The Juicer Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I got one on the bay a few years back for my seat Leon. Have used it a few times to read and delete faults. It was about £50.ive made my money back on it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Al if you're ever near Belfast I'll run diagnostics for free. I can put out most lights with my Snap On reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrm1 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I have the older version of this, if you are keeping your VW its a good buy, the cheap ones do engine diagnostics, this one will do the stuff that is VAG specific, likes of immobiliser, service light, ABS, air con, even entertainment system as well etc... It will read most other cars that are OBD II compliant which is an industry standard, engine diagnostics. http://www.auteltool.co.uk/wholesale/autel-maxiservice-vag505-vw-audi-scan-tool.html?gclid=CJTU6tywy8UCFQsGwwodH6MAMA Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic1281 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Does anyone use VAG COM or vcds for altering the coding? I've got a few mods I'd like to do but don't fancy doing it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's steep! Almost a week on from the reset (approx 400 miles) and the light on my Golf is still off. Cheers Cannon! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
