not get a code from a generic reader? youll get more detail with vagcom but can still get good info off a generic reader

Got an Ac618 OBDII reader off a mate, reads the code but wont let me see it of reset it, guessing its the pre2006 VW thing that people are mentioning. Hopefully DJR can save the day.

Why dont you post the code up? Or google it....it will at least give you an indication of what the ECU triggered the light for.
