VCDS Scan results......(help) :) please.....

[robbo69]

Hi Folks,

I have just completed my first scan using the VCDS Software. It has returned, a few faults..

Looks like the EGR valve will need replacing.
I also have an issue with the parking sensors not working.

If anyone can be any help with the following code list it will be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Rob

Hi mileage for a 16 plate! @mmi is probably the best person for this.

Clear all the faults and see what comes back
I think some of them will be spurious, antennas are in the wing mirror so that may have been off at some point and some can be caused by a low battery somewhere along the line
I would only concern myself with faults that are persistent and return

Hi Pauly,

All faults were cleared at the garage today as the van had been in for various things. This is the log i ran when I got home.
Is it worth clearing again and seeing what returns?


Thank you

It seems the faults were not cleared??

Date of the scan: Wednesday,24,April,2024,18:55:52
Mileage when scanned: 282650km-175630miles

Date of the EGR fault
Fault Frequency: 4
Mileage: 282528 km
Date: 2024.04.20
Time: 13:24:52

There are even older dates in the scan.

Worth noting that the clearing under Auto-Scan does not necessarily clear faults in every controller and thus need to be at each controller separately. Please verify by doing Auto-Scan again.

Do I clear faults in each controller and then run autoscan again?

Many thanks.

Yes, please.

I'll get busy lunchtime.
Thank you for your help, much appreciated!

Yes, please.

Hi Fault codes cleared, the parking sensor problem has returned. Also the antenna problem. But nothing else.

Many thanks,
Rob

Yes, much cleaner now. However, for the emission codes will need a couple of driving cycles to surface so let's see how it goes with the EGR fault.

The parking sensor problem should be just simple wiring problem - the sensors do not get power.

Many thanks for your continued help.

I'll give it a few days and rescan for the ERG fault.

Do you think there is a break in the wire between the module and sensors?

Yes, that's my first guess - possibly close to sensors - behind the bumper. I think we have a thread(s) about the fault - possibly resolved.

Rear Parking Sensors Stopped Working

BOOM Absolute beauty. Took the driver seat out and discovered the converter hadn't reconnected a loom under the seat. (Fyi this wasn't the issue but it saves another discovered problem to come!) Then after having a look at the sensors, rather than remove and switch around just check any...

Faulty Rear Parking Sensors

Not happy. My 2017 T6 Van came back from the Converters with the rear camera and parking sensors not working. When I engage reverse I just get a 5 second (or so) tone and no parking display or camera image. VCDS pinpointed the nearside rear parking sensor as the problem area so I removed both...

Thanks so much for all your help, I'll get digging this weekend

Further to the wiring problem.....i found out why the rear bumper was sagging now, there is a rusty towbar beam with out any of the foam support to hold bumper up...will make this good before I attack any electrics....

Not uncommon to find moisture in the plug on the back of the parking sensor, easy to check just unplug and you will see any corrosion on the contacts

Hi Pauly, that is the error code I'm getting...Need to have a good look when I have some time.. Thanks for the info, @mmi seemed to think the same.
