I had that scanner and i've a 12 plate used it to check out the CECM trouble codes. This picked up 2 faults and defined them as per VCDS. Don'f know what could be wrong with it. When you plug into the OBD port think it gives 2 options Audi/VW or OBD. I picked Audi/vw and then the particular module.
