Vagcom??????
« on: 06 October 2009, 23:07 »
Hi Everyone

I am fairly new to the Golf scene and have been reading about Vagcom on here quite a bit. I know nothing about Vagcom and from what I can gather it reads the fault codes and resets service codes etc. After looking on fleabay I have seen one which I am thinking of buying. Is this what I need or is it no good to me??  I drive a 1997 8v GTi by the way.
Also don't know how to paste a link to item so the item number is190329451002

Thanks for your help

Hi Mate

Yes that cable looks to be what you need. I haven't got that one exactly, so if you truly want to be sure then get the one i got. It comes with the software too so you don't have to faff about on the web.

Yeah its easy enough. It can do far more complex things too if you really wanted to. Various info on thr forums and web so not too difficult to find out how to do stuff. The Ross Tech website is helpful.

Just copy and paste the address bar starting http//www. and there is a vagcom section in the garage.

Have just brought it off E.Bay and will have a tinker when it arrives. Is there anything I need to be aware of when using this??     Cheers     Deano
