VAG-COM scanning & help

[Heardy 0]

I've got an X-ONE this one http://www.skpang.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=21&osCsid=39d2c9409406dfd009329343e08acdf2

By all accounts that one should work with a 16v 2.0ltr.

 

Did you set VAG-COM up to be at 4,800 "start baud" rate in "Options" so that the programme is pre-set that way before VAG-COM application is started. As registration is PC based, I run one copy of VAG-COM in a separate directory that starts at 9600 and have another in a separate directory which starts at 4800. Corrado modules are 9600 baud rate with this exception.

 

If it still doesn't work, there may be something perculiar about the SKPang interface the 16v ECU doesn't like. The only way to verify is to get someone elses to prove interrogation that is a know workable interface with the 16v.

Hi, Does anybody in the Hull area have the VAG Com for a '95 2.0 16V. I need to check faults with the ABS.

 

Thanks

Yes set it at 4,800 still no luck.

I'll see if i can try it on another 16v C and see if that's the problem.

Please Help - I have just had my beloved C serviced at my local specialist and th VAG com report says somthing like "YOUR ABS is so foofed I cant even spit out the right code!"

(multiple comm errors I think it said.

)

HEARDY - I am only in Barnsley Mate, any chance of havin a butchers using your VAG Com?

 

:notworthy:

Quick question.. can someone point me at what I need to buy if I want to get VAGCOM? I know I need a cable and I need some software.. which would be most suitable? I'm looking for the MK4 Golf..

What I wrote here will help.

You really need to have the v512.1 version to access all the ECUs/Modules which means the dearer set up but CAN won't necessary but note future proofing.

Ouch.. me and my mate were hoping it was about £100 so we could just go halves on a kit for both our Golfs but at that price, I think i'll give it a miss.

 

Cheers! :)

Bit off the subject, but can anyone supply a wiring diagram for OBD2 connector? I've got a 2.9VR Conversion in my Mk2 Golf, the guy supplied the whole loom which I swapped out and works fine, but a couple of the pins have fallen out the connector and part of the loom which has 4 wires in it, connected back to the multiplug has been cut?? Any help would be apprecriated, realise its not a Corrado!! Thanks Gav.

[Supercharged 2]

Yep, this should help you...

Right then i've finally got it to work and there are no fault code's,but when i go into measuring blocks i can't get any reading's it just says ERROR in most of the blocks any ideas whats up?

[RW1 0]

The 16v 2.0ltr has only a Group 000 measuring block available. 10 fields with digits in each which have to be used in conjunction with the workshop manual. ie. "field 4 must achieve value 5 to pass, if other value replace......" So, its not like the VR6 with 7 sets of measuring blocks. That is why 001 upwards give error.

If i press the COPY CODES thing in VAG-COM, does it store them in the computer ? If so where?

Cheers

[Trig 0]

On the clipboard I think, you just need to open word/wordpad/notebook & paste them.

Right, NickRStorm Vag-COMmed my VR at the TV meet today (mine is a '93 L-reg VR), and it only found the ABS system, not the ECU or anything else. He also scanned ZippyVR6's ('93, 2x2)and had the same result - yet a scan on thebrayne's '96 with the OBD2-style connector found everything.

 

I thought that all VRs were completely scannable, and only the 2.0 16V could only read the ABS and nothing else?

 

Any ideas why mine and Rog's weren't responding on the ECU and so on?

[RW1 0]

Sounds like the interface lead was not compatible. What was the interface used (Ross Tech or EBAY type)?

 

VR6 engine ECU's are not a problem with communications. No special set up of VAG-COM needed. Should just go straight in and lock on.

 

.

[gradeAfailure 0]

It was an official RossTech one, which left me slightly confused as to why it didn't seem to want to read! I'm afraid I can't remember which version of VAG-COM it was though, though I wouldn't have thought that would matter...

 

Ah well, at least the ABS fault codes are cleared! Cheers Mr RW1 sir!

[RW1 0]

I have two Ross tech ones (optical & electrical isolation) and never have trouble with VR6's early or late. 9600 baud rate preset and straight in.

[Supercharged 2]

Was this a USB cable??? If so I think thats the problem or maybe the power supplied to the port by the laptop....

[sane 0]

Had the flat battery off for recharge and took the storm for 100 mile drive. stopped the car, then had to transporter it home as it would cut out just after startup! maybe some inlet sensor gone or something, or maybe immobiliser fault anyhow desparate for someone in Central/West /N.West/S.West london area to help out with their vag-com. sorry i cant come to you, large drink on me. im in W3 Acton.

Hi,

I have G60 and I checked the VAG-Com socket which is 2x2. However it seems one of the cables is missing. Could is be like that? Or I will remove the dashboard to find it out where is the missing cabe.

3 wires means analogue (blink code) diagnostics - VAG-COM not useable.
