USA car,not told and matters huge.(out side USA are different cars() check fuses scan the car, using OBD2 scan tool. only have 1 key only have 2 FOB car came new with 2, lost second set< never have just 1. does car have IMMO ?

Fuse blown - look for the one with the key symbol it powers windows/locks/interior lights/sunroof operation. Then work out why it blows...could be anything on the circuit so check a lock isn't sticking on/off when operating the central locking.

HI MOST EMMISSIONS PROBLEMS R SIMPLE IF THE CAR STARTS AND RUNS AND NO ENGINE LIGHT IS ON THERE R 3 TYPES OFF MOT FAILIURE COULD U TELL ME EXCACTELEY WHAT IT SAYS ON UR EMMISSION SHEET REGARDS

It seems to me that somehow the driveshaft is slipping; I assume that in order to replace the wishbone you had to loosen the big nut that ties the driveshaft to the disk assembly, if this was the case, make sure that the "big" nut is really tight so that it does not slip. If the driveshaft slips, the planetary gears in the differential would transfer all of the engine power to that side of the car and no power to the other side, similar to having one wheel stuck in mud, or in the air. hope this helps

have the fault codes read to get the problem area

replace with new clock

indicates a problem with the ambient temp or Baro sensors that are not reporting correctly to the ECM or dirty MAF/VAF sensors doing the same There will be fault codes so make sure that the scanner in use has the right protocol for VW the wet or cold ambient conditions all affect these sensor operations

You must have the traction control system scanned for the fault code that is present when the light is on.

You are describing a bad ignition switch. These fail in such a way that the voltage to the ignition fails while in the crank position.

I suggest having the front suspension immediately inspected for damage, especially something that could be repaired before causing more damage. It appears that it may, at the minimum, be out of alignment and at worst, the axle and/or frame nay be bent.

If it aftermarket, remove it.

Try disconnecting the battery to reset.

You probably have a bad ABS sensor on one of the tyres, I would check that first.

Have you tested the turn signal switch is voltage leaving the turn signal switch? I would think it is the switch that is the problem assuming all the fuses related to the lights are ok and not blown out.

Also check your vacuum lines and hoses, I cannot stress this enough.

demagnetized key...try the second key(service key)some times....not solved?..try taking of the car battery out for 5 minutes and try again..if it remains you need to go to tester..probably the error stayed in cars cpu..the doctor will eraise it and try again..if the problem remains yet..you need a new key...

the complaint you have is indicating over fueling. you need to check fuel pressure, pressure regulator, injectors, as well as check for codes in the computer.

You did put 134a back in? But possibly not enough? There is a pressure safety switch somewhere in the system that detects pressure and opens the circuit if not enough freon. At least that is where I would start. Does the Compressor turn freely otherwise by hand? Did you get enough compressor oil into the system (new Compressors need special charge with compressor oil).

Should not be that I know of.
