hallie 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hello all,I have only had my VR6 for a few weeks and it has deleloped a intermitant fault with the abs. Posted another thread but no response yet http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?201247I have however bought a vagcom cable from ebay ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220160335570 ) in the hope of fixing it but I cant get it to talk to the car.The car is a 94 golf vr6 with the obd2 16 pin style plug. Have I bought the wrong cable if the car is obd1 even thought it has the obd2 plug. The vagcom software finds your cable on com 3 and the led lights up when plugged into the car but it wont talk to anything.Have I done something wrong? cheersMartin Link to post Share on other sites

hallie 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Right I took the car to a garage today and they pluged their diagnostics into it, it found 5 logged faults on the abs. They cleared them so hopefully they wont come back !!Having seen that it is possible to talk to the diagnostics I had another go with the vag com. Changed the com port settings and it works !! :-p Connects to the engine ecu and the airbag system. (no faults found)But it wont talk to the abs !!! (the whole reason for getting the vag com) Vag com tries to connect 4 times and the abs light on the car flashes as it tries but in the end it says "excessive comms error"Does anyone know how to sort this? It must be possible as another diagnostic machine was able to read and reset the codes.Martin Link to post Share on other sites
