^^^  The way I look at it Kev is, if someone offered it to me for £20 then it would be saving me £230 as I had said to myself I would have to buy it tomorrow!!

I'm very much a tinkering type of person and even if I get a loan of someone's cable, I may well buy it myself even although none of my mates have a VW and it will just sit in my drawer for a few years.

Your exactly right, I'm just being silly.

I would gladly hire it for £20 too.

Hi,
I've been through the different stages that the PM could have been classed as spam but unfortunately not seen anything!!

Can you re send the details of the PM to the PM function here or the email address listed on my profile.

Cheers


Incidentally does anyone anyone know if this lead would work? (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VCDS-VAG-908-HEX-CAN-USB-2010-EASY-INSTAL-/260601490927?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3cad0f2def)  or indeed this one? (http://www.vag-diagnostics.com/sales.html)

I was under the impression it had to be a Ross Kemp Tech or nothing but both these sites are adamant. The second site especially.

Kev, your up in geordie land aren't you?

I'll do you a deal, I've just bought a G220 DA polisher and could do with a few tips/pointers.

Just a few tips mind I'm not into gay meets (joke!)

Could bring it to you, get some tips on how to use the DA and leave the VCDS with you. Either bring it back or post it when your finished with it.

Cheers got it and replied.

(Shameless Bump as well) Anyone know if this is a genuine cable (http://www.vag-diagnostics.com/sales.html) it says it comes complete with VCDS 908 and looks like a legit company.

Whereas this one from ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VCDS-VAG-908-HEX-CAN-USB-2010-EASY-INSTAL-/260601490927?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3cad0f2def) I would be hesitant about?

Cheers

I'm running VCDS 912 at the moment I think.  I'm a bit dubious about other companies selling cables to work with Ross Tech's software.  Seems genuine enough though?

That isn't a genuine lead, although it looks like the chinese have successfully managed to clone the hex usb leads with can compatibility (only took them 3 years?)

Use at your own risk, expect no backup from rosstech if things go wrong.
