Title: VAG COM Fault Reader
Post by: difficultrogue on 12 March 2008, 19:31
Me motors not running quite right - Ive already spent 200 quid trying to sort it out - so I thought dont spend any more money guessing what might be wrong - plug a fault reader in and change what the machine tells me!"£$ - I think Ive done the right thing?

vag com is great if you know how to use it... just dont adjust things as youll never be able to sort any errors you make

No I dont trust my self with the full software - this vag com is only a fault reader - it wont let me change anything. - it just spits out the fault codes and lets me reset as I go.
