rcd510

I'm the same buddy, total novice. Should cost around £200-£250 from the US (excluding any possible customs and import charges) And if you do decide to buy, the mk6 needs the CAN interface. So HEX-USB+CAN Interface would be ideal.

The UK company on the official Ross-tech distributer list is Gendan.
They supply it for £200 with free postage.

If the problem can be fixed by VagCom, then I'd happily pay out the £200... as it would still be much cheaper than the factory fit options!!

Cool, never knew about that.

Maybe it might be an option for us mk6'ers, that we could get say 20 of us, all chip in £10 each and buy it. Then we just send to whoever needs it.

I can see that going Pete Tong. 

Because of untrustworthy people ?

Noooo - nothing sinister like that! :embarassed:

Someone might have gone away on holiday or business or sommat, or they might not have finished with it themselves, or they might have mislaid it, or maybe they just lazy and CBA to pop it in a jiffy bag and pop in a post box.   Or it might even get stollen from their car or garage?


If you have intentions of keeping your dub for a few years, then getting your own vag-com lead for 200 notes is definately a worthwhile investment.  Use it a few times yourself, or help out fellow dubbers for a few beer tokens, and it will soon pay for itself.  And you can always sell it later.

Ah ok, cool.

Found a garage to code the RNS510 to my car, getting it done sat'day morning for £25. That will do me for now and as soon as i can i'll purchase my own most definately, still shocked VW wanted my car for half a day at £75plus VAT per hour... Outragous

Were you allowed to sit with them when using the VCDS ? If so, what did you think of it ?
