I bought one recently, fine for reading codes but you cant clear them. Need to register (and of course pay for a license) with ross tech to be able to clear them

oh right what car did u use it on spoke to others with mk3 s etc they all said was ok for checking and clearing faults etc just couldnt use all other features etc?

I used it on my mk2 VR and on my mk4 diesal. It reads and displays the faults but when you click the clear dtc button a message pops up and says need to register on ross-tech site.

I bought this lead:

Maybe I need to investigate how I have installed it, I did follow the instructions though!

I had this problem too. In the end I tested the com ports in vag-com, it identified comm 3 but still wouldnt work.

I then had to go into:

start>control panel>system>hardware>device manager. (you will see a list)

click on

click on a port>port settings>advanced>then at the bottom you see try selecting a different com port number> ok it al then re run vag com.

Basically, vag com recognised comport 3, but it was labelled com port 2 in my computer. Once I selected a different one it worked and recognised the modules.

I found the above on the net somewhere, I'm not sure what any of it means as im no computer whiz, but it works now!!!

Hope it helps!

(oh i can now clear codes. Looks like the option wont let me as its shareware, but I can manually scan the modules and clear them.)
