Always always always do an auto scan first, before changing any coding. Take the text file it creates and save it in a safe place. More than once I've been happy to have that log to refer to!
What is really cool about vag-com also is when your looking at a data value, say your looking at your short term fuel trim, if you hover your cursor over it, it will not only tell you your current trim, but also what the manufacture specs are and what range it's sopposed to be between. Very helpful for diagnosis when you chasing a sensor or something and you are not sure if it's spec value.
I did well using a programmer called VagPro ($99 USD) when I needed new key immobilizers programmed for my 02 Audi A4 B6. ;) It also has other tools like OBDII scanner, oil interval reset or change interval miles, and diagnostics to go into other sub systems. It has a feature that allowed me to change the values on how my fuel level sensor reads since it is off.
I've been using VCDS since 2002. It's been great to watch it grow over the years. Uwe and the team consistently do a great job of improving the software. I use a 10" touchscreen Windows tablet for VCDS, and everything else, it's my most used tool.
Good video It would be much clearer if the back ground music is turned off. I need all the help i can get working on this stuff at 75 years old and the extra noise don't work for me! Thanks
I print my short log for warranty and grab my laptop. Guided functions are a good help till you learn how to do it w VCDS. ODIS can be very slow and not so user friendly at times. Great tool and the guys at Ross-Tech are awesome! Big time saver doing a fuel filter on a CR!
Hi i have PROBLEM not work CAN, i don’t no but ENGINE work the led is green, cable is HEX+CAN Ross-Tech, can not get in (Central.Elect.09) but in (Central Conv.46) yes can. I installed the driver, all working the only thing, I can not get in Central Elect. Someone has resolved this problem ? My car is Passat b5 2003... Can someone help me ? Thank!!!!
My first car was a 1970 Fastback and I have been driving VWs exclusively since 1983. One could divide VWs between air and water cooled, but I divide them into can or can't be VAGCOMed. It changed working on VWs from an art of experience to a science. I got one long ago to debug problems with my Corrado and have used it on many VW/Audis since. It cannot be understated the importance of being told what to fix. Non-professionals can't work on today's VWs without one. Now the downside. My VAGCOM cable is so old it uses a serial, not a USB connection. I no longer have a portable computer with a serial connection and don't like hauling a computer to be near the vehicle for testing, and then hauling it back. I went to the Ross-Tech site and there are now a million choices. But it basically comes down to you barely get any discount for upgrading (requiring you to send back your old cable) so you might as well buy a new one and have a backup. Plus it used to be you could test as many cars as you want, now you have to pay extra for that! So I ordered a very inexpensive USB to serial converter off Amazon and my old serial VAGCOM cable appears to work fine with my USB only notebook computer.
Nice product! I can absolutely see how this is a must have for anyone that works on VWs. Also, you're killing me with the King of the Hill references in the credits haha!

hi I have 2000 jetta 2.0 please can you show hoe to use the vcds on the jetta for transmission fluid change and how to use it. and also how to reset the butterfly with the vcds. thanks
+farid sarradian If the butterfly you are talking about is the throttle body, you will want to go in to engine electronics, go to basic settings, then go to 60. That will reset the Throttle body. For the transmission, you need to go into Transmission, then go to one of the lower measured values, I forget what number. You are looking for a temperature. That is transmission temp.
Can you use this thing and the information to figure out issues that have not cause a check light? Ive got rough idle and little ticks i would like to figure out, but have not popped a cel. Thanks
SO i have a audi Q5 2015 and im not looking to put down a business or something like that i just want to save me money doing the oil change myself however while i can reset the oil change interval i can't make the phrase SERVICE DUE ! go away what i need to do to reset this warning.

Can I use this to clear the dash error on vw and audi cars? The problem is the dash error in mk7 golf after installing led bulbs in fogs and high beams. Also error in an audi a4.
Does vag-com have a home mechanic version? Cable come with it? It would have been nice to see a "what's in the box" and know what is required to run this stuff. Is there are other alternatives, rather than $350.
Very helpful indeed!!. Thank you for your fast response.. I just spent $250 scan tool to reset the check engine light. My ABS is not communicating and a lot of lights are on in the dash board. Any suggestions to this very expensive repair?.

I have a 2005 audi a6 with a damaged steering column (car is practically dead). Can I install a used one and flash the ECU in order for it to recognize the replacement part? I´m currently looking for an alternative since the local dealer is charging 2000usd to order and program a new one. They say that it has to be a new one since they need access to audi servers in germany in order to program it.
I heard what you said what they cost. I want to change my timing belt on a 2001 Golf 1.9 TDI but will need something to adjust the pump timing. What is the difference between the one you have and what is available on Ebay or Amazon for only a few dollars?

What does the electrical fuel pump percentage actually mean? I have a P310B code and in Measuring Blocks, Group 106, the electrical pump percentage is about 76% ... My understanding is it is supposed to be about 50%. It should be the correct fuel filter; 4F0201511C Mann OEM - Fuel Filter; With Pressure Regulator Connection. New filter several months ago. 2006 Audi Quattro A4 B7 2.0 base, stock. After a lot of searching, appears it could be a failing electric fuel pump. Is there a way to test it separately? Have you heard of the Mann fuel filters being defective?
Hey can you answer me this please. i was doing coding and programming with a snap on machine and now my rear boot lid dont work i check all the wiring to the module its not the wiring or parts at fault i need to tell the system the rear boot lid is fitted because when i do some check it say rear lid not fitted any help will do thanks.

HumbleMechanic I have 4 VW's and VCDS lite It does pretty much everything I have needed so far, but my latest acquisition is a '10 Passat. Would you recommend that the amateur mechanic upgrade to the full version to access more functions on late model VW's?
Hi, I have an 09 VW EOS. It runs fine but I have two different issues with it. One is the top doesn't operate the other is dealer pulled the code 1276 which is ABS related. Can VCDS pinpoint the problem and narrow down all the possibilities? I guess this is an online diagnostics so I need a laptop and wifi? Is that right? My laptop is HP Google Chrome. Would that work? Thanks
When I buy this is there a monthly subscription or do I own it once i have paid it. also is it for unlimited cars or do i have to pay for each extra car i need to do?
About long coding, save or print it before you change it. That way if you end up with a car that is doing all sorts of bizarre things you might be able to undo that.
I own a 2014 Touareg and are looking for a SCAN tool for general maintenance, ie reset service light, run fuel pumps after changing diesel fuel filter, replacement battery adaption etc, nothing to radical, just for casual use. I am considering VCDS or OBDeleven? What would you recommend? Which is more user friendly etc? I would go straight for the VCDS but it is quite a bit more expensive when buying from Australia? PS Great work on your Videos! Thanks

close to a factory scan tool, interesting stuff Charles. 👍
We got the lite 1.2 version really work's researching way to use it.

Trying to get a 2007 Jetta to pass emissions. The EVAP primary and secondary won't reset, they said incomplete. The car has been driven 3-4 hundred miles still no reset. Any ideas. I change the PVC diaphragm and the Purge Solenoid no help. Thanks
That gen VW is a PAIN To set readiness on. Try letting it idle for about 10 minutes and see if that helps.
Thanks, I'll give it a try. Forgot to mention, I changed the gas cap as well.
How can you tell if the EVAP leak detection pump is working? I did smoke test at idle and it leak at the filter, when taped off no leak in that area. Can it be done with a volt meter? Thanks
Hello! i have a Volkswagen golf 4, and i don't know what i have done with one vag can software vwtool. now i cant close the doors only can open them. the immobilizer sign is on and the car is starting without immobilizer. can you help me? Im using this software VAG-K_CAN_Commander_1[X].4
I got the same codes on my 2000 passat 2.8 with the exception of missfiring in cylinders 456. I dont have the VGA tool but would like to know what your findings were for the codes if its okay?
Nice video,. Any hints on how to zero in multiple malfunctions? like ABS/ESP/TPMS and traction control lights.. Something triggered faults all the way from day time runing lights to door handle sensor to abs hydraulic pump.. thanks
I'm still trying to figure out how you diagnosed a wheel bearing problem with vagcom?! I'm in a 16' Jetta and need to know! 😭 🤘
+AcidBurn graphing wheel speed.
Bad bearing symptoms include a weird clicking sound coming from the bearing, vibration, any kind of play or wiggle in the hub.
Can the VCDS cable recode a 2003 Jetta for a transmission swap from auto to manual? If so how? Dealer was no help and charged $180. Thanks Mary V.
+Mary Viscio no. This is an aftermarket tuning solution. Contact Ian from reflect tuning.
HI...how can you help on the vcds,i programme car keys but i am loosing clients on VW keys cant make a spare key on vw any help on the way foward,have SKP900,TANGO,T300 ETC
What would be the advantage of getting more vin capacity
More cars you can do adaptation on
So the more vin capacity the more types of cars u can work on
I’m only going to use it on my cars
humble mechanic - how can you program a steering column on a 2006 VW Passat? or Programming tool for it? Thinking of hacking the system.
OEM scanner or the clone OEM scanner
what name of OEM scanners? Sometimes a clone scanner doesn't work great. Vcds can't do it for car years - 2006 and up.
Can this software shut off parking lights and city lights on an Audi A4 B7?
Probably. But I’ve never personally done it
would this detect an issue with my backup camera and park assist on a 2010 cc vr6 4motion? mine has stoppped functioning.
Does any cable work with vcds?
Or i need to buy one from vcds so it works?
buy the official VCDS one
@@HumbleMechanic have you got a link to buy one
I want to install a 510 stereo in place of the 310 and add a back up camera. Will the Shareware version of VCDS support doing that, or do I need a registered version?
hello i have a polo 6R model , how can i come in the section accu registration select , 61 accuregistration, wen i slect it i dont can select 10 , i think that my batterij code is not good in the program wen the dealer repairs the car in the garage , now if the car is not driving for 2 or 3 days the batterij is down. greetings
I have a 2005 audi a6 with a damaged steering column (car is practically dead). Can I install a used one and flash the ECU in order for it to recognize the replacement part? I´m currently looking for an alternative since the local dealer is charging 2000usd to order and program a new one. They say that it has to be a new one since they need access to audi servers in germany in order to program it.
I heard what you said what they cost. I want to change my timing belt on a 2001 Golf 1.9 TDI but will need something to adjust the pump timing. What is the difference between the one you have and what is available on Ebay or Amazon for only a few dollars?
What would I need .... I have the old 2x2 in my corrado also I only have a next book has the mini USB. Is it possible are should I upgrade to something with a real usb .
I’m in the stages of deleting my egr on my TDI which will set off the check engine light. Will this device work out for completely getting rid of my check engine light permanently.?
No the software needs to be changed.
HumbleMechanic how do I go about doing that? Can I do this myself?
Any knowledge on how this compares to the snap on scanners ...ur thoughts?
When I was a vw tech it was the 1551 and 5051
can you troubleshoot/ enable/ disable evap components with this? I have been fighting a P0445 for a month now. 04 jetta 2.0 BEV
routt ookc Trouble shoot, YES! Disable evap, no. That has to be done with an ECM tune.
+HumbleMechanic thanks for the input. will look into that.
Hi there, I don't know if the vcds can help me. My Mk6 has 3 amber warning lights coming out at the same time: esp, abs and power steering. I got the battery checked and it doesn't look like the problem comes from there. Wld the vcds help me troubleshoot the issue?
I read so many different possible causes: earthing points, traction control sensors, abs cable...
I wld appreciate any input. Thanks!
It will give you the information you need to start the diagnostic process.
+HumbleMechanic well, if it saves me the headache of guessing where the problem comes from it is worth I look more into vcds then! :)
Now this will only give you information. You still have to evaluate and test systems based on the info you get
I have Audi A4 b6 1.8t amb but this engine have po171 code and few days before I was running highway then the car is shaking crazy and engine check is flashing I check the ignition system and it’s good,but my car is still misfiring,please help me
Hey Charles, got a question regarding VAGCOM. Is it possible to turn the Diesel Particle Filter additive tank Injector/Pump on using VAGCOM on my 2005 B5 Passat?
This is pretty cool. Would it be worth it for a weekend warrior? What years does this program go up to?
it works with anything 1995 and up. but it really shines on 2005.5 and 2006 up cars.
I have a 2007 VW Passat wagon turbo and am interested in getting a Vag-Com to DX the car myself but am not having luck finding one that will work with my car. I have gotten on various searches looking for one and am just confused! Any help is much appreciated!
Also, when I finally get this proper cable is the software loaded automatically or does it come with drivers to load to my laptop?
***** go to this site store.ross-tech.com/shop/cat/VCDS.html
I would recommend this one VCDS License with HEX-USB+CAN Unlimted VIN (All VAG) $349.00 In Stock
You install the software and with the cable unlock the full version.
Hello there, very useful video, thanks.
I am doing an engine conversion, so I have an vw ahu tdi sharan engine, but don't have the vin number or ecu or key!!
My 2 question are these;
1/ can I simply buy a new ecu, new ignition barrel and key, connect them all and expect the engine to run????
and
2/ Once all parts connected can I run vagcom and diagnose/fix faults?
Thank youoooooooooo x
Why would my dash show a pic of a fuel pump on a 2013 Jetta TDI?
I have the p2101 code for throttle body on my 09 vw cc 2.0t. if i take it off and clean it or replace the throttle body in general which vag com should i buy so i can reprogram it. I have read that i will need to set it to 63 or something. need more info please. thanks
which version of VCDS do i need for a 2002 audi tt? The newer versions cost more, but do they give more features for this old of a car?
What does the electrical fuel pump percentage actually mean? I have a P310B code and in Measuring Blocks, Group 106, the electrical pump percentage is about 76% ... My understanding is it is supposed to be about 50%.
It should be the correct fuel filter; 4F0201511C Mann OEM - Fuel Filter; With Pressure Regulator Connection. New filter several months ago. 2006 Audi Quattro A4 B7 2.0 base, stock.
After a lot of searching, appears it could be a failing electric fuel pump. Is there a way to test it separately?
Have you heard of the Mann fuel filters being defective?
can VAG COM make used modules work? is that what coding and basic settings is?
Hey can you answer me this please. i was doing coding and programming with a snap on machine and now my rear boot lid dont work i check all the wiring to the module its not the wiring or parts at fault i need to tell the system the rear boot lid is fitted because when i do some check it say rear lid not fitted any help will do thanks.
Can vag com do bi-directional controls? Thanks in advance!!
You bet it can. And it does it very well
+HumbleMechanic I'm sold! Lol. Thanks for the quick response! As of now, I'm not working on Vw's or Audi. But I have a growing itch. Thanks again!
HI.Love you shows, i check almost everything. the vag obd2 usb kkl com 409.1 usb cable. will the vag com lite software be able to calibrate 2002 jetta tdi fual pump after major services and alse clear some rror codes like airbag light?
Hey mate I changed my front seats in my golf they don't have airbags will this tool turn the front two airbags off?
I don't think it will. But I have not tried to code out that stuff. I don't like messing with airbag coding LOL
@humblemechanic where is the best place to buy vagcom I'm new to vw and Audi
Ross-tech.com. Right from the source
@@HumbleMechanic ok thanks you have a great and knowledgeable channel
Can I do the needle sweep/dash celebration with this because my obdelven won't do it on my 2010
No, that requires a different software
how much is the vagcom?
The full version that doesn't limit VINs was about $350
store.ross-tech.com/shop/cat/VCDS.html
HumbleMechanic I have 4 VW's and VCDS lite
It does pretty much everything I have needed so far, but my latest acquisition is a '10 Passat.
Would you recommend that the amateur mechanic upgrade to the full version to access more functions on late model VW's?
Would a career certificate in automotive repair get me into a dealer?
VWGTI poo
Hi, I have an 09 VW EOS. It runs fine but I have two different issues with it. One is the top doesn't operate the other is dealer pulled the code 1276 which is ABS related. Can VCDS pinpoint the problem and narrow down all the possibilities? I guess this is an online diagnostics so I need a laptop and wifi? Is that right? My laptop is HP Google Chrome. Would that work? Thanks
Hi , thanks for the video , very nice , which one is the factory tool ?
The factory tool is called ODIS
does the obd 2 scanner via bluetuth like the cheap ones mini version can do a throttle adjustment to the factori settings?
When I buy this is there a monthly subscription or do I own it once i have paid it. also is it for unlimited cars or do i have to pay for each extra car i need to do?
If you buy the version that costs about $350 it's unlimited VINs and only a one time charge. Well worth the money in my opinion b
whats the difference between using a vag-com or an OBD2 / OBDeleven?
About long coding, save or print it before you change it. That way if you end up with a car that is doing all sorts of bizarre things you might be able to undo that.
Always!!!
Would I be able to run Vagcom, the HEX-V2 Enthusiast USB interface, on a Samsung Tablet? I have a 98 Audi A4 B5 that's giving me some issues...
Hy can i turn on "mirror down" in Vag-Com Golf 4 2003?
Hey, brother, any clue on who offers valuable service information? You know, like Alldata but for the Euros? Thanks in advance!
I own a 2014 Touareg and are looking for a SCAN tool for general maintenance, ie reset service light, run fuel pumps after changing diesel fuel filter, replacement battery adaption etc, nothing to radical, just for casual use. I am considering VCDS or OBDeleven? What would you recommend? Which is more user friendly etc? I would go straight for the VCDS but it is quite a bit more expensive when buying from Australia?
PS Great work on your Videos! Thanks
For what you are doing, OBDeleven is probably fine. VCDS is a far better tool in every way. But most people will never use the full function of VCDS.
Where can I find a list of the group numbers and what each group number deals with. I 'm assuming that its on the wiki page but for the life of me ... Cheers
