I am trying to cycle the fuel pump on a 2014 3L v6 TDI but measuring blocks (I think that is where I access the fuel pump) is not highlighted so I can't access it. The update to VCDS was done when I started the task.
26.3 not working properly

Note the Manual Index (links) half way down the Interactive Manual page.

This has nothing to do with the version of VCDS, but rather the protocol your ECU uses. See:
UDS Vs non-UDS
To keep things super simple for this post... there are two types of control modules in our vehicles, UDS and non-UDS (legacy). UDS type modules were introduced around 2009 with some instrument clusters. As time went on, other modules went to the UDS protocol. With the 2015 Golf, all modules...

Thanks for that information. The output test screen doesn't "activate". It says select an output and start but the start tab isn't highlighted.
In the advanced measuring values works but I don't see and option to purge the fuel pump.

The way I understand this is, the controller or that function is not available and can not be preformed. VCDS can only preform functions that the factory provides in the modules.
Some of the TDI members may chime in to give you other options to try.
Here are some other helpful links and this is where Uwe's UDS link came from in post #3:

When I go to output test the page doesn't fully lode so there are no options to test output of the fuel pump.
Hoping there is a solution I can do myself.

Did you select one? One like: "Fuel pump electronics" ?
Post a screen-shot so we can see what you're trying to tell us.
FWIW, your ECU also has a Basic Setting:
IDE00459 -- Test of transfer fuel pump
And a Basic Setting is the traditional way of purging the fuel lines.

Unfortunately when I try to purge the fuel lines using basic setting I get ERROR Service not supported in active session.
My bad on the output test, I wasn't clicking on the drop down option. But when I do and hit setart I get Refused by Control Module.

Hood open, connect battery charger.
Ignition OFF 10 sec.
Ignition ON
[Security Access-16], enter S12345
Use the Basic Setting, Uwe showed, IDE00459 -- Test of transfer fuel pump
You should always start with an Autoscan text file here.

Codes is probably not the correct word.
I really appreciate all of the help you all have offered. At 76 with failing mechanical (lack of patience and getting overwhelmed) I never should have started this project but paying someone to finish it is not an option.
The "codes" I am referring to are in basic settings when clicking on test of transfer fuel pump I get ERROR service not supported in active session.
The second one is in output test I click on the appropriate option click on start I get refused by control module.

We understand\appreciate that you're in over your head... but taking the "poor me" approach won't solve anything.
So make sure you're reading and following the direction that you've been provided.
Are you?
