rh203 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hi all,Looking at investing in something to read fault codes from VAG group cars (I've had three VW's in the past 4 years and each one has needed diagnostics for one reason or another).Leaning toward a hand-held Vs. investing in / acquiring some form of VAG-COM system. Anyone have experience / comments on something like this? : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vagcom-Diagnostic-Scanner-Audi-VW-VAG5053-CAN-BUS-/120695293468?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item1c1a00061c#ht_500wt_1092Cheers,Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakyeke Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I used a similar hand-held machine yesterday, which I borrowed from a neighbour, to clear an airbag light on my Lupo. Very handy piece of kit.His is THIS ONE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 if you get a vag com usb lead and the program for a laptop it seems you can read more than just fault codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jase Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Vag com now called vcds is qualityBut at around 200 quid for the registered version it isnt cheapYou can read fault codes, clear themAlso you can make some changesI enabled anti - hijack (doors lock at 15mph)Alarm bleeps on lock and unlockAnd one touch locking that opens all doors on one key fob press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
