its not VCDS level, but I sue OBD Eleven on teh Wifes 2016 Golf and its can do most stuff, albeit they charge for tokens and each coding modification uses tokens.

However for diagnosis its free once you've bought it

heard back from Mackies ta last they are quoting £4500 +vat for a rebuild, so much the same as my local

thanks, I'm wondering if theres a market for it as a project for someone who has the time and space for teh fix

Hi Chaps you might know me from the other place, but first post here is a tale of woe!

The S8 replacement arrived a couple of years ago, I took my time to put the S8 up for sale and sods law once I did its decided to shit the bed.

I've been texting with MJ about it but figured it might be better ...
