VAGCOM / FAULT CODES & Users location database
« on: 15 February 2006, 11:00 »
Here is a useful database I found of VAGCOM users around the country. Hopefully you can find one near you should the need arise.

http://www.uk-mkivs.net/forums/123503/ShowPost.aspx


And some pointers to get you started

www.ross-tech.com

either buy genuine lead or an Ebay special and download the software from Ross Tech

OBD Port (where you plug in) is located above the ashtray and below the aircon controls

List of fault codes can be found here

Ross Tech Wiki

That should get most of you started.  Search the forum too as there's hundreds of VAG COM threads kicking about

VAGCOM is the software used to interrogate all your 'boxes' and ECU. Similar if not the same as the software that VAG use when they plug a laptop into your car.

Sorry, I'm also a bit lame on this stuff, how detailed would the diagnostics report be?  EG pipe cracks or something as minor as that?
