indicator Lamp (K29) flashes

Possible Causes

• Engine Speed Sensor (G28) loose
• Engine Speed Sensor (G28) faulty

Possible Solutions

• Check Engine Speed Sensor (G28)

Special Notes

• The Engine Speed Sensor (G28) is also used as a reference sensor for the crankshaft position and correlates with the Camshaft Position Sensor Bank 1 (G40) and Camshaft Position Sensor Bank 2 (G163).
  • When an engine will not start due to mechanical (spark/fuel/compression/timing) related issues it is not uncommon to set a false G28 fault codes due to extended cranking with a no-start condition.
• When found in a VW Golf/Jetta (1J/9M) or Audi A3 (8L) with 1.9l TDI-PD (AXR), check TPI 2007067 which explains issues with electro magnetic interference. A modification to the wiring will fix this problem, extensive details can be found in the named TPI. Even though this TPI was originally released for VW Golf/Jetta (1J/9M), a customer of ours came across the same issue on an Audi A3 (8L).
• When found in a 2004 VW Golf, Jetta, or New Beetle with 1.9l TDI-PD (BEW), check for TSB 2010461 (01-07-45 formerly 97-05-03) or 201463 (01-07-44 formerly 97-05-04) calling for a flash update to the ECU and a secondary ground installation.

I think my mate has a full copy. Will ask him to help. But with this and my airbag issue would I be better to get this looked at by an actual garage do you think though?

This is so painful! Just want everything to work on my 13 year old car!
