Default Just got my VAG-COM........

No codes/faults, so that's a good start. I'm a complete n00b with this device so any advice is appreciated from those more experienced users. Currently I am printing out the user manual from Ross-Tech and will review it over the next couple of nights. Also I will STFA when I get a chance. Can anyone direct me to any good links or sites for me to educate myself on my newest toy? TIA

Default Actually the VAG-COM site is good. Also, I'd suggest that you

do all the "basic" logging that everyone seems to do;
Block 003, MAF in g/s &amp; ignition timing, see if your MAF sensor is good etc., accel through the gears WOT
Block 115, Expected vs Actual boost, check BPVs, etc., accel through the gears WOT
Block 211, Expected vs actual MAF g/s, check MAF sensor, accel through the gears

That's a start. Then browse the other blocks for things of interest to you.

BTW: I think getting everyones input on the list and then writing it up would be great. If anyone adds to it, make sure to include:
Block #, parameter, diagnostic use/purpose, and how to (3rd gear pull, through the gears WOT, etc.)

Cheers
