Title: VAG COM
Post by: Luke1981 on 15 April 2011, 17:39: Just some quick advice please

I have downloaded Ross-Tech VCDS light and seen this com port on e-bay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAG-USB-DIAGNOSTIC-CABLE-409-1-OBD2-II-LEAD-VAG-COM-/330399696070?pt

Will this suffice for basic fault finding on my 1998 8v?

Thanks chaps :smiley:
