Vagcom Anybody Please..

[swifty]

Hi all I have today been out and replaced the aux heater glowplug. I think it now needs resetting of the codes. Is there anyone

that could do this for me in exchange for some beer tokens or hot chocolate tokens..Im in harrow middlesex area Im quite happy to travel out to where you may be..

Thanks in advance

See my thread earlier this afternnon - it seems any of the cables on ebay for about 12 quid all in will work with the shareware version of vag.com.

 

I'm ordering a cable today - I'm near Potters Bar so quite close to you - but for the sake iof 12 quid, if it works is a bargain. You'd be welcome to try mine when I get it.

 

I'll let you know how I get on although it won't be delivered before the weekend if not next week i'd expect.

looks ok - although until i get mine and try it out i cant be absolutely sure. however, it's not a great amount of money, even if it works only once it would save money on garage bills

I'd give it a go :D

Thats the same as my lead, works fine and you can access the Aux Heater, I have the same job to do (reports glowplug open circuit).

 

Use VagCom Ver 3 or 4, BigKev checked mine out first that gave me the nudge to try my lead and get the software etc.

I now have lead and have have downloaded ver 409.1 and as im running win vista it told it might work with ver 311.2. Plugged into car and it

began giving me fault codes, windows then shut the programme down and now i cant do anything with either version. If poss could someone pm

me their no so can speak with about the probs I think it may be easier....

Have you rebooted the PC?

Try another USB port after reboot, you may have to change the port in the software if it loads.

My first go at using vag.com resulted in one code being read then Windows closing the program down. I was using Vista

 

Tried on a XP PC and everything worked fine.

Try right clicking and choosing "Run as Administrator" under Vista, otherwise you can always try run it in XP Compatibility mode as summarised here http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vis...atibility-mode/
