Paul1982 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Sounds like a good system and a great price - i'd personally buy one in a second if it works on my 1995 Highline. If i am correct the 1995 model have the newer ODB2 socket in the dash even though it has a ODB1 system as it was the change over year.My mechanic has one (not this make) that has different leads for all car makes and he charges £15 just to plug it in lol Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 By the way it says 1996-2006 so email them and make sure it'll work for your car first!! Link to post Share on other sites
kalv 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I bought a Fault Code reader from Germany for £30 I think... it's an OBD2 one.. great peice of kit.. check ebay in germany and search for OBD2 or fault code reader... Link to post Share on other sites
Paul1982 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 So what do you need to upload info into the ECU - Basically the lad i use all the time had one of these and it was connected to his laptop - and he would save what you had already (Just incase something went wrong) and upload the new software into the ECU (Remapping it). Half hour job that people pay £££'s for ;-) - I WANT 1 :-) Link to post Share on other sites

purple highline monster 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 my mate got one from honk kong through Ebay for £25 !!! it works a treat and you get the code book and all the bumph with it, works on G60 corado and golfs aswell as the VR6 engined ones, he checked mine the other day and the only fault was low voltage to the airbags....thats coz they are both disconected with the in line resistors but at least its good enough to sense even that minor thing Link to post Share on other sites

Earwig 89 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Or you can get the Proper lead from Ebay, connect it to the PC and "Obtain" the proper VAGCOM software.The leads are quite expensive though and don't come up that often....Mark. Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 can he remember the sellers account name ?Dunno the name but its defo the same as the one TG posted above, great little gizmo and saves loads of "mystery work" if summink goes adrift, probably get myself one of my own soon Link to post Share on other sites
