Hello everyone, I was hoping I could get some help with an issue I’m having with my car. 2016 Golf R.
About two weeks ago I got in my car and started it up and I think every error light that could come on came on. That’s never happened before, never even had any real issues with the car. As soon as I drove off they cleared so I wasn’t sure what had happened. It happened again a few more times a few days later so I started checking forums and it seemed like my issue was the battery. It’s the original battery so that made sense. It tested low with a voltmeter so I replaced with a new DieHard H5-AGM, 60 amp hour, the original was also an AGM.
This did not solve my issues so I did more research and found info on coding with my OBD11. I changed the settings ( in the Battery Adaption section) for the new amp hour as suggested, changed one number in the serial to a 0 and have since tried the AGM-Binary and the Fleece settings. No luck. I’ve tried clearing the codes all at once after the scan, as well as individually in the Control Modules. Still no luck.
Most of the errors say Databus error value received.
Any ideas on what to try next or does this sound like a trip to the dealership? Also, any thoughts on the Battery VooDoo option to reset all sensors?
