If you purchase a VCDS or find a friend who can assist you with a VCDS (as noted above, a legitimate version of VCDS) the forum may be able to help you out.

Once you have access to a legitimate version of VCDS, post a complete Auto-Scan of your vehicle in its currant state.

Take a look here, there are three distributors listed for your country.


I don't think you've offended anyone. Just that the forum here is for technical support of VCDS customers, and users of other tools are often given some perhaps brusque advice about where to get support for their competitors tool.

Conversely, genuine customers are very well looked after. Hoping to see you as a customer sometime soon. :)
