VAG Code Reader

[hammo19]

Anyone recommend a reasonably priced VAG code reader. One that displays the fault not just code and can reset faults/service indicators. Needed for 2003 Audi TT 3.2.

OBDeleven might be worth a look, I've been tempted to buy one for a while

OBD Eleven is the go to these days. Get the pro version can also do coding as per VCDS.

worth comparing with the Carista Bluetooth OBD2 dongle. I've not compared but think this one is a monthly prescription basis.

Thanks gentlemen I will take a look at your recommendations

VCDS Lite should work with an 03 TT

OBD11.....

Carista is quite basic I believe, only simple on off switch for things, OBD11 has full VCDS like capability and more.

I used to use VCDS, but actually prefer OBD11 now and sold my VCDS cable. Like I say, it does more, plus it just connects to your phone via bluetooth so I have it with me all the time, no carting around a laptop and trailing cable

It's worth buying a cheap android tablet/phone for using OBDeleven, still be cheaper than full VCDS.

As mentioned earlier though, VCDS LITE (Free download, just needs a £6 ebay cable) will work on an earlier TT.(mk4 platform) for advanced measuring blocks and features you will need to buy a Ross-Tech license. Used to be $99

It's all I used on previous VAG stuff, but I bought OBDeleven when I got the Edition 30 as VCDS lite doesn't work on the mk5 platform.
