I just got a laptop with vagcom already installed.. I ran the codes and came up with 00140, 03242, 00101.. My car is undrivable, every time it hits 2,000rpms it looses all response and drops back to 500rpms.. The idle is very low and after attepmting to clear the codes nothing has changed, what do I do?!!

 

my lemmiwinks also wont work..

 

Its saying "Timed out waiting for 0x55 character (bad ECU response)


Ugh this is so frustrating!!!!!!!

 

When I do a test it says

COM Port status: OK
Interface status: 0 - found, ready
Fast - synch Compatible: NO

When I try to actually run it and check for fault codes it says

No response from controller

Ive tried everything... Can someone please help me!!!!! I dont have a car untill I get it running right

 

what version of vag com is it? also what cable you using?

 

311 and its an ebay cable.. I think my problem is the cable. I was able to scan a total of about 4 things, like central locks and other bs. But everything else I try just says "no response from controller" so the only thing I can think is the cable is crap

 

Well its not the cable.. I took it to Autospeed's shop and had my friend run their vagcom and the same thing happen.. So now what? any ideas? I just graped an ECU off ebay for pretty cheap then I'll just have that customed tuned. But if I can figure out what is going on with this ECU I can sell it with the GAIC chip in it

 

which cable are you using? serial or usb?

 

serial

 

there's a guy on Audiworld who had the exact same problem. he disabled LIFO plus lowered the baud rate and got it to work. which COM port are you using? serial ports are usually COM 1 but to make sure go into the device manager and double check the serial connection is the same COM port you are using to connect to the VAG software

here's the link to the thread (if you can understand AW's retarded forum) http://forums.audiworld.com/vag/msgs/6289.phtml
