Hi I have a bb4 with air con and sunroof ( only saying that as it might have some thing to do with my problem) when I got the car the check engine light was on, ive done the paper clip test and am geting back "code 0" ive looked on line and have been told this is an ECU code, the car runs ok and havent noticed any major problem, does any body know what could be fireing my ecu code?

P.s. Ive been told its been chiped and have also have reset it but it come back after 2 minutes

how can you have a code "0"??

codes are given by number of flashes, so to get a code 0, there would be no flashes, so how do you know you have it?!?!

As mine never had 4ws and has no 4ws light I read on line that the check engine light would flash to give me the code, I put the paper clup in and it just goes out, so im asuming thats code 0

If im doing some thing wrong please tell me as im fed up with that dam orange light

Nope, every code has a series of flashes. If the light just goes out it indicates there are no faults stored.

I'd first try a reset of the ECU as here:

Then see how you go.

The ECU, the 4WS and the ABS all have their own lights, which flash ECU error code related to that system.

Ive reset it many times but it still comes on, I have no 4ws or abs, it did stay off once but only for about 10 minutes

Right so you are getting the check engine light come on while driving? Hence why you've done the paperclip test? As Adam suggests, if the light comes on then goes out but doens't flash any codes, none are stored. Very weird.

It's definitely the engine light and not the cat temp sensor warning light? Many have got these confused before. Best suggestion I can make on the info. Does seem very odd though.

When you next do the paper clip test take a vid and post it here

Also see my post here, that might be why it's not showing you codes...

Yea, as wurlycorner says in the link above, if you dont get a good contact with the wire or paperclip, it wont work and the light just goes out.You may need to push it in further

. Also, make sure you are using the right plug, there are two close together, and if i remember correctly it's easy to get wrong one.
