VCDS not seeing modules

Ok guys,

So I got my new VCDS cable (genuine) as I figured it was about time I got one after having umpteen VAGs in the past. And currently am back at 2.

Anyway, so my ED30 is in getting looked at, so thought I'd have a bash at my Alhambra. See what error codes she is hiding, and have a bash at finding out which parking sensor is causing the monotonous tone I hear when engaging reverse.

So, I run a scan. First things first, it doesn't appear to run the CAN based scan, and CAN not ready appears in the port test. So I pick the Alhambra (7M), and run the scan.

Here is what I get...

So it stops at Address 19, and doesn't go to any of the other modules. Anyway, that Glow Plug controller will need looking at I guess, but looks like only been logged once, 5,000 Km ago. But anyway, I clear DTC's and the scan re-runs, giving this:

So, at least it looks like that Glow Plug is a real fault, as it has reset the km counter to the current mileage. So I guess I'll want that looked at before it starts getting really cold.

But it also has now seen the CAN gateway, as it was showing No Comms before, and no fault on the Aux Heater either.

But I still don't get past Address 19, and cannot appear to get into the Parking Aid [76] separately either.

Any ideas what is going on here?

Ok. So found out the parking sensors are an aftermarket Cobra kit. D'oh. So ordered the parts to fix (cable and sensor).

No longer worried too much about CAN gateway, maybe the car isn't REALLY a CAN based vehicle?

But any help on the glowplug controller fault would be much appreciated. Can't really find too much info out there about it.

I had to replace my injector/glow plug harness and since you have that open replace the glow plugs as well
