    Recently came across an out-of-warranty Mecedes A-class that was lacking power and generally running badly. I took a look at it and advised the owner that the AFM was probably at fault. As A-class owners may know the AFM is integrated into the ECU and sits on the right hand side of the engine

    Does anyone know how to reset the ECU without using VAG-COM or other diagnostic software? I'm wanting to clear the "learned" values (apparently it's a self-learning ECU?). I've read online that disconnecting the battery does nothing as the values are hard-stored - anyone know
