First time user...
2007 VW GTI. I thought I was doing the smart thing and I hit “backup” and checked all of the boxes.
Now I went from having a few faults in central electronics to faults in every module and a dead battery.
The dead battery might just be from having the car on for a while looking at the app and stuff. So, I have the battery charging.
But, man. What did I do wrong and how do I undo it?

lionsphan: Hi. Sorry to read about your experience - but I suspect that your ONLY error was draining the battery because of the time that it took to complete the Backup process! Maybe consider hooking-up a battery charger the next time that you repeat the procedure! I'm not that familiar with a MY07 Golf (mk6?) - but do this:
- Your first step is to take the car for a short drive - this should self clear those errors that resulted from the low-battery rail voltage.
- Then fire-up OBD11 and make a SCAN report
- Then, clear ALL errors and make a fresh SCAN report.
- Compare the 2 x SCAN reports and you should see which errors were caused by the failed battery rail voltage and which errors are "real"
