Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    This is the company that supplies the program
    Ross-Tech: Home
    I bought mine $99US around 6 years ago. It was/is called VAG-COM 409
    You need a 16 pin lead to USB from Ebay[Hong Kong supplier] Can't remember but very cheap.
    A laptop that still works. Mine is old & is installed with windows98 & works fine.
    Once you have bought your program from Ross Tech, install in a computer that has some life left in it.
    It's hard to move to another computer & you may have to pay another $99. They may allow one swap.
    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.
