Hi all, first post and I've come in the search of help please.

VW golf gtd 2013

Over the last week I am having errors come up when I start the car. ACC error, stop start error, flashing coil light and today a check engine light that stays on when the other errors come and go. They appear as soon as I start the car and remain for at least 6 ignition on and off cycles. As I said, engine light now remains on.

I've had no knocks or bangs but I have recently had some work done by my mechanic. Rear shocks replaced, front top mounts, wishbones and bushes. The front wheels now need re-aligning.

Does anyone have the slightest idea of what might be happening to my car please? I have my mechanic coming to put the diagnostic kit on it next week but some ammo would be helpful for when he turns up.

Thanks in advance

A bit of an update. I had a DTUK box on the car and as a hunch I thought I'd take it off to see what happens. Initially the engine light stayed on with no other errors. I left the car for a day and in the evening, started it and engine light gone. Drove it, all ok.

Next day my mechanic comes to scan the codes. The most noticeable ones were a fault on the fuel pressure sensor/rail which the box plugs into and ACC alignment. Codes cleared and not one single error since!

Touch wood all sorted. Thank you all for your input.
