VAG-COM scanning, who can help

[h100vw]

Hi fellas, I am sure that the forum members would be glad to have help from the owners of VAG-COM cables around the country.

Other forums have a sticky with the details of members and their availability.

I'll go first.

I have the usb cable and can scan anything except the early 2 wire stuff. I live in Adelaide.

PM me to make contact.

Gavin

[The_Hawk]

Nice idea, will need to sort it into a nice sorted section by state at some stage... ;)

Edit: I now have the genuine cable :)

And have moved to SE Melbourne.


I'm in Campbelltown (Sydney) and have the FleeBay knock off cable but can still do lots of things, just not everything, especially on MkV's. A simple block change or code read/clear should be right though.

[Jmac]

I own a licensed VCDS ( Vagcom cable) can scan ANY including the 2 wire jobbies from way back. I have VagTacho for anyone needing distance to empty on your Golf or Bora.( works well if the cluster is VDO). I have a wide range of fuel pressure testers, Vac gauges, stethoscopes, oscilloscope, current clamp. If you are using your own Vchecker etc i can interpret your fault code for you.
i now own a Launch Diagun palm pilot and can read your aunties Bimmer, your uncles Merc and your cousins Nissan.
I am based in Brizzy

[goodfella]

I also have Ebay special vagcom cable and software...I'm in Sydney

[Mrk_Mickey]

Good idea Gav, thanks heaps mate!

[Golf Loon]

Yup, we have the licenced VAGCOM (Ross Tech) Cable and Software and can scan all late model stuff and adapt most stuff.

Also have the adaptor for the early 2 wire stuff.

Half price scans for VWW members ;)

[fuzion]

Have VDS, VagCom, VChecker.

Happy to scan anybodies car free in Sydney (in City) however work in Parra Region, just throw me a PM anytime

[High-Fidelity]

Just bought a Micro CAN adapter for VCDS and am happy to scan any compatible cars (MkV+) in Melbourne.

[Greg Roles]

Brisbane genuine VAG com here, but I'm a looooong way from a master of it. Guess I should actually READ the online tutorials....
Happy to help out locals for a picture of your sister in her swimmers.

[Treza360]

I've got a V-Checker if anyone want's a scan on a cruise or at a get together just ask as I keep it in the car.
If anyone wants a scan on a weekend or something shoot me a PM and I'll try my best to help.
As with Cogdoc, I'm definitely no guru with it but I can scan modules and clear fault codes no worries.
Also I'm not after any photos of your sis, mum, nana/grandma, daughter, wife, gf, life partner etc...
Should also add that I don't want any photos of the male opposites of the above either or yourself for that matter (wouldn't put it past Coggie though)... ;)
Cheers,
Trent

EDIT: Just a note/head's up, that as I no longer have the R32, I sold the scanner on, so cannot assist anymore. Cheers.

wat does the vag-com cable do im interested in knowing as i have a MK4 golf generation 2.0L

Its for carrying out diagnostic checks of any ECUs in the car, using the OBD port. www.ross-tech.com is the manufacturer and has loads of info.

It's pretty much the same as the system used by the dealer, to check the car out.

[bert]

Just got my hands on a V-Checker (thanks Fuzion!) - absolutely no idea how to use it yet but if someone wants to help me learn on their car (or mine) then I'm in Glen Iris, Melbourne. Drop me a PM.

[Arctra]

I have a knock-off Micro-CAN VAGCOM cable that works with VCDS in shareware mode. I've tested it on my Tiguan and it'll scan for error codes no problem. Should work with any CANBUS based VW.

If you'd like to test it I am in Panania, Sydney.

[Zano]

Hey, I don't know if anyone has seen this before but there is a VAG-COM "How to" document here http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7410

From a quick scan of that thread it appears that most people use the VAG-COM to change vehicle setup options like head lights and electric window operation. But can anyone give examples of when they have used the VAG-COM to diagnose and fix their poor running engine.

[h100vw]

I have diagnosed bad coil packs and MAFs with mine. There's so much you can do, providing you can interpret the data you can record. The coil pack may throw up a code. The MAF you can pick by looking at the, g/s output. If it is lower than you expect or more often zero, you have a bad one.

For example if the mixture is going weak at the top end, you have to think about the fuel pump.

Gavin

[mr gee]

Mine's a Micro-can
Rowville

[Zano]

OK, so say you have a dud oxygen sensor, will the unit pick this up?
If anyone in Perth has VAG-COM, I'd like to offer a carton of beer if they can demo it to me on my MKIV and show up any errors.
PM me.

[h100vw]

Yeah, if there wasn't a fault logged, you would be able to see the output with measuring blocks and go off that.

Spend a little bit more and get VCDS (vag-com) from Ross-Tech. The advantage is the ongoing support.

I'm keen to know this too, though for a 2010 Tiguan. Not too many people with Vagcom in Perth it seems :-(

[noone]

The ebay cable can work with the 9n / 9n3 polo (including GTI).

Functionality is limited, have not been able to clear codes and needed a little work to get some functionality working.

[robinb]

SAME, Melbourne based also.

Can you Melbourne guys say where you bought yours? I have just installed the Option 3 Bluetooth but can't find anyone with stock of Micro-Can ($320 odd seems about the going price?). Thanks

Edit
Found one OK thanks, SO....Micro-Can available Bayside Melbourne. Inexperienced user! Slab or Red.
ALSO, I have available for sale a China 908 lead with software CD. Received today so right-up-to-date. Brand new and never used. I bought but then discovered that Windows 7 is not yet supported on these leads. Open to offers.

How much does it cost to be shipped here to australia?

Anyone can PM me and let me know how much did VAG-COM cost them?

Thanks!

[robinb]

If you look on the Ross-Tech site you will see that Australian suppliers are listed there. An alternative if you want a on-off fix, is to get someone local (typically a slab is the cost as far as I know).
Watch - I got conned by a price quote on the phone. Then that amount was upped by 10% GST when the card docket came through.


How much does it cost to be shipped here to australia?

Anyone can PM me and let me know how much did VAG-COM cost them?

Thanks!I got mine from Mount Auto Equip
I was quoted $339 + $8 Couriers Please and agreed to debit from credit card. Then they debited $381 ie added GST. This is in direct contavention of Trade Practices Act (by law a quote must include GST). I rang them and they would not refund. Don't touch them with a bargepole!

Quote When a price is stated, the Act requires that the total price to be paid, including GST, is clear to the buyer. If you give the impression that the represented price is the full price due when it is only part of the price, you are likely to contravene the Act. An example of this type of contravention is when the price is represented as the total price payable when it actually excludes GST. Unquote

Hi all,

about to take delivery of a 2010 Polo GTI. Would the unit below be OK to do the required programming when I install a RNS510 and other bits? I'm guessing this is a cheap Chinese rip off of the Ross Tech unit. For $35 shipped it seems worth the risk but any thoughts?

Hi Guys,

Anyone able to assist in translating the coding shown on a few web pages for PTT button on steering wheel for 9w7 bluetooth- dealer doesn't know how to do it and say their system looks different - not used to installing these kits and are pleading ignorant. What do I tell them to change? I see the insturctions - but how does it look or get referenced in their system?

Or failing that - anyone in Canberra want to help me out since its a 5 minute job or days of pain with Lennock Motors?

Thanks in advance...

Hey Guys,
For us 2010-2011 Polo people we need a HEX+CAN interface. I have been trying to use a micro-can with my 2010 Polo GtI 6R and keep on getting error messages(RNS510 and bluetooth kit installed but not coded). Makes sense now.

Has anyone in Brisbane or surrounding areas got a HEX+CAN interface ? I am willing to pay in form of $$$ beer or anything of value for help.

Or has anyone had luck with a micro can??

Cheers and thanks

Can this stuff be used to add a key to the car? My 2001 v6 b5.5 passat only has 1 key. Wanted to get a spare key for it and VW quoted me $600+ !! Rang up a few key cutters / locksmiths, and they either quoted me ~800-900 bucks, or flat out said they couldn't do it. One guy I went to said he couldn't do it because he didn't have the codes for the transponder. Could this 'code' be gotten by using one of these devices?

flat spot / fuel cut under WOT at higher RPMS - want to see if any codes correspond to bad fuel pump or issue with (known) camshaft issue

MK4 GTI, you can't see the AFR/lambda with VCDS, so that's no help to you. You need an external wideband probe to see it.

What's your known camshaft issue?

Is the car chipped or standard?

My advice, based on the snippets of information. Fuel filter, cheap/quick/easy to fit. A new set of sparkplugs, I have fixed a misfire/hesitation with plugs before. This is not the best way to diagnose the problem really.

Gavin

[Jmac]

Known camshaft issue on an AGU?? keen to hear about that one. Fuel cut ?? under WOT, You have a Gti Mk4, im sure itll be boost cut, Check your vac line to your wastegate. Common to turn to sticky goo and stick together and stop the wastegate opening properly, this will over boost and cut the thing big time, seen it lots on the Mk4, been with VW before the internet came about ( sorry had to drop my new line for the google mechanics and in no way aimed at you my friend, just wanted to christen it) but havent seen any cam issus.
Good luck
Jmac

Sorry guys it's a 2006 Mkv gti -
There are "known" issues with the spec A camshaft in the earlier Mkv gti's - mine is one and I have experienced something similar to the symptoms so hence the worry :0)
Just to update I have changed the fuel filter - spark plugs are about 35,000ks old and do need a change. But the car pulls hard 1st / 2nd gear and falls flat at WOT
A scan should help isolate the issue/s
Thanks again , I won't expand upon this as its hijacking this thread !

Now we are talking about the right vehicle... You should log measuring blocks 2 31 99 for fuelling, 3 20 22 for ignition, 3 115 118 for boost, 115 112 and 118 for EGTs and 32 111 at idle to check for intake leaks.

Run the car from 1500 revs in 3rd to the redline if you can.

After a scan I think you'll be much wiser. I am in Sydney next week and might be able to help you, but I have a few others to tune first.

I am pretty sure it's had something else loaded previously. I tell you what, you should try the cruise control and see if it suddenly gets a load of power... Just in case it has APR in there and no one said anything.

looking for somebody in Brisbane who has a cable and can help me code an RNS-510 i've bought to replace the RCD-510 in my MK6 GTI. Wouldn't mind turning on the gauge sweep too while i'm at it. Happy to swap beer or your beverage of choice for you time.

Cheers,

Hi all
Im installing a RCD 510 and 9W7 BT to my 09 TDI Golf today and was wondering if there is anyone willing to code the BT in Brisbane?

Cheers
Dave

[80XIN]

Hey Dave, I would have been happy to help you but I'm based in Perth:(
Thanks mate! Lucky I found someone local, wasn't looking forward to driving all that way for some coding!!

[darrenjc]

Sorry for the NOOB question...but

I want to install an RNS510 and parking sensors. I need this to work with my existing reversing camera in split screen mode. VW quoted me $1200 complete job.

So how does this coding work? Is it a matter of getting a VW cable, PC and some software to tell the ECU to talk to the new accessories? Is this actually writing the code?

Where can I read up on this coding as I would like to learn. I'm sure my IT geek skills can be used for good ;)

[Ozram]

Most people go for the Ross Tech cable as it can cover all of the VAG family.

To find out how it works check here http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/main_screen.html (http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/recode_screen.html)

Parking sensors will mean you have to remove and drill the rear bumper and then run wiring looms inside your car to a controller and the RNS. It can be done DIY but is a few hours work.

Anyone in Melbourne's west able to help with a trouble-code scan? Check engine light just came on...

I'll set the scene: Just did a 4000km roadie which included maybe 7 fill-ups @ 7 different servo's & wasn't able to get 98 at 2 places, so reverted back to my 95 tune for about 1000k's in the middle somewhere. The final leg was from Newcastle to Melbourne in one hit (1100km's in 12 hours, 2 drivers) last Friday, when it was pretty well 38-40 deg C all the way. Also, in Sydney, i filled up when there wasn't much left in the tank, like a 'range' of 20km's, so probably less than 5 litres left...

Any ideas or anyone can help? Car is running fine now on 98 & 98 tune, but starting is a little 'strained', ie, the motor seems to have to turn over for a couple of seconds before it fires up.

:?:

Thanks.

[Martin]

so I can use the foglights as CH/LH lights?

What does this mean mate, I'm lost but get the feeling there is a cool mod here...

[zei20t]

Coming Home/Leaving Home.

To use the fog lights for this function, you need to program the car.

its a good feature IMO!

I had my laptop with me on the cruise, but only had time to do Matti's car. next time ill do some more if anyone wants it done

I've got a genuine Ross Tech Micro-CAN cable in Christchurch NZ, if anyone would like to borrow it. Works perfectly on my other car (a Skoda Octavia Scout), but sadly not on the Polo 6R which only works with the full blown HEX-CAN cable. The genuine Micro-CAN cable is pricey enough, so I don't feel like stumping up another $200-plus for an upgrade. If anyone in my part of the world has the full blown HEX-CAN cable, I'd love to hear from them.

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone could help recode my canbus. Im in melbourne from the northern suburbs. Happy to meet someone that can help. Im suffering from battery drain because i recently installed a rcd510 in my car without updating canbus gateway.
If anyone could help it would be greately appreciated.

[PDW VW]

So far ive had to jump start my car as long as i drive it on a regular basis its fine but its only a temporary fix.

[pinchies]

Need help getting a new key for an older car, or fixing a broken key? I can do immobiliser SKC recovery and key programming for MK4 cars and Passat/New Beetle up to 2005.

Location: north/east melbourne, but can be flexible.
Contact: PM me :javacomputer:

--------------


So far ive had to jump start my car as long as i drive it on a regular basis its fine but its only a temporary fix.

Have you bought a new gateway yet? It sounds like you might need one because of the draining. Part 1k0907530 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/141043661523) (Letter code L or higher) I think for golf. A recode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8sqeYgkvfM) will not fix draining issues, but will still be required.

Unless your current gateway is one of these (http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Navigation_System_(RNS510)_Retrofitting), then you are going to need a new gateway. If yours is listed as updatable on that list, then you could get a dealer or someone with a VAG CAN Pro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4FwRIt9prk) to flash your current canbus gateway, or talk to this guy in adelaide (http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/f164/can-gateway-upgrades-battery-drain-fix-after-rns-rcd-units-install-75217.html).

Hi Guys,

Looking for help to confirm the MAX PSI Boost reading I am getting on my Scirocco R via a Bluetooth OBDLink MX (ScanTool.net LLC - OBDLink MX Scan Tool | OBD Interface | App Accelerator - ScanTool.net (http://www.scantool.net/obdlink-mx.html)) to my Android App.

Currently it is reading 37PSI MAX Boost. This is double what it should be.

In Sydney, Lidcombe area. Happy to drive around where needed :)

Thanks,
MJ

[zei20t]

Is there a setting in the program to halve the reading or read it from a different location? I remember my car has to be read from the diagnostics network, not one of the other two available.

if not, im in Ryde, can check it out for you.

[AdamD]

Currently it is reading 37PSI MAX Boost. This is double what it should be.

Hmm, double. The infotainment bus on many VWs does present boost at half the correct value (http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/f78/auto-polar-fis-advanced-complete-guide-80439-post971604.html#post971604)... I've never heard of double. But at any rate, you can get the accurate values from VCDS.

Since hardly anyone in Perth has any VCDS, I might have to fork out some cash to get one of these. Not sure whether i should get the HEX-USB can or just a micro-can.

After looking at the Ross-Tech site it looks like you need the HEX+CAN cable. Which to be fair is a better cable in a lot of respects. There's nothing it won't work on.

Gavin

[greg32]

Does this work on the latest Polo? I'm in Perth and trying to find someone with a cable to help recode my Polo GTI so that I can remove the bluetooth touch adaptor and install an iphone charger stand.

I thought the Polo needed the HexCan. It would be worth checking the Ross Tech site though. The HexCan will work on most of the VAG cars including the Bugatti if you have one. The MicroCan is limited on the cars it can work on. I had to sell my microcan and buy a HexCan as my wif has a Touareg.

Hi friends,

I´m Sebastian Murillo, a traveller from Chile. I recently bougth a VW GOLF of 2002, with 143.000 km. I really love th VW cars, in fact I have a VW Kombi from 1971 in my country, and it is like part of my family... hehehe. Now I have the following problem, so I really apreciate if one of you could help me.

The GOLF has not enough engine power/performance. Its difficult to gain speed and when is climbing or reverse in a hill i cant do it with out the hand brake (sorry my mistakes in mechanical words but my native lenguage is spanish, so..). I thought maybe the problem was dirty injectors, but i dont think that now, because i added on fuel a injector cleaner and nothing happens. Also, the exhaust gases indicator is turn on permanently. So maybe is the Lamda sensor, but i really dont know. I think i have to do an VAGCOM test.

So anyone here could helpme with this?. I'm a backpacker traveller, so i really don´tn have too much money :/... and when i have to sell it in a few months, i don´t want to sell it with this problem to his next owner. The rest of the car it works amazing, it has a REGO until September.

Thank you very much!

Greetings!

Hi!

I am completely new to this forum, and like most people probably, I got here looking for help with a problem.
As of two days ago my 2011 Golf VI Variant is showing me the yellow engine management / emission control warning light.

I have only recently purchased the car from a dealership here in Sydney and it is still covered under their 3 month after-sales warranty, so I have contacted them and arranged to bring it in for repair next Wednesday. naturally this had to happen just before the long Easter weekend ;)

My problem is that with the warranty period ending in just a few weeks, I would very much like to prevent the dealership from simply resetting/clearing the error codes without rectifying the issue, in case it isn't an urgent problem and would then likely only pop up again as a warning light on the dash, AFTER my warranty period is over.

If I could at least run a VCDS diagnosis beforehand and go to the workshop with the specific fault codes, I would feel a lot safer that the required repairs will indeed have been carried out. Of course I have been holding off on buying a VCDS cable until now that I need it :(

Is there anybody with a Micro-CAN VAGCOM suitable for a 1K Golf in Sydney's Inner West, who would be willing to run a self diagnosis some time over the long weekend for me, in return for a case of brew or some wine?

Many many thanks in advance!

hey bud, I have vcds if you wanna give it a crack. You'll need to know how to drive the software to make the changes as I don't yet know anything beyond the real basics.

Just curious guys can you update firmware/software for the ECU with the cable

I got the engine light coming up its "08213 , P2105, VW GOLF INTAKE MANIFOLD FLAP POSITION SENSOR FAULT IMPROBABLE "

I read somewhere that if you update the software it will fix the bugs and get rid of that reading

Sounds like you need the manifold not an update

Yes I read regarding manifold problems

I have no idle problems I clear the code drive it and sometimes it takes a couple of hours then pops back up

For anyone looking for a GENUINE Ross-tech VAGCOM/VCDS on the cheap side AND don't need the latest updates then check this out from Bryon Bay based tuning software company "Total Car Diagnostics"

VAG-COM VCDS 2015 - OBD2 Diagnostic Cable & Software (for VAG Cars: VW, AUDI, SEAT, SKODA) (http://www.totalcardiagnostics.com/shop/car-diagnostic-tools/vag/vagcom-rosstech-vcds)

I bought the above for $67US and can confirm that it does work with my MKIV Bora 4mo. The Ross-tech cable & VCDS software has NOT been barred but is working as it should.

This is a legit cable and legit VCDS version that is LIMITED to only Version 12.2 and cannot be upgraded. If you need VCDS Version 14, you can pay an extra $30US.

Fantastic saving compared to the $500 cost to buy a VCDS cable from Ross-tech direct. Comes with a 1 year money-back guarantee from an Australian based company.

Bloody brilliant.

[abzonline]

Why will you need the update if it has the same access to different functions of the vehicle?

Is the update for later vehicles ?

I have a golf GTI mk6 will I need the updated vcds 14 version ?

[abzonline]

I forgot to mention are these one if the cables that you can't be on the internet while running it

Hey guys, i have vag com cable if anyone needs to scan their car. I am based in North Melbourne area.

If it sounds too good to be true and all that...

The Ross Tech cables have a chip with built in serial number that "unlocks" the software to do all the things. The other hack versions of the cable run the older software that doesn't need the chip and even then only offer limited functionality. These sound like a more up to date version of a clone, which to me still sounds dodgy as all hell unless they have some agreement with Ross-Tech. After all, you're paying for the ongoing R&D on the software, not just the piece of physical cable.

I bought the same cable with VCDS 14.10 from total car diagnostics, it works like a charm, but it cost me US$ 97... I don't think it is a genuine Ross-Tech cable, the seller says that as well, but it is top quality and the software is activated (I believe the software is not cracked)
By the way, if anyone one needs a scan in Sydney North Shore, happy to provide that for free... I have zero coding experience though :)

[snerlo]

I come from Byron and it is interesting to hear about this mob. I am really interested in buying a VCDS cable and this is tempting. I do have something in the back of my head though going why is it cheap? I would even get the version 14 upgrade but does that then lock me into that version for the rest of my life? Or is there continual updates that you can buy? Very interesting though, and tempting.

[The_Hawk]

It might work but that doesn't make it legit, yes the Ross-Tech one is expensive, but it's constantly updated and supported by the company.

To be fair normal users don't need a fully featured cable, one of those $100 plug in generic scanners probably do enough to read/reset a code. For those little tweaks you want to do it's probably far more cost effective to bail someone up to do what are one off changes since you're not likely to use it much after that. (but then I suppose we enthusiasts aren't exactly "normal" users :P)

RubAVeeDubDub: I've had a good look at the website and Total Car Diagnostic's actual wording is very carefully crafted! I've also sought advice about this (dubious company claim) on the Ross Tech forum

Ain't nothing "Bloody Brilliant" at all about the Total Car Diagnostic's cables mentioned in this thread - because they are entirely bogus. Sure the associated software for the cable is GENUINE, but Total Car Diagnostics have simply downloaded Ross-Tech's original software(now obsolete) and applied it to fake hardware (which they claim is "third party" if you read the fine-print) for which there is no license.

Fact is that both the ver 12 and ver 14 cables are complete fakes (as suspected by the Hawk). They are both rip-offs of the Genuine version cables and Total Car Diagnostics is on Ross-Tech's "naughty list" for possible further action (I believe).

Entirely up to you (assuming that you don't have any affiliation with Total Car Diagnostics), but those purchasing these cables simply condone the theft of Uwe Ross's Intellectual Property (and don't be fooled by the notion that the buyer is somehow removed from the act of thieving because he/she are just the buyer).


I bought the same cable with VCDS 14.10 from total car diagnostics, it works like a charm, but it cost me US$ 97... I don't think it is a genuine Ross-Tech cable, the seller says that as well, but it is top quality and the software is activated (I believe the software is not cracked)


Vexed: I'm not repentant in saying that I have never understood the morality of buyer's who simply ignore IP theft by prostituting their values for the sake of saving a few bucks - makes me so angry when a relatively small company like Ross Tech has built-up such a good product and a reputation for quality over many years, only to have poachers like Total Car Diagnostics trash Uwe Ross's efforts !!

The despicable actions of companies like Total Car Diagnostics only succeed because there are buyers who are willing to participate in the malfeasants!

Here endeth the tirade - but it needed to be said (I think)!

Don
PS: I'm more than happy to debate the merits of buying these (fake) cables with forum colleagues who have knowingly made the dubious decision to purchase them - but let's do it here in public and not by PM (as some have done in the past)

Hi,

Anyone near The Hills area in Sydney have a VAGCOM cable I could utilise? I would like to do a quick code scan, allow VIM, adjust DRL levels (is that possible?) and whatever else may be useful in everyday use. Happy to pay for your time and effort or bring you a 6 pack if you prefer it that way.

Ta.

Hi there,


I bought a 2012 Audi Q5 2.0 TDI and after a long drive the 'Emission warning light' is constantly glowing, the performance of the car has not compromised despite of the warning light. I will be very happy if someone is able to help me scan the error codes as i dont have the necessary cables to do so.
I live in Merrylands very close to parramatta, happy to discuss and compensate for your time.

thanks,
