Re: Anyone have VAG COM? (BoraVR6)
Yes I have one. It will require you to make a trip to Colo. Springs though as I have no time to travel.

Thanks, I may take you up on that. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
Let me see if I can find anyone in Denver with a copy.

Anyhow back to the topic at hand. I've now got a few trips around town after resetting my codes. So far the CEL has not come back. So I think I just didn't get the airbox in correctly the first time. Its just too coincidental that 5 miles after putting the airbox in I get a CEL.
I'll drag out the computer and hook the car up again in a week to see if there are any new codes that may not have tripped a light, but for now it looks like just my rush to get things back together that caused this problem.

Re: Anyone have VAG COM? (A1speedracer)
on a small little run against my friends SVT Contour, my line from the FPR to the nitrous management unit came off. I guess the pressure from the nitrous in the intake manifold can come off very easy.
Anyhow, I reattached the line and took the ground off the batt. It seems to work.

Re: Anyone have VAG COM? (1BadAzzVR6)
Hmmm... looks like I spoke too soon. My check engine light came back on this morning on the way to work.

I'll pull the codes again tonight and post them. At least this way I'll know which ones are related to this problem, and which were triggered by other events (like the imobilizer code and probably the battery code too).
Can bad gas trigger a CEL? The reason I ask is that the CEL has only been on for this current tank full (and its come on twice now). Maybe I'm just in O2 sensor denial

Re: Anyone have VAG COM? (1BadAzzVR6)
Yeah I tightened the battery cable when I got the new bolt - I just didn't overtighten it this time.

So I'm not expecting to see the Battery Code again tonight.
I could have sworn all my connections to my airbox were good, but I'll recheck those again too. The only codes I expect to see are the two full trim/lean codes, but I'll post the specific repeat offenders tonight.

You know Dave this is some of the most informational troubleshooting I have ever read on the MKIV. I wish I had that for my A1's.

I'll keep you posted on what I find out. Let's just hope there aren't too many more of these issues... at least not for another 55k.

Re: Anyone have VAG COM? (CoolWhiteVR6)
Well, I took my Jetta into Osborne VW on Colfax today. They pulled the code (17536) and checked the O2 sensor and the MAF. They reported no problems with either, cleared the code, and sent me on my way - a little lighter in the wallet.
My cousin and I then drove up to boulder and we test drove a couple BMW's (a great way to spend an afternoon BTW).
On the trip home, my CEL came back on.

I called Osborne back. While I was on hold, the "Osborne On Hold Radio Network" was talking about how they have the skilled technicians to get the problem fixed right the first time.

After they picked up again, I made another appointment for Wednesday.
Anyhow, I'll keep you posted on what happens Wednesday.

Re: Anyone have VAG COM? (CoolWhiteVR6)
Just got off the phone with Travis at Osborne http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
Code 17978: After spending most of the morning with the second round of diagnostic, the MAF came out of spec to the point it was deemed necessary to replace. The cost of a new MAF and labor is ~$500.

I'm at 56,000 miles. I believe the emissions warrenty is 50k (not sure). Anyhow, Travis told me he had already talked with VWoA. VWoA agreed to cover my MAF replacement (parts and labor) as part of a "Good Will Warrenty."
VWoA http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

I'll be picking the car up after work today. And of course, I'll post to this thread again if the CEL comes back on in the next few days.
