Disconnect battery for few minutes and check then

OK Stan, thanks
I went to run another auto scan today and the symptoms changed. Interesting I thought that means something else must have changed. All the dash lights flashing and relays clicking I thought maybe a relay had gone.
Anyway I followed the earlier advice from beemer124 & NZDubNurd and checked the battery. WOW 8.9v! OK that's unexpected, I've got in on charge and I'll update this thread later after its full and I've had VCDS on it again
Coincidence can be a bitch sometimes, fingers crossed that's all it is

Hi, just a really basic idea here, you are sure there is enough power on your battery ?
Might sound stupid, but sometimes it's the smallest thing that is wrong. I once opened the engine on a moped I had, just to find out it was out of fuel

Battery was my initial thought too.

It doesn't take much to run the battery low enough to cause issues.

Thanks guys you were spot on, it would have been a long time before I thought to check the battery. Probably because I was working on the van at the time and always assume its my fault because experience has taught me that it usually is
So I'm pleased I'm not as ham fisted as I thought but embarrassed at resorting to the forum to diagnose a flat battery

Ok, don't stress over it, I'm sure it's a simple (ish) fix.

Yep they don't come much easier, the hardest part was borrowing a charger

Thanks to @stan-the-man as well between you you have saved me a lot of aggro

Glad to hear it was a simple fix as that Always a good feeling when you think it's something expensive but turns out to be nothing. Have a nice weekend
