Title: Buying vag com
Post by: northyracing on March 20, 2013, 05:36:38 pm

As tilte says I'm looking to buy myself vag com but don't know a thing about it really so would like to know where I can get it and is it possible to get any stats on what is normal readings of a standard gti as if I gets vag com and plugs it in and logs the car I ain't got a clue what's normal or abnormal

VAG COM will set you back around £200 - £260 (New) It depends what you want to use if for. What are you thinking is wrong with your car? Is there any reason to suspect a difference from a standard GTI to yours?

Basically I am having a problem with my car with it being lumpy on idle almost like a missfire but had it plugged into a snap on diagnostics and showed no fault so just wanted to log it and see if everything is running as it should be as I am stumped as I have changed all coils and plugs new DV and PCV also cam follower and still playing up

I no someone who own vagcom but he doesn't know what is normal reading on my car really just need to know what the correct reading of the maf sensor to rule out if it that's causing my lumpy idle

If you want your own VCDS lead I got mine from Nigel aka 'NHN' on the forum.  He's an official VAGCOM outlet and a few guys on here have purchased through him.  Very helpful guy.  :happy2:
