Scoping out used cars with Durametric Cable before purchase, What are

[touareg]

So I am going down to VA to check out a used car, and went and purchased the Durametric cable.

So when I scan the car, what are common errors that are not to serious, and are there any I should freak out about?

Basically, silly thinks, like wiper ran too long, or a intermittent radio connectivity type errors I know are common on german cars. Making these errors up so don't quote me on them! But I think you know what I mean.

Thanks!

Common codes in various modules are low voltage caused from a weak battery or the vehicle being stationary too long. If the battery voltage drops too low during cranking it will set these bogus codes.

Cool, that would explain some of the errors I get on the touareg too ;)

The main thing you can see is the motor revs.

I think there are 2 classes.

As I understand them -- the first is not serious -- and while is high revs (maybe even hitting the rev limiter) -- they are within spec.

the second is more serious and are true overrevs -- usually during downshifting.

My guess is you won't find any other codes of significance.
