THINKING OF PURCHASING THIS CAUSE I HAVE A AIRBAG FAULTWARNING MESSAGE ON MY CAR ALSO FUEL CONSUMPTION IS CRAP ON MY CAR. WOULD THIS BE ANYGOOD FOR FINDING BOTH THE PROBLEMS AND ERASING THE ERROR CODES?? DON'T WAN BUY IT IF ITS RUBBISH? OR WOULD I BE BETTER OFF WITH VAG COM 4.1 SOFTWARE AND THE USB 16 PIN CABLE??
MY CAR IS MK 4 GOLF 1.8TURBO GTI 3DOOR 2000 W REG

No im not selling them - didnt get mine from them. You can make the seller best offer and get it cheaper :laugh:
Mine did come off ebay for around 20 pounds its been really good.
If your car has a fault you scan it then you just find the code in the booklet which is supplied to find what is wrong :wink:

Only illegal to change the mileage & sell the car on. You could change it down to 000000 as long as you still own the car. It's for if/when you need new clocks & have to put your correct mileage back in. ;)
-
oh fair enuff obviously you could change the mileage a little for wen u sell it as long as it coinsides with log book, service history

urm NO as thats ILLEGAL! :angry: you only change the mileage when fitting new clocks and even then it must be the same mileage as the old clocks
