We now offer an adapter cable which moves pin 7 (VCDS interface side) over to pin 3 (Porsche car side). This saves modifying your VCDS interface or the car's wiring: https://www.gendan.co.uk/product_PORRED.html

Thanks all for your help! The AutoScan in my opening post is from Bayland's car

Hi all, VCDS isn't offering any drop-down documented Basic Settings on this car for ABS, Steering Assist or Steering Angle modules. Group 060 shows as 'Unavailable' in the ABS module and Steering Assist module. Security Access code 40168 works for ABS module and Steering Assist but doesn't work...

Hi all, Please can you help? A workshop using a VCDS HEX-NET is struggling with a mechatronic unit replacement. There were faults which could not be fixed on the old unit and after fitting a new unit (from Audi and ordered by VIN), there are still faults present which can't be cleared and...

The OP is still unable to connect to any system directly. The interface is a HEX-V2. At our suggestion, he tried using the 'Bypass CAN init' option but that hasn't helped. I figured it's a 7H Transporter, so most modules won't be running CAN. Selecting this option generates the following error...

VAG are introducing Security Gateways on some new models. Fiat, Chrysler and Alfa introduced these in 2018 and I'm sure others will follow. These require an authentication code from VAG servers to allow anything other than EOBD/OBD-II diagnostics. I believe this is something Ross-Tech are...

Thanks for replying. The remotes were working before the control modules failed and were replaced (apparently due to water ingress). I can only assume that changing the BCM has lost the remotes. There are 2 remotes and neither work anymore. We looked at Adaptations in 0x05 and from memory...

Hi all, Please can you help? I'm trying to find the procedure to match Remote Control Fobs for this Bentley 3W. The keys work with the immobiliser and start the vehicle but the remote fobs do not work. Neither module 46 or 09 offer any adaptations for Remote Fobs. Module 05 is asking for a...

Oil change on 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe. Car stalled after overheating.

Thanks again for your help! A reply from my customer below: "Was getting around to changing the sensor. So seems the logical place to start We have 12v on pins 1and 3 and when we simulate the signal on 2 everything else fires up fans kick in and the expansion valve opens. We checked the...

Hi all, I am posting this on behalf of a customer. They are fighting to get the AC working on their Jetta. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer: About 4 weeks ago we charged the AC system and as of yesterday we checked and it was holding the gas (17.5 barg). When we turned on the AC...

Please can a moderator correct the thread title? I posted too hastily and now can't correct the title to the required format. Thank you.

Hi all, A colleague called in today with a 2014 VW Caddy. They had been trying to recalibrate the G85 Steering Angle Sensor after a geometry adjustment but had started the ESP Function Test by mistake. I managed to calibrate the Steering Angle Sensor successfully but cannot get the ESP...
