lolek 0 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 having had a problem with the car one morning (which turned out i had probably flooded it) i called out the aa, he plugged in his computer and it wouldnt work, he said theres probably a k line fault. since then i have bought a usb lead and downloaded both 311.2 and 409.1 vag com software, when plugged in to car the led comes on and on the test page it says everything is ok but when i go to check something it tells me interface not connected. (im obd1 engine with obd2 plug) is there a way of testing the plug connections on the car for voltage, resistance continuity etc. Link to post Share on other sites
spiffo 0 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 What lead did you get, I had a usb to serial adaptor one and when I installed the drivers for it winxp put it on Com Port 6 which is no good cos the Vag-com software will only deal with com ports 1 to 4, I had to go into System-Control Panel-Hardware, etc and manually change the Com Port it was using, despite the dire warnings that winxp gave me, then it worked fine.Oh and I also had to hacksaw off the plastic outer of the Plug so it would actually fit into the OBD Port in the car properly, then it was fine.

spiffo 0 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Mmmm that's the same cable I got I think, have you hacksawed off the plastic outer bit but left the plastic bit that runs down the middle of the two rows of pins so that you can actually push the plug all the way on ?
