I have an '02 Jetta ALH with a CEL.
It started after I received a low coolant light. I added VW coolant & distilled water (50/50) to reservoir and low coolant light went out. About 3 miles down the road I received a CEL.
I "tried" to connect VCSD to OBD2, but received a connection error. I tried several times, same issue. I used same cable and laptop on '97 Passat TDI and had no problem connecting and running a diagnostic, so I know the VCSD cable and laptop USB connections are good.
Any thoughts other than a VW dealer to resolve the issue. Maybe something I can check?
I took a look under the dash and did not see any obvious wire or other connection problems.
I have a job interview coming up Monday or Tuesday and need it fixed. I'd hate to have it quit on me on the way to an interview (not a good thing). This is the first time I've ever had an issue with the VCDS and OBD2 not connecting.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
