Memoscan U600 fault reader

I would say that the V-checker well maybe what you're after. But, the VCDS and the small secondhand netbook in the glovebox would be better, though more expensive option.

Try V-checker and let us know.

Thanks!

Can anybody kindly confirm what onboard diagmostic protocol a 2008 built Australian delivered VW Multivan TDI is? I have trawled the web and it is not clear in my mind. K+ and Canbus protocols are mentioned regarding VW's. Then there is The ADR 79/01 (Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 79/01 – Emission Control for Light Vehicles 2005) standard; the Australian equivalent of OBD-II or The EOBD (European On Board Diagnostics) regulations; the European equivalent of OBD-II.

KWP2000 is also mentioned.

How does one verify which protocol a VW Austalian delivered model is operating on?

Using the Autel on my 04 comes up with "KWP2000"

Steve, Thanks for this. I wonder if it is Canbus for a 2008 model? The sage with Topbuy continues to obtain a replacement or a refund before I aim for an alternative fault reader. Best regards,Scott

Hi Guys,

V-checker VAG Pro V202 arrived yesterday. I plugged it in and it at leasts recognises the vehicle's computer. Will have a play with it on the weekend and unplug a few things to see if it picks up the fault codes. Interesting it comes up with KWP2000 as the protocol (not Canbus) even for a 2008 TDI vehicle..

Regards,

Scott
