Default Manufacturer Control - Auxiliary input and output & Cylinder 4 misfire codes
I went out to fire up Alvin (98.5 1.8tq) this morning and had trouble starting him. When it did finally fire, I had a solid CEL. I ran down to my friendly neighborhood Auto Zone to scan the codes and here is what they pulled...

Manufacturer Control
Auxiliary Input
Auxiliary Output

Cylinder 4 misfire

After starting the car, it ran fine with no more misfires. I am familiar with the misfire codes, but not the Manuf. Control Aux ones. Anyone know what would throw these codes?

TIA

Get a VAG-COM and find out.

Default No, it's called you went to AutoZone (Mistake 1), asked for help (mistake 2), and then
post here without even so much as a generic P-code (mistake threeish) for the manufacture's codes.

Default I went to AutoZone because I assumed it was a misfire code and the closest VAG-COM is 75 miles away.
I assumed someone here had this code pop up before and knew something about it, or would pretend they did . Easy trigger, it's Friday.

Default If you don't have access to a place to have your car looked at - the investment in a VAG-COM
would be worth it too you.
