Default Vagcom register

Hi Guys and Girls,
Being fairly new to the forum, could someone explain how this register works.
My recently purchased A8 is in need of some diagnostic treatment. Went to a local Audi Specalist in Guildford, who wants to chage me £58 + VAT per hour for this service.
As I am based in Guildford, Surrey the closest guys to me are Notorious in Reading, Architex_mA8tey in Swindon and mkoneman in Oxford.
Do you contact these members direct and make an appointment. If so what would the charge be, if any (hopeful)
Also I would not know how to operate this equipment or read the codes it threw up, so would need someone to help and show/explain.
I am happy to pay for this resource/service, but would like to think I could get it cheaper through the forum.

Finally, does anyone know of a good Audi Specalist in the Guildford Area.

Hi Barzy
Depends how quick you need it I guess, most of us will happily run a scan for you and try to help. I can let you know if im passing on the M25 on my travels soon and I will leave the others to answer themselves. I dont charge nor do most guys but I guess most of us wouldnt say no to the odd donation towards the cost of their leads, or pint
MkOneMan has a business called OBD works now which will give a fuller service if you'd like that -
www.facebook.com/obdworks
full genuine ross-tech vcds
full genuine vag- tacho
full genuine mpps flash mapping

An alternative is to come to one of our meets check out the meets thread HERE for the next date and come along with us, and I'm sure we can all take a look at your car and see if we can sort a scan etc

I'm in Southeast Kent in case thats any closer to you. I work in central London and could easily meet you somewhere in town after work.
