Hi all! I'm looking to buy a diagnostic tool that can reset lights and service needs (incl oil change) and also provides live data (looking for intake temperature for example). Are there any cheap tools that you all would recommend? Ideally <$100

I recently replaced the front pipe (also called an "intermediate" pipe or flex pipe) on my 1.8T exhaust. To do that I had to remove the catalytic converter. While I had it out I thought it would be a good time to recoat the o2 sensors with antiseize since they're the original sensors 15+ years...

2000 Passat Wagon 6 cylinder tiptronic, 114,000 miles. Car won't lock with fob and even with key-in-door occasionally won't activate alarm. This has been an issue for over a year. Yesterday's morning compute ended before it started when the car would not. Would not turn over, no noise...

So last weekend I got a CEL P0706 Transmission Range Sensor. Then today I went to the auto parts store and got it checked again and it was P0741 torque converter clutch circuit performance/ stuck off. Curious what could be going on car drives and shifts fine with no issues. Any ideas?

Ok, turned ignition on, display on dashboard was made up of odd lines instead of coherent symbols (mileage clock etc.). The only light that came on was the traction control. Fuel and temp display not working either. Turned car over, it stops after a couple of seconds (immobilizer issue?)...

My 99 V6 Passat (B5, AHA engine) went from running fine to not starting overnight. I've found: VCDS says it's cranking at 280 rpm which also rules out the engine speed sensor, but I checked that with a multimeter per Bentley to be sure. Throttle body is adapted VCDS shows no engine faults...

I recently purchased a 5.5B Passat. The A/C and Heat do not work and I am attempting to fix it. I have a manual climate control setup. I have searched posts and many have been helpful in explaining certain problems with the A/C, however none of them seem to account for a situation where the...

Forum member RichardSEL was kind enough to send me a Word file he has containing a comprehensive list of the readouts available in the Climatronic unit's Diagnostic Mode. It's a great resource that I thought would be most helpful as a post in the forums. I posted it in the B6 forum on VWVortex...

Hey all, I stumbled upon a diagnostic tool that I got as a present a while ago but didn't need since I had VCDS. This is brand new, opened once so I could pretend I was excited. This is no VCDS, but this is definitely a good scanner to keep in your glovebox for quick code reading/clearing when...

There was a puddle of coolant on my garage floor, and the reservoir was empty. So I thought, maybe it's leaking? Jokes aside, I put the car over my pit and unscrewed the belly pan. This is the general area where it's all going down: So, getting up closer, this is what you see: Even closer...
