Re: vagcom on ebay

No one has any rights to distribute the software without Ross Tech's say so and I highly doubt this ebay seller has any such right.

I may be able to get you a VAGCOM (compatible) cable on loan so you can check the comms

Re: Fault code reader advice.

Gendan are usually top notch.

Am I right in thinking the B5 OBD is in the central console? Can you pull the connector out of it's 'home' to check the wiring behind it?

Without stating the blindingly obvious, you do have the ignition on (turned to acc), right?

Update time. Nothing cosmetic but a few ideas in the air at the moment - lower front spoiler from another VAG vehicle is one idea ;) Mechanically I've just done timing belt, water pump, all belts and fluids changed.

So sorry Marc :( If I wasn't about to go on holiday myself next week I'd happily lend you my gutless 2.sl0w (saloon). Have a look on CB5 to see the extremes of belt damage.
