So this rocked up today, amazed at how little you get...sick of the sight of the car right now so may leave it till later in the week. It has now decided that even though the good lady wife is sitting comfortably with a seat belt on, that she doesn't have it on and will ping to the World about it.

I don't know why people are so reluctant to spend 20 sheets on VCDS, but will happily spunk £350 on a crappy intake, or £1K+ on an exhaust  :stupid:

I would say a good 30-40% of the topics on here are related to diagnosing fault codes and running problems, and yet no one is willing to invest in the one thing that will help them out, double  :stupid: :stupid:

Any suggestions where to purchase from?

I got mine direct from Ross-Tech in America. Probably not a good time to buy right now with the weak pound.

Hang on till November when they have their Black Friday going on....we just got back from New York and things are still good value out there even with a crappy pound. The GLW bought a watch out there and still saved over £200 compared to UK prices.

I got my VCDS from http://www.gendan.co.uk next day delivery.
