Hello Ross Tech,

First let me say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, for making such a wonderful product!" I had been looking at your products for awhile and just couldn't get off the fence, until my 08 Jetta decided it didn't want to play one morning. I decided on the VCDS Mobile because of its flexibility with Mac OS and other platforms. I just can't say enough great things about your product, I love it!

Okay, on to the story... My 08 Jetta is stock and runs perfectly most times. I insist on doing my own maintenance, mainly because I don't trust dealerships. The other morning, my wife went to take our daughter to school using the Jetta. For some odd reason, the PCM / ABS / ASR / and check engine lights were all on. The car would go no faster than idle speed in forward or reverse gear; stepping on the gas pedal did nothing! So basically, the car would start, would go forward, and would go backwards, but you could run faster.

Connecting the VCDS Mobile was simple and straight forward. This was the first scan:

I was able to individually clear all codes except for the Address 01 "005445 - Throttle Valve Controller" and the Address 03 "01314 - Engine Control Module". I focused on these two faults and discovered through reading other posts, the following:

If your car was previously running fine and you get these two fault codes, "Do not buy anything yet! First remove the throttle body and clean it." These throttle bodies supposedly have a life expectancy of about 300k miles, but are sensitive to dirt and carbon build-up. Mine showed some minor carbon build-up, but I didn't think it was enough to interfere with its operation. So I cleaned and lubed it with Kroil. Great penetrant and cleaned the carbon quite well. After cleaning, the throttle body was re-installed and an exterior ground wire was added at one of the fastening screws and connected to the vehicle ground (This was also a recommendation of the trouble shooting article).

With everything re-connected and engine running, I was able to clear all faults. A short test drive proved that the problem was fixed.

It is safe to say that the VCDS Mobile has more than paid for itself during its first use. I'm sure there is more than one dealership that would have sold me "One of each" for everything listed in the scan that had a "Fault". Once again I can't thank you enough for a wonderful product.

Very respectfully,

Phil Hogge.
