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.
Audi S1 gone, awaiting 1.5tsi r-line, pan roof, led lights front and rear, active dash, 18" jurva alloys and a dealer fitted Oettinger roof spoiler in tornado red.
