To be honest, their sh!te on AGU's! I sold mine the other week. They read torque and bhp badly and mass air flow which is accurate-ish if you divide the figure by 0.8 to give you the BHP figure They do read faults but only after you disconnect something first! Also they rob you of heating which IMO is the best reason not to get one.

I sold mine for £130. Do a rolling road. The 0-60 on the liquid guage is crap as it is just a stopwatch with a countdown before I think. Only tried it once an it was a fail! The boost guage I put in to replace it rocks the casbah!

As what VWFiend said mate, Its not great on a AGU. i sent mine back to Jim at Liquid to have the agu upgrade put on but its still lacking a ot of things. Its a nice toy for some of the thiugs that do work on there but unforchernetly its wasted on out older Mk4. I have put mine into my mates Anny and then it come alive and is worth every bit of money. Has every thing you want then.
From experiance save you money mate. Get some gadges that do boost, oil temp etc, or if you have a lap top invest it in a proper vertion of Vag-com :).
