crap need some help from someone with an obd2 scanner or vag-com

the passat wont stay running all of a sudden (was fine yesterday) and i am getting a CEL.

symptoms hard start, once its started i have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it running, and runs like ass.

advanced auto will check it free

yea, that would be great if the car started and drove

i might be able to help you out later today. my vag cable is in my car still, which is in storage so i would have to go get it first. are you in dire need of it or do you have something else you can drive? cuz i def wont be able to make it till later today

its my only car right now, we just dropped the focus off at the dealer friday :frowning:

if you can make it out this way later that would be sweet

check the air ducting between the throttle body and mass ait flow sensor. vw’s useally have some ghey air box or large hose between them that comes loose or breaks

vag-com locator FTW

rendyx and darkkstar have them i believe my friend derek with a r32 has one too idk if hes on here

checked under the hood, nothing is broken loose, or missing.

tried to fire it up now that its warmer out, same thing.

it will fire with your foot on the gas, and if you keep it there it will run a little, but rattles like whoa.
checked the oil, and its low?? i just changed it yesterday, and its not leaking. maybe it was still up in the engine for running a little. who knows.

i do know that i need some help from one of the vw guys who works on these things.

lol shouldnt have sold the honda
honda>vw

dont remind me

I pmed you my number, call me at like 7.

i’m not sure what im doing but i might be able to help. i have plans now though :confused:

rattling? sounds like the cat could have gone to shit and it’s choking off the engine. hop under there and tap the cat, if you hear rattlign she’s done like dinner.

heres my error report, a HUGE :tup: to Darkkstar for the use of his hardware.
oh, and someone hook me up with a version my crack works for :slight_smile:
r311.2n, b310.0n, b308.1n, r301.1n, b212.2, r208.1, SVO 304.0
