Right guys, I sent all 6 injectors off to be tested, low and behold, injector 3 has zero flow on idle. Got it rebuild, fitted it this evening, and I've got a smooth idle! Took it for a drive, no fault codes and no lights. Low rail pressure seems to have disappeared now too. Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone that gave advise. I can finally get back to work now 😂! Cheers once again!

I have just downloaded via the SD drive in my car a software 'patch' created by https://www.vagcarcoding.com This solved the software fault. DAB now fully operational.

thank you Mark, I hadn't realised this, all OK now

HI!!! thought i'd report on the outcome in case it can help others.......I checked the speed sensors with a obd and after i sussed how to do it they all came out OK,so that was off the list,i bought a new after market steering angle sensor and fitted it ....while doing so i noticed that the Module thing had dropped a little and had obviously disconnected a few things slightly,this occured as when i first got the car after a few weeks the key could not be removed and i had to drill the steering lock out, when i put the lot together i for some reason didnt put the little screw back that holds the module in place (mustve lost it???) i held it in place with really good tape (this was at least 2 years ago),i'm assuming that with the weather lately the tape got sticky and melted a bit and with the amount of road humps round my way the Module dropped down????....it is possible that the angle sensor was ok but just disconnected?? ....all the faults are gone now and the car seems to be working ok with no warning lights on the dash.....i guess i will never know as i aint gonna check as it was a bit of a pain in the ar5e to do. it all makes sense now with te wipers/indicaters not working which was a bit wierd .....anyway cheers to those who gave advice......by the way.....my obd skills need to get better as i removed the tool and left the key in the ignition ON overnight and fried the battery☹️....it was really swollen once i sussed ...£50 down the drain....lucky i didnt fry the electrics and lucky the battery didnt explode....i noticed the previous owner didnt remove the 2 plugs from the battery that you are supposed to do when you recieve it??? maybe ive been driving a ticking timebomb??? i didnt even know batteries had these plugs??? ....cheers again all

If I drive it easy it should be fine until it goes in. Not to the 7th of July now so will keep yous updated.

ThanksSteve Q. I popped in to my local dealer and explained the problem. Spoke to a young woman who reset my user. She looked at the screen and after a few moments of trial and error she found all that it needed was to press the roller wheel next to the OK on the steeling wheel and the message disappeared! Thanks for the help any one who replied on this forum. Kind regards

Quick update on the gearbox issue. Mechanic told me to disconnect battery. Reconnected after half hour and to be fair the gearbox shifted seamlessly then went back into fault from 1-2. I’ve just got the stage 1 remap removed today and no issues at all so far. I’m wondering if the ecu map has caused this as I didn’t get the tcu done. It’s now booked in on the 7th to get looked at anyway. It’s so slow tho.

Are the sensors turned on when your approaching the wall? They only activate when you put the car in reverse or if you push the button to turn them on, then they should stay active until your forward speed is over 4mph(ish)
