Default VAGCOM required NE England

HI,
Ive tried the official thread, but does anybody around Hartlepool area (happy to travel) have VAGCOM please?

Would like to discuss a few options and features on the car.



TIA, Paul

Will be travelling up sometime early next week to Middlesborough. Will be there for a week, you can borrow my lead. It's the old type serial type so will need a laptop with that or a converter if that works?

Thats a really good offer but I think I also need somebody who knows their operation too. For example I lowered my last 8 mechanically with new links but have since been advised you can do the same with vcds?

With the Saabs Im more used to we used to just pay an hours time and have the guy show us all of the tweaks and personalised options that were available and send us away happy chappies

Bushido, are you on Facebook? If so, there are several VCDS/Vagcom groups in the UK, and you might find one suitable for your area.

dont bother with vcds lowering its complicated
