does this mean you can get the code off of vw+ just use vagcom?
i think you need the proper cable for vagtacho to work, according to mkiv forum

That is for cars after 2002 so it says on the website.

apparently it would work with 7 digit skc but vw dont give them out since 2005, that is in america though? so you could try asking local dealer if they still do this, otherwise it will have to be vagdash, im sure topher knows more, just trying to find info to help+ see exactly how much i can do with vagcom.

Cheers dude, your ace.

If you manage to work out how vagcom and vag tacho works to be able to decode the immob and would be willing to travel to Lymington before Saturday then I could pay you with beers

i could on sat some time but pretty sure i need new cable for vagtacho + doesnt look like vagcom will do it on its own, dont know what topher thinks though, he seems to be the expert.
ill have to look tonight to see if i have anymore info on it.

Well Saturday I'll be over in Pompey at JKM. I was hoping I'd be able to get her going before Saturday so I could take it with me to JKM for the RR day, if not then toph will hopefully pop round after JKM to sort it out. I'll get a lift there with Adam.

Yup. BIG thanks to Toph and Nick from Rtech! Car is now running (sweet...ish). Just needs some fine tuning.

Gotta admit, I over ported the throttle body just a bit too much and now idles VERY lumpy. Need to source another TB from a scrappy at some point and port it properly, with a dremel.

Again, BIG thanks guys and beer and cookies on the shopping list

Depending on the year there might be some immobiliser coding to do, so you'll need your pin# and vagcom

Glad i could help mate. I was a little concerned that the immo dash light wasn't flashing, but as soon as i saw the dtc for engine start blocked i knew we were on to a winner
