EVERY VW & AUDI OWNER SHOULD HAVE THIS! VCDS Showcase - At The Wheel

[@RossTechVCDS]

Thank you for the kind words! Something I'd like to mention, what features and functions you have with VCDS depends on what features and functions the control module you are connected to allows. Vehicles with the same body, same sheet metal, can have different variations of electronics in them. Regards.

In Brazil we want so bad to own one of this but is IMPOSSIBLE!!! We could buy one only from europe, price+shipping+taxes costs some ~2k brazilian real, its the price of one good water pump for a ea888, or 2 good tyres 235/45 r17 fron conti or an miche primacy 4. Thats a huge expense!!! In US this costs 199? or 149? in europe some 200 euros? thats 10% of an low tier salary, in brazil 2k is about 2 months of low income work just for an scanner!!! You are LOSING tons of money here, the people just buy an chinese crap copy for 150 brazilian real (~30 bucks) and replace it when they break!!! I want the original rosstech vcds but for a not ridiculous price! Please, we need a local dealer for your products right away! WV sells a lot here since forever!

[@omardude39]

@@galc9293 I believe the problem they have is this: Selling a digital online product like this means it transcends international boarders. Volkswagen exist in almost every market and have the distribution network to sell the vehicles at lower prices in lower regions. Software cannot do the same. If it is sold cheap in one nation because the cost of living is lower, then everybody buys at the lowest price. Sadly this means regions like Brazil are the losers. I would encourage VCDS to look at locking cheaper versions of software by physical postal address, not only VIN. It can be done.

[@galc9293]

@@omardude39 i concour, price is an problem but its ok for what offers, the real problem is price PLUS expensive shipping plus taxes cause by this expensive shipping they use. 400 us dolars its fine, not cheap but fine, but here this will cost almost 800 us dolars, thats a real problem... local distribution its a MUST!

@@Super-lucky-7777 You got that right. I plan to keep it as long as I trust it. It rolled off the assembly line in Emden, Germany exactly 24 years ago this month, so I guess it will be officially a "classic" next year. Our other car is a 2016 Golf Sportwagen, which is a noticeably peppier and easier on gas, but the Passat has better rear seat legroom and better visibility from the driver's seat. The Passat's larger side mirrors are a plus, in my book.

I just received my VCDS Cable i ordered from Ross Tech which is located out in Pa. They process each order as they are received. Plus they ship exactly as you request them to ship your VCDS Cable. Now i have to get the software which if i fully understood the representative i have to contact them back for the software to be sent i think. It has the update info as well support info attached to the Hex-V2 dual -k & CAN interface device they send you that you order. I strongly advise anyone to verify with Ross-Tech which specific cable actually is required for your needs. So your not placing order for wrong item ..

hi, really excellent video, you explained VCDS very clearly. I bought it to prime the diesel fuel filter holder, after a filter change. worked brilliantly. could also mention, that if you buy a GENUINE vcds, you will get free lifetime updates.

Great video, thank you for posting. I just ordered at VCDS - 10 vin unit. I have had Audis for 25 years, mostly always under warranty so , never needed one. I now have an out of warranty 2017 Q3 and in the US , Audi dealers near me cannot find technicians , so it is 4-56 weeks to get an oil change and service reminders reset. So I did my own oil change 6 months ago and found they had not tightened and never replaced the drain plug ( I don't believe judging by the paint on the drain plug ) , I had lost a quart of oil , belly pan was wet under oil pan.... So, I am DONE with Audi dealerships, I am mechanical but never owned a code scanner. So, anyway, I appreciate being able to see what I am getting into.

[@garymaclean6903]

I find dealers give such things as oil changes to their junior technicians, while the high-paid technicians work on higher value and more difficult repairs. So your more likely to get someone who doesn't know, or care, what torque to tighten your drain plug and filter at, and who may even grab an air impact gun to tighten it. I got my previous Volvo S60 back after dealer oil change with the aluminum oil drain crush washer tightened so tight the washer had been squished paper thin, and was actually pushed out around the base of the drain plug. Another time I had my TDI Jetta in for service, and the technician screwed up the installation of the replacement fuel filter, which caused it to gush fuel all over the inside of the engine compartment, before I checked for the strong smell of diesel fuel. Fortunately diesel fuel has a low flash point, but still, there was a significant fire risk. At least they repaired the leak and gave me an engine compartment flush. As a result I try to do as many of the service items myself. I can ensure fasteners are torqued properly and can inspect for potential problems before they become big problems.

[@robberhd3218]

You can do that without vcds. To perfrom the DSG gearbox perfrom the following steps. Be aware that it does not give you any visual feedback on the dash. 1. Put the key in the ignition and turn on - Do not start the car 2. Hold down the accelerator pedal fully for at least 10 seconds (many suggest 20 seconds). You will feel a little click under your foot at you push down the pedal fully. 3. Release the pedal - turn the key in the ignition. You can now start the car normally If the DSG reset is successful you may hear some shifting mechanical sounds from the gearbox.
