hey everyone, im steven, my mk4 golf is dying and i cant workout why, i have done some data logs but i honestly dont know what im looking for, can anyone help? it all started as a miss, replaced the plugs, ignition amp and cleaned the maf, then it turned into a backfire, i replaced a breather hose and now its back to a miss/stutter.

i cant post attachments but i can email the logs if someone can help.

thank you

There are no engine related fault codes in the log so you would need to dig deeper by looking at some MBVs.

Is there any particular reason why you're running a 5 year old version of VCDS?

I don't know who you bought that pirated product from, but it certainly wasn't Ross-Tech!

Caught red-handed! :facepalm:

I knew this was highly likely a counterfeit cable :rolleyes: Even the newest version of VCDS works on ancient Windows XP and the the oldest of VAG cars so there would be no good reason that RT would ever have advised to run a 5 year old version of VCDS! :eek:

I suspect the OP's location likely isn't Australia either.

From "here"?

Where on Ross-Tech's site do you see any VCDS version older than the current Release version, which is 17.1.3 at present?

I'll tell you what. Download VCDS 17.1.3 from the Ross-Tech website HERE and see how well it works with your cable.

Who is the party you paid?

Why not file a claim against them?
