Hello, I've just got a quick question. I'm looking to replace a rear wheel bearing, and was wondering if vcds is needed for the electric parking break to just to the bearing. I'm not doing any brake work, so it would just be the caliper being removed from the rotor. I hope I explained the...

Hi, i have had the above fault happen twice now. First time towing a caravan uphill and the second on cruising on the motorway. Events were approx 1 month apart. Both times resulted in limp mode and glow plug flashing. And fault can be cleared by turning engine off then on again. Is this a...

Hey guys! I just randomly got an OBDEleven Pro (the next gen version) as a birthday gift. I'm about to go on a trip and I'm not going to use it for at least the next month, which means, I need to decided whether or not I'm keeping it. I read a little bit about it and it seems to be extremely...

Hello all you helpful folk! I recently posted about saving an 07 wagon from the grasp of the crusher. So far I've had great luck slowly getting it back on the road. I have a few things left, like an exhaust, a lower control arm in the rear, the unlock button doesn't work on the fob, and a few...

I saved a wagon (2007 Passat) from the crusher recently, or at least I hope I have. She's got about 150k miles on the clock, 2.0 automatic. The car is in really great shape, but that's all I know about it. Here's the dilemma. The reason the previous owner was sending her to scrap was because...

I downloaded a file from Ross-Tech that explains how to install a USB driver that possible would work on my PC. (I misplaced the small disk that came with the KKL connector and ordered one but will take time) Does any one have a driver that I could have or point to what mistake I am making when...

Sometimes when reading stuff I come across those terms, any suggestion?

What measuring blocks does VAGcom VCDS provide for checking/verifying the timing on the BPY engine? for the old 1.8T and 2.7T, I used blocks 090-093. I would assume similar data is available for the 2.0T? What ARE the values/ranges to correct timing of the BPY engine?

Finally got my cable in the mail and did my first scan today and had some questions. I was bidding on a KII RossTech last night on ebay but I lost it with about 3 seconds left, so if any of you won it, Touche. ---- Address 03: ABS Brakes Labels: 8E0-614-111-ASR.LBL Controller: 3B0 614 111...

I am new to Passats but have been wrenching on my own 2000 Jetta TDI for 11 years. I have Vag-Com and a lot of the specialized tools if anyone needs a hand. I just bought a 126k mile 2004 Passat 2.8 4Motion wagon, will be doing a timing belt on it soon, and am now trying to chase down...

I just bought this car, a 2003, and only received one key. Anyone in the area willing to meet up? I'll need to get a key programmed, change a couple features, and read/clear the brake light code. Let me know what you'd need, any help is appreciated.

I am trying to make a bench test to run VCDS software and test a Passat instrument cluster while it is out of the car. I used the pinout specs below and the cluster powers up just fine but when I try to run the Instruments test I get an error message saying No Response From Controller. Any...

So as I am starting to get back in to the VW world I pulled out my VAGCOM/VCDS tough book and fired it up only to get the blue screen of death. Having a tablet that I'd much rather use, I saw that VCDS had an APP. My question is has anyone used it and what were your thoughts?
