Hi all, been a mechanic few a long time now but mostly worked on old agricultural stuff, so I'm fairly new to the ECU stuff but I'm learning quick, I don't have any issues with my MK5 FSI at the moment and I do have access to a Ross Tech scan tool. What I have fixed so far is the front door wiring on both sides - doors intermittently would not lock. Will be putting on a towbar this weekend. For those that don't know the electronics that come with the towbar is just a 5 circuit relay, the box takes power from the fuse box and sends power from there to the trailer instead of using the cars light circuits. Will be good to get out in the garage again.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,
