Year of Manufacture *: 2009
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 3Ltr TDi
Replaced O/S/R Brake Caliper with new Rear Brake Pads. Rear Handbrake now working but could not enter Rear Brake Pad adaptions.
Road test vehicle. Handbrake worked and no dashboard warning lights at this stage but still had fault code for Brake Pad wear and still unable to set adaptions.
Contacted Autodiagnos helpline who asked me to try Adaptions and Settings. No data was entered. However, at this point handbrake warning lights start flashing and handbrake would now not work. New Fault Code 'basic settings not carried out'.
It appears the Module has now locked. VW say running vehicle for 20 mins or so should resolve the problem where fault code would appear as intermittent and would therefore be able to be deleted and Handbrake would start to work. Have tried this without any success.
Not sure as to if/what Autodiagnos has played a part in this, but no data was entered. Not certain whether just a coincidence.
Autodiagnos are going to download some software tomorrow but am very sceptical as to what help this will be.
Cannot understand why everything was working one minute and the next the Module locked. Has anybody experienced this particular scenario?
Cheers
Ian
