Issue was throttle body adaption after disconnecting of battery in a 1999 VW Passat wagon. Today is Oct 2, 2020 I ordered the Hex-V2 a week ago, it arrived in the mail this afternoon. I downloaded software and connected everything and followed the steps in this video. It recognized the fault in the throttle body and took me through step by step to readapt. Was back up and running in about 5 min! Then took some time to go through and clear other codes. Thanks Ross- Tech!

[@ughblenders]

having this issue with exactly that car. did you have to buy the $99 registered software key or were you able to do it without?

[@juneaufabrellos]

@@ughblenders I believe I bought the $199 Hex-V2 version that lets you work on up to three vin car numbers. By the way, the older cars it doesn’t register a vin in the system, so you get more wiggle room depending on the number of cars your working on. As I said in my post, i downloaded the software, hooked it up and had the throttle body issue cleared up in just a few minutes. Hope it works for you!

[@juneaufabrellos]

@@ughblenders I called them to order and the tech that took my call was very helpful

[@ughblenders]

@@juneaufabrellos bought mine off of Amazon so when I reached out for my activation code they told me it wasn't through a verified seller. Guess I'll pay the $99 for the software bypass! Thanks, appreciate it 🤝

[@NachoBides]

Is there a way to adjust idle speed on a polo 1.4 bby with a 4mv ecu? Thanks

[@RossTechVCDS]

Then you wait more than 30 seconds. :) I'm not really sure why the 30 second rule is there in the first place. From our point of view (VCDS), nothing happens between the ECM and VCDS after the ADP OK message comes up. The EPROM does need to save new values from the Throttle Body, but I would think that takes 30 seconds to happen, as in milliseconds. But the 30 second rule comes from VW / Audi, so I'm sure there is some reason for it.

[@alexandrefelippe]

@dreadwings3 I found the opinion to perform the throttle body alignment on the newest vcds version, which is on a very different location. Will need to re- learn how to use vcds because they changed things place. Regarding if I could manage to perform throttle body alignment, the answer is I am not sure because at old version v12, we can listen to the throttle body working (the characteristic noise) with the newest version the throttle body simple do nothing. The characteristic noise is not present. Therefore, I am not sure if it's working properly or not.

[@tazgamerplays]

On mine, instead of showing adp ok it says error. I have checked the relay by the computer and it seems fine also.

[@azzz8083]

did you find a reason? I saw one today with the same issue

[@tazgamerplays]

Mine had a bad engine temperature sensor. Basically the car thought it was extremely cold but it was in the summer time. I'm not sure if that was the causing the error though. Did get the car running again, at least for a few months. It did the same thing again and no matter what we did, we never did get it started again.

[@azzz8083]

@@tazgamerplays seems like there are different kind of throttle bodies, check vcds website and they say how to adjust each one of the three kinds. There’s a video from their official channel, probably you need to run a full on-off time to get it to adjust

You probably have the coding for LHD vehicles, you'll likely need to either change through the hidden menu or by changing through vcds, although be careful not to incorrectly code as you can cause permanent damage to expensive modules.

Hey guys. Can someone tell me if I can use this program VCDS and the diagnose cable with a tablet? Thanks

[@RossTechVCDS]

Szalasi Zsolt Depends. Our wired interfaces can be used with the Windows 8 tablets. You can find them for under $100 for the 7" and 8" versions. They often have a micro-USB port, so an adapter would be needed. Our HEX-NET wifi interface comes with VCDS-Mobile. VCDS-Mobile works with Android and Apple devices. Search our Ross-Tech.com website for "HEX NET" to learn more.

[@szalasizsolt71]

The thing is I already have an interface (Hex-Can 12.12 with usb connection cable) and I wanted to know if it could be used with the Android tablets, but I realized that it's not worth complicating things, I'm gona buy a notebook and that should do it. Thanks for the info anyway! P.S. I tested my car the other day, wanted to know if I have any error codes , and after the full scan I started the engine and wanted to see the real time functions (measuring blocks) and surprise .. any number I picked in the measurings groups it wrote N/A and some error ... I don't recall anymore what it was. What could do that kind of errors?
