Now i have decodes a few of these (the iPhone app for this is pants, not recommended) I know that i have an issue with my ABS, so i am happy that a couple of those are ABS sensors, anyone shed any light on what the others are, and more importantly, how to fix them (if needed)

Also, im not sure if anyone can help me, as you can see from the results, this is not a full scan but only what was avail from the software (freeware) version i have, can you get the full version for free ? without torrenting it or something like that.

Any thoughts/suggestions/opinions all very much appreciated.

Thanks

Jamie

Oh and just for reference, this is what my app decoded those as, which is dont think is right

From Autodata

00281- vehicle speed senosr, check wiring is your speedo working?

00543- max engine speed exceeded, guess youve hit the limiter at some point.

00282-idle speed control actuator/throttle motor-Throttle valve tight/sticking,check wiring too.



00533-idle speed control-throttle valve tight/sticking-iac valve or isc actuator/position sensor

 

There are 4 common software variations for the manual European MK3 Golf VR6 and 3 control systems from model year 92-98. Other software variations exist for Passat and Corrado.
Below is my preferred way of identifying the engine hardware/software type rather than US federal diagnostic std of OBD1 or OBD2 ( US market common slang for pre 95 vehicles and post 95) .

You have a late EU2 MK3 VR6 ( 1H chassis) with a Bosch 3.8.1 engine controller and an ABS controller with Electronic diff lock option. You used a 3rd party interface with a demo copy of VAGCOM 409.1.

Engine related emission faults.
Speedo G68, looks like the supply voltage source was interrupted as was the MAF (G70).
V64 TPS and idle speed stepper share the J338 throttle module and also seem to have had a supply voltage interruption as the two will not fail at the same time.
Suggest a reset and then monitor if the faults come back

ABS system faults.
The ABS module on MK3 vehicles intermittently disable the ABS pump for some reason. A reset normally turns on the system but does not always switch off the ABS fault light. I have been checking this out during the cold snap.
I some theories about this which seems to be related to coolant bottle overflow wetting ABS unit and causing a system fault/short. Investigation ongoing using full version of VAGCOM to determine what happens when the hydraulic pump stops working
Suggest a reset and see if the faults come back.
