Hi
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue?
So I bought my obdeleven about 2 months ago it's the next generation starter pack
I've used it on my skoda octavia vrs mk2 vrs and at the mo have had no problems cleared a few minor faults with it
And yesterday I took it into work with me because I've been telling a mate how good it was and he asked if I could use it on his Audi A4 avant 2006 2.5 V6
So bearing in mind his car has been running fine no issues
So connected fine ran a scan and only found 3 problems which I thought was good for a 2006 car
1 was air conditioning
1 was door electrical
1 was injection pump control
The strange thing was after the scan his orange/yellow coil light was on the dash flashing which hadn't been on previously
I could clear the air conditioning and door electrical fault but just wouldn't let me clear the injection pump fault and I tried a few times
My mate had to go home by now and headed off with the coil light still flashing he got about a mile down the road and the car went into limp mode and he only just got it home
He rang me saying what had gone on and I just felt guilty that he'd had this problem down to using the obdeleven and I just hopped it wasn't going to be anything major for him to sort out
Luckily he had AA breakdown cover so gave them a call and they call around his house and connected the car to their fault finder and were able to clear it
And at the moment the car seams to be OK again thankfully
My issue is I bought this to obviously use on my car and hopefully in some family and friends cars to help out if needed but this episode has now put doubt in my mind to Deffinatly not use it on family and friends cars as I don't need hassle if this can happen and now has worried me about using it on mine too?
