Vag-com What can I do?

Post by braindeadhmster »

I have a mk 5 polo 1.4 16v. I have just got vag-com, what can I now do? I know I can read and reset DTC's. What else can I do and how?

Not a great deal on 1.4. On the gtis, you can enable a few extra features on the alarm and such

On the lower models, its mainly for configuring and resetting the TB, intake system and engine sensors, and taking test readings.

Have a look on the ross tech website (www.ross-tech.com). There isnt a great deal the unregistered version will allow you to do but read and clear faults. The new VCDS lite isnt too bad though.

Take a look on the site then :) but as said, there is little you can modify on these and its generally just system values that dont control anything of use to anyone but the ecu :(

I've tried to do a TBA. but it keeps telling me i need a registered version. I though the shareware version does it.
