Too long without a battery

Featured Replies

Hello,

Is there reprogramming or some type of diagnostic needed to be done if the car is without battery power. (for example battery fully dies)
My superb was without a battery for too long and it seem to have forgot stuff like one press window operation (got that back)

and pushed out a load of faults, which all went away after a short drive and moving the steering wheel all the way on bot directions.
and is there other tricks I need to perform to resume all settings that might have lost?

Sounds like you've already solved all the things that needed attention. 

The reprogramming / diagnostic as you put it was done by the vehicle on the initial short run………

Ok thanks, just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.

It's been about a week since that happened and now I'm getting EPC light and check engine light, nothing on the "car info page"

It could be needed to run some diagnostics to check fully. Older cars were easier to self-recover from long times without power, but anything after the 2000s seem a bit more ... temperamental.
