Danny, I recently looked into this also, and after posting a similar question here I purchased the VAG-COM compatible cable below. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-Vag-Com-Compatib...1QQcmdZViewItem I have nothing to do with this seller, other than being a happy customer. I then downloaded the drivers for the cable from the site below for the cable. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/alpha-bid/Manuals...-Downloads.html This presents to the Windows system as another Com Port (COM4 on my system) Then downloaded the VAG-COM 409.1 from Ross-tech.net (Free version, some limited functionality) http://www.ross-tech.net/vag-com/download/...lease4091us.exe installed and choose the serial port as specified above. (after connecting to Galaxy Diag Port first) From then I followed the online manual from VAG-COM to learn how to use it. http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/tour/main_screen.html I'll probably register VAG-COM soon as I'd like to dabble with the full functionality, but for what I needed to use it for initially it worked perfectly (Testing MAF). Hope that helps, there are lots of other cables available on Ebay as well as one from ROSS-TECH itself, but I chose this one because it was cheap ! and another user on here had also purchased the same cable.

It would be great if you did a photo journal of how to do this, as i'd give it a go! Where did you buy the Rover sensors? scrap yard or direct? D.

Thanks for the offer RichyRich, however it is just one of the sensors on the rear bumper which is faulty. Think I'll have to bite the bullet and head to Ford :huh: D.

Thanks thats exactly what i wanted to hear :P Ordered one up and await it's arrival :D Thanks Shmern

Bad form repling to your own message :( , however this appears to be a cheaper USB VAG-COM cable http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-Vag-Com-Compatib...1QQcmdZViewItem Is it compatible? Shmern

Hi all, Im interested in getting VAG-COM to help with the upkeep of the Galaxy, as I have a low power problem at the moment, Garage is telling me the computer is telling them Temp Sensor and Throttle position sensor. However after investigating here it looks almost exactly like a faulty MAF. Anyway thats the reason I'd like access to VAG-COM, so looking at EBAY to find a cable compatible with the Galaxy, Is this the correct cable? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-VAG-COM-409-COMP...1QQcmdZViewItem I intend to play with 409 from ROSSTECH and if all works well, then registering 409 to open the full features. Is that all I need (apart from a laptop, no problem as I work in IT ) to use VAG-COM then ? Shmern

I have indeed, but have not found specific Galaxy/Sharan/Alambra parking sensors, but others that look similar, but I'm not sure they will fit! for example, these look similar! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-GENUINE-PARKING-...1QQcmdZViewItem No one around here know of anywhere/anyone else that sells these sensors? just need the one. D.

Hi all, Just found these forums after purchasing an 01 1.9TDI Zetec 115 Galaxy. Excellent forums, found out LOTS of stuff, including the Easy Parking sensor check which allowed me to identify which of the sensors were faulty. Now I just have to find a cheap source for the sensor itself. Shmern
