Default Finally got a Vag-Com,,,

My buddy has an AllRoad that he has done up with some bigger turbo's and chip,exhaust,but it isn't working right,so he got fed up and bought a Vag to help figure out what the problem.
What a cool program.

Default VAG-COM is pretty much a must-have, especially for the later cars...

My oil change interval reminder just came up again on my 95.5, reminding me of the many years it would vastly annoy me on startup because I refused to spend the $$ that the local stealer wanted to reset it. No prizes for guessing the very first thing I used my VAG-COM for ;-)

The bad news is there really isn't that much for it to talk to on the S-cars compared to the more recent iron- engine, CC, ABS, and air bag controller are pretty much it.

Will it talk to the diagnostics on our cars?

Default Not sure what you're asking. The "diagnostics" on the C4 consists of a handful of separate boxes...

and VAG-COM or the equivalent can talk to everything that's smart enough to talk back. It's just that the number of modules that are smart enough to communicate is very small compared to even a base OBD-II car, let alone some of the latest Audis.
