I'm in a bad place with my 2012 TDI 147,000 miles. Getting ready to turn the car into VW. Went to start car after sitting for several weeks and it would not crank. Tried to trickle charge (1 amp maintainer for a couple days)...would not take charge....
There is no way I'm putting a new battery to simply turn in the vehicle, so I took a good battery from the jeep and replaced. Now car cranks but no start. VCDS now has a bunch of codes (several are "status malfunction 0010) that weren't there before.
I've read about touching the leads together and saw the voodoo sequence which I haven't tried. Turn on the key and the engine fans run all the time
Can I reset thru VCDS, try the voodoo procedure, or tow the )&*% thing to VW and spend sunk money
I'd appreciate any insight
Thanks!
