jaekalun05 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I've recently bought a 2.0 2011 Audi A3 with no clutch but the reason I'm here is because when I bought the car there was no lights on the dash but when I got the car home (on a trailer) it wouldn't start so I tried jump starting it a few times but it wouldn't go so I took the battery out to charge it after charging it it still wouldn't start so I bought a new battery (80ah) it now starts but there's several lights on the dash, abs, traction control, tyre pressure the lot I've tried clearing the cods but they come straight back on immediately I've checked fuses and I don't really know where to go from here, any help would be much appreciated Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest using a more modern manufacturer specific platform, OBD Eleven or VCDS. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
