PetrolDave Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 It reads and clears some (not all) fault codes on some (not all) controllers - that's all. If you want to change coding or adaptation channel values, then you need VCDS (VAG-COM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E51 NGH Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi PetrolDave, thanks for the advice...I went for this in the end... https://www.amazon.co.uk/OBD-2-CAN-BUS-CODE-SCANNER-SKODA/dp/B001C9V89A/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1300747312&sr=8-15 had a £15 gift voucher which I finally used, so worst case it is a £10 mistake. I never plan on changing codes or messing with values. Just want it to try find a code, see if it something i can fix...and clear fault codes. So hopefully does the job...reading reviews on amazon should do what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
