After some Idiot drove the car with one of the airbags unpluged

I know have a ABS light on the Dash

So I can take it and get it reset at my local garage but would ideally like to get one of the data cables and laptop software to have a nosey arround and it liley wont be the last time.

So a quick trawl arround ebay look like I need the newer ( more expensive ones !) k-can

Ideally I want it USB and Win 7 compatible anybody bought one recently that works on K-can that they can recomend plus I will need the software as well.

Thanks

There is a "Help a mate" system on the vwaudiuk forum, where people with this gear can help for small amounts of beer money.

Here is the link.

Not used it myself, but the proper kit is expensive

I bought my Vagcom brand new for £210 with the lead and license mate

trying one of these which I am assured will work

Seems it offers quite a bit to have a dig arround the VAG system

Cheers for all your Help

My ebay purchase turned up and withing 2 minutes of opening the package my Air Bag light wastyurned off
Only hace 10 - 15 minutes to play as my turn persuede the 9 month old that sleep is a good idea!

Look like it can only remove / reset 'Errors' and not set normal registry settings calibration.

It has got a live view but the main thing Mrs Agriv8 has stopped nagging 'Priceless'

Why does part of the SRS system cause an ABS fault? That seems utterly stupid.
