VAG-COM scanning, who can help

[80XIN]

Hey Dave, I would have been happy to help you but I'm based in Perth

Thanks mate! Lucky I found someone local, wasn't looking forward to driving all that way for some coding!!

Sorry for the NOOB question...but

I want to install an RNS510 and parking sensors. I need this to work with my existing reversing camera in split screen mode. VW quoted me $1200 complete job.

So how does this coding work? Is it a matter of getting a VW cable, PC and some software to tell the ECU to talk to the new accessories? Is this actually writing the code?

Where can I read up on this coding as I would like to learn. I'm sure my IT geek skills can be used for good

Most people go for the Ross Tech cable as it can cover all of the VAG family.

To find out how it works check here http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/main_screen.html

Parking sensors will mean you have to remove and drill the rear bumper and then run wiring looms inside your car to a controller and the RNS. It can be done DIY but is a few hours work.

I've got a cable and am in Newcastle if anyone needs it

Anyone in Melbourne willing to help out, new to the whole VW scene, just got an 03 Mk IV 2.0 Sport, looking to unlock the Distance to Empty, roll up windows on lock + any other cool things people can recommend.

Thanks

I have a 2011 Passat Wagon with RNS510 and I have just installed the RVC - anyone in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne with a VCDS available to help me program it all up?

More than willing to compensate you for your time and expertise!

Received my VCDS HEX+CAN+USB from Mount Auto Equip. Received it 2 days after order. Price was $369 (incl GST, incl shipping). Great service from the guys, highly recommend Mount Auto Equip.

the Dark Side

Anyone in Melbourne's west able to help with a trouble-code scan? Check engine light just came on...

I'll set the scene: Just did a 4000km roadie which included maybe 7 fill-ups @ 7 different servo's & wasn't able to get 98 at 2 places, so reverted back to my 95 tune for about 1000k's in the middle somewhere. The final leg was from Newcastle to Melbourne in one hit (1100km's in 12 hours, 2 drivers) last Friday, when it was pretty well 38-40 deg C all the way. Also, in Sydney, i filled up when there wasn't much left in the tank, like a 'range' of 20km's, so probably less than 5 litres left...

Any ideas or anyone can help? Car is running fine now on 98 & 98 tune, but starting is a little 'strained', ie, the motor seems to have to turn over for a couple of seconds before it fires up.



Thanks.

so I can use the foglights as CH/LH lights?

What does this mean mate, I'm lost but get the feeling there is a cool mod here...
