Default Is it possible to screw your ECU up by using a VAG COM device?

I just got one and I'm reading the manual and getting a bit confused over how to make some tweaks.

Default Yes...

if you don't know what you're doing, and stray from the "safe" side, you can turn your car into a very expensive vegetable...

Default Yes, but it's pretty hard.

With very few exceptions, anything that you can "mess up" with VAG-COM can be fixed with VAG-COM.

As a general rule, do not "play" with the stuff on the "Refer to Service Manual" side unless you're following a documented procedure specfic to your car.
