Enging management light A3 2.0 TDI 2008

[cerance]

Hi guys,

Two weeks ago the engine management light came on, last week it went off, this week its back on, scanner says no codes, ABS says no codes and A/T and SRS says linking error. Can anybody throw some light on the problem for me cheers.

Does the linking error have a code?

No it does not mate, just says linking error, tried turning off ignition for ten seconds, still the same, tried unplugging and re attaching and still the same read out. Although the engine says no codes and the abs says no codes. The scanner is a vw/audi memo scanner u281. cheers

Looks like it may be a problem with your scanner:
