Hello, I have recently bought a 2000 passat 2.8 v6.
The car was not running when I bought it but with some fresh gas, a starter, plugs and wired it started up. It is to the point where I would like to register it. I live in MA which requires inspection. The check engine light came on which was no big deal for me. I went to amazon and bough a vw and Audi special scanner and plugged it in. I got the Linking error message and can not figure out why. I did some research and figured out that it could be my after market radio which I checked and can not figure out why that would effect it. The "K line" does have power which I know it should not. However, I did in fact cut the K line out of the OBD2 port and I am still getting the Linking error message. If anyone knows more about this, it would be a huge help to getting this car on the road. Thank you
