I'm throwing a p1297 code. Connection turbocharger - throttle valve pressure hose...What is this?

Except you don't have a turbo. That's why I told you you need to get VAG codes.

Aside from the service manual (that I really need to get), how do I get VAG codes? What I mean is, do you go about getting VAG codes differenty than getting p codes?

Vag-Com software.

Vag-Com software? Do I take it to a technician, dealership...or what? A technician gave me the p code, so I'm assuming that the same garage cannot give me the Vag code...right?

software on the computer communicates with the modules in the car.

Do you mean for personal use, or where can you get your car scanned with Vag?

Okay, got it. After looking that the site, I understand it more. This Vag-Com software/interface is interesting, but if I don't feel like dropping hundreds of bucks buying it right now, are there any alternatives?

Otherwise, OBDTool.com's device that I use it quite nice and works well if you have an old school serial port. $100 for the full version of VAG-COM.
