You get what you pay for

these generic code readers will only pull and erase fault codes (if they work at all). They will not read valuable measuring blocks which one needs to diagnose the problems your fault code reveals. They will not be able to code control modules, perform readiness code tests, output tests, or actually give the code definitions.

There is only one solution that does all this. And beware of the cheap Ebay cables. I bought one and it did not work. Only one solution has worked right out of the package for me and enabled me to do everything I want.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ross-tech.com">Ross Tech Vag Com</a></li></ul>
