I've been a mechanic for over 20 years, grew up on a farm...I own audi's, hondas, GMs, Jeeps etc....(my wife says we have a car lot!!!!)

I have a $4000 snap on scan tool, solus pro elite, software version 10.2 for my job.....If you are NEW to Audi's/VW's PLEASE PLEASE buy a VAG-COM cable on EBAY (under $20), download the ross-tech.com software, the lite software, or the FULL version-DEMOs are FREE!!!!...it DOES MORE, and COSTS less, and helps EVERYONE out, AND DOES MORE!!!!! AND it will COST you SOOOOOO much LESS than a mechanic CHARGING YOU TO READ CODES!!!! It WILL save you SOOOO MUCH $$$$$$!

That way, diagnosing your AUDI or VW is SOOOO MUCH easier!!!!! AND we can ALL help you out better, I love to help people because people have helped me......

I'm just bit**ing, and just my 2cents....

 

Right on man. I bought mine one month after owning my car.
