I took my car to the mechanic last week to get inspected and it wouldn't scan for emissions. It just wouldn't scan.. I guess the computer wouldn't even register that the car was plugged in to it.
View 10 Replies2001.5 1.8t, I have this p0343 code when I used the scan tool at murrays or oreileys whatever the h they are now (it means something like cam angle sensor high input). The t-belt was due for service a while ago , am I looking at a sensor problem or a wiring problem or a timing/engine problem? How should I check and where? I hear the timing belt can be a pain on the 1.8s, I have done a mk4 trans and a bit of other stuff but I do have a lot going on right at the moment and I'm not sure if I have time. I have a feeling if I take it in for service they will probably find blow through from the turbo and pull the engine because of "sludge".
View 2 RepliesShop said o2 sensor and they just want to replace one. I can get universals for around 80 each, will they work if this is in fact the problem?
View 1 RepliesI recently failed emission test for my 1999 V6 Passat. I replaced the cats., thermostat, O2 sensors (before cats), and the list goes on. Is there a reflash in the ECM that needs to be reset that only VW can do with their scanner?
View 4 RepliesHow to clear the check engine light on 2000 Passat 4motion Wagon?
View 4 RepliesWe are selling the girlfriends 01 Passat. I pulled the codes tonight for a long standing check engine light knowing it had one of the 02 sensors bad. Here are the three codes I received from the scanner:
P0130 - 02 Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank I Sensor 1)
P0455 - Evaporative emission control leak detected (large)
P0441 Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow
So is it one thing causing all three or are there common things to look at. We can't really afford to go replacing all the emission system sensors and hoses etc. in hopes of finding the right piece. Gas cap is screwed on tight and codes were cleared a couple times to make sure.
I recently had some work done on my 2001 VW Passat 1.8T (timing, water pump, major tune up). IT had 72K miles.....
Now I'm getting the following:
Code P0171 Too Lean (Bank 1).
Emission Light turns on / off.
Check engine light comes on and stays on after about 20 miles. Can this be the oxygen sensor?
New owner of a 2003 1.8TPassat (29,000mi) as of the last 2 weeks and have just had my MIL come on. Scanned it at home with my Actron CP9125 scanner and got this code (P0455) which reads in the scanners manual as "EVAP Emission Control System Leak (Large)". Didn't know if this was a generic description of the code or VW has a more specific definition. What precisely this is in reference to, gas cap, vacuum hose????? Or what VW's actual description of this code is?

View 14 RepliesI am getting the dreaded emission workshop.
The codes i am getting are p0301-p0304 and p0171
Which are misfire on 4 cylinders and system to lean (bank 1).
Here is what I have done:
Got the 4 ignition coils replace, replaced the mass air flow, replaced the air filter, replace the plugs.
I just check the L wire and it doesn't have any cracks or holes
I don't know what to do next.
My 2.5L is throwing a check engine light with only 5000ish miles?!
P2407 - Powertrain - Auxiliary Emission Controls - "Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Pump Sense Circuit Intermittent/Erratic"
I did a quick google search and apparently it MAY be due to a loose gas filler cap. I tightened it and drove around the block. Still on...
And (from the google search), this code isn't common with VWs.. (in fact, couldn't find a single VW with this code?).
Can I read oil pressure on my scan gauge II ? If so, how do I do it?

View 5 Repliesquestion to the smart people out here in prius land. Plug in my scan tool and it shows the mileage as 4219 mile but yet the dash in the car show 4334 miles why would they both not be the same.
View 12 RepliesScan gauge II keep going blank !
View 4 RepliesThe vehicle is a 2002 Ford Windstar van with a 3.8L V-6 engine. It has a constant miss on the #1 cylinder. That's the one on the backside of the V-6 on the passenger end of the engine. I have changed the plug(s) and still had the miss and P0301 code. The plug's wire has about 7500 Ohms, so it's not the problem. I hear no snapping of a high voltage short to ground. A friend suggested that the injector might be the issue, but I am of the opinion that the scan code shows only a high tension or secondary ignition system issue, and not fuel injection issues. I'm thinking the problem is more likely to be the coil pack.
View 19 RepliesMy Lincoln LS 2004 V6 3.0 has check engine light flash. It says the Engine Cylinder 1 and 2 misfired with computer scan. I know the cylinder 1 is in the front of passenger side, but I do not know where the cylinder 2 is. If it is in the rear of cylinder 1 on passenger side, and I want to change the cylinder 2 ignition coin pad, do I need to remove the engine part on top it?
View 14 RepliesNothing is happening when I plug in my scan tool that I've used a million times before. I'm assuming it's a fuse but nothing listed on the fuse panel. Checked a few vague ones with no luck.
View 5 RepliesI could have sworn that I read somewhere on here how you can use the Scan Gauge II to change the reverse beep, but like they always say I cant find it now.
View 12 RepliesMy ScanGauge just went blank, which was nuisance because I like to monitor it in the mountain climbs. It felt like a 'naked' dash without it. My separate pyrometer was the only additional info I had. The ScanGauge only has a few thousand miles on it. Wondering how reliable these things are before considering getting another, or inquiring about a fix I know I will first have to double check that the OBII port is still OK, but I expect it is.
View 11 RepliesI have googled for this and searched the typical sites but cannot find the PID to monitor the MAF with my scan gauge II. Am I blind or does it even exist?
