Stacey,
have been down that road.The free download from Ross-Tech is very basic I think.You may be able to read some fault codes but you will not be able to reprogramme the throttle body with it!.If it was that simple, Ross-Tech wouldn't make any money.A good scan with Vag.Com. possibly with the ...
