    OBDII reader, anyone?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey,

    My 02 Avant 1.8t just threw a CEL today, I'm wondering if anyone in or around North Etobicoke has a reader and can tell me what's up...

    PM if you can help, please!

    TIA

    BRING BACK GCC REP!!

    jason1st: If you just want a good job and to be able to take care of your family with a lot of security etc. Canada is a great place for that.

    If you want to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women, then the United States is where you should be.

    i know we have an ODBII port but is it not vagcom that is needed to read our codes?

    I didnt think the standard ODBII code readers would work...i could be wrong.

    I think you're kind of right

    there's 3 levels of Vagcom set ups, to my knowledge

    The $20 Scottish version (which I have, being Scottish) - free software, $20 cable - this can only do basic convenience changes, and is kind of useless for diagnosis of errors, but is still fun for remote windows/euro lights/seatbelt chime etc. Awesome and EVERYONE should have it.

    The $99 version - like above, but must register with Vagcom (partial). also do basic interpretation stuff (i.e. Check Engine Light), but can't scan to determine if anything's about to go wrong

    The $700 version - full Monty - does it all

    I've got a OBDII scanner and am near Weston and Sheppard if that helps LMK.

    PM'ed
    Old enough to know better... Young enough to do it again, just getting harder to recover.
