Guys, went to pick up the car. New accumulator installed, seals changed, Hydraulics oil changed, turbo cleaned, went for a test drive, the car drove fine, but i forgot to ask whether the basic settings had been done, so i drove back to the garrage. The mechanic said "No", so he took his laptop, and started doing the settings. The Vag-Com was slow to respond, giving instructions to loosen some nut, then tighten it, the gearbox started making clicking sounds. He unhooked the laptop from the Obd connector, and the car wouldn't start. When in tiptronic he continued clicking and selecting gears.... When connected via obd it went to 1, 2, 3, had trouble selecting 4, and went on to 5, sometimes barely touching 4. The mechanic said the car needs to be raised and some nut disconnected so that the gearbox could go through the gears unobstructed and finish the settings. After doing so, the same thing happened. I tried to start the car when the car was lowered, the engine started, but immediately cut off. The mechanic was in the middle of servicing another car so he had to leave Lupo for tomorrow, "hoping" to find the solution. Any advice would be appreciated! I am now worried if any damage had been done and whether things had been seriously messed up...
I found something about not switching off the ignition under any circumstances, after the basic setting had been interrupted, which was obviously done here....
