Default PES T-28 DBW and engine light...

I have installed the kit with the evo fmic and a RennKAT cat on my 2001 Quattro. My problem is the engine light remains on. The VAG tool reads a serial comunication error. Does anyone know what this means or had similar problems? Is it in the software? Whith the kit I received RC injecctors, which apparently were wrong because Ron at pes sent me smaller ones that I guess go with the DBW kit. Anybody with DBW T-28 kit know what injecctors you are running, had any similar problems? PES cant seem to help me. Any thoughts please?

Default Are u having problems with the VAG itself or a DTC?...

Were u able to communicate with the car? If not, it is a problem with your VAG/PC and not your kit.
The engine light could be numerous things when this kit was installed in which many cases it just needs to be reset or clear the codes.

Default I agree if you are not getting an actual fault code #...

If your not getting a fault code # its probably the VAG-COM or your computer. Where you able to use the VAG prior to installation of the kit? Once you have a fault code # let us know.

Default You have a 2001 that is a dbw and that year uses 390cc injectors.

The CEL is most likely on because of the HFC. The error is because there is a problem with your cable or the plug at the lap top for your Vag.

I am not personally using the VAG myself, but the guy who is works on porches all day. I hope he knows what he is doing. He uses a palm pilot hooked straight into the car. Do we need the computer hooked up instead? I need help.

I think it could be the VAG. What is DTC? Could anyone let me know the proper procedure for using the VAG tool?
