so you'd just go with a universal then lol. decisions decisions ha. i'm in birmingham mate.
It's upto you mate to be honest either the one I've linked or the one Mike has will do the trick. But if your planning on changing manufacturer the uni will do the trick.
One code it picked up on my 170 was the throttle actuator control module for example.
Also if you get the VAG specific and change many you could always sell it on
For sure mate would cost more than £30 to have her plugged in at most garages so a good purchase.
Plus it's good to have so you can help others in need of a reader

definately. i didn't know it cost that much to get it plugged in at a garage. my local performance place did it for free the other week and wiped the management light. might pop down tomorrow and see what he can find. as mine won't arrive until thurs i think. went for the maxiscan VAG one in the end.
Yeah there are very few places that will do it FOC these days. Know they have to pay for the equipment but some of the prices people get charged are a rip off.
Keep us up to date on how this goes for you fella

thanks, those are the two things that keep popping up. shame it doesn't relate to my power loss though. i've seen an n75 valve mentioned a few times, i may change this too just incase. thanks
If there's anything going to cause power loss it will be the N75, it happens on the Audi S2. When they start playing up they reduce the amount of boost and also the power so before you buy a charcoal canister or N80 get a N75. Another name for it is a waste gate frequency valve.
thanks guys. but the charcoal cannister and n80 are for the fault code showing and the n75 is for the ongoing problem i've had since getting the car regarding power loss. it's funny i went for the pcv valve the other day and they ended up giving me an n75 i think, had a feeling i'd need that one too but swapped it lol.
was also hoping to go and get the tommorow, i don't really want to wait for deliveries and such

so i had the n75 valve changed today. wow, the car is so different now. it almost feels too fast lol now i've felt how it should sound and respond i'm even more surprised that the garages that first had the car never noticed it. when i put my foot down before you could hear a stop start sound coming from possibly the filter or something like a tsh tsh tsh lol. but now the delivery is smooth and constant without that start stop sound which must have neen the n75 opening and closing. thanks all to the folk that helped and to NVmotorsport who got the job sored for me. roll on summer!
