    Default Need someone to scan my car in Alpharetta area...im sure someone has a vagcom

    Like the title states, I need someone to scan my car and help me get it out of limp mode. Driving around with low boost SUCKS

    Anyone in the Alpharetta area have a vagcom. Im willing to drive some, but the closer the better obviously.

    TIA

    I was talking to Arthur, but his is far away...im trying not to drive out there. If no one else has one then I will though.

    Is he coming with you Saturday to AutoFab? Maybe he can bring it then...

    Also can AutoZone clear codes or just check for them?

    I'm not sure if I'm going Saturday. it's a big maybe.

    I think they can clear the codes.

    if you want to get rid of the codes, unplug your battery terminal for like 2 mins or so, always works for me

    The stealership claimed nothing was wrong so i doubt its anything major. If it was something serious it would be throwing codes. I only disconnected my negative terminal. I need to try disconnecting both and see what happens...

    so no codes? hmm... your car's just running like crap then? Look under the hood. see if one of your coils decided to pop out of it's seat. if so, push it back in.

    All the coils are good.

    There COULD be a code. The dealership claimed to have scanned it and found nothing, but who knows whether they actually scanned it or not...

    So no one in Alpharetta or a close area has a vagcom?

    Walker is going to take a look at it tomorrow so hopefully he can shed some light on the situation.
