A few of you guys got the software for this?

Is it just the case of buying the correct lead of say ebay? Or is there more to it?

You can download a free sample version from here:

Thats what most people use to view general fault codes etc,it will do the DIY'er fine.You just need to buy a lead from Ebay thats what i did.

[Godderz23]

[Bradley]

Go for VCDS Lite.

[Godderz23]

Thanks mate.

All the leads on ebay say 409.1 i take it any would suffice?

[Bradley]

Yeh pretty sure thats what i use matey.

[Godderz23]

Thanks darling.

[Bradley]

No worries Babes

[alexperkins]

its limited what you can do remember - no setting changing, no adaptation etc

[Godderz23]

Thats cool was only to have a bit of a play with and check faults etc.

I have a copy of Vagcom if you want it, works well on my GTI and has adaption settings available, etc.

PM me if you want a copy

I recentley upgraded to the full version ( chepest one) of VCDS at about 100$. Well worth the money and gives all the adjustment capabilities you'll need.

[alexperkins]

Its worth having the genuine article to be fair

I bought a HEX+CAN USB one (the most expensive ) as the Golf has to have full can compatibility, and its already saved me a fortune.

[joe2612]

I'll probably upgrade to the HEX+CAN at some point.. my cheapy ebay cable has served me well for basic functions.

Hey dude, yeah im keen, got the free one yesterday and going to order the cable this week. What can i do with the full version? I dont really know all that much about them, only thought i could use it to diagnose faults.
