vcds

I know there are numerous posts on this but just looking for a very simple unequivocal explanation of how it can be done at a main dealers if indeed one exists. I have read posts where it is stated they won’t entertain changing the settings which if that be the case the following is irrelevant...

Hi all, I've searched the forum but cang find a definitive answer. Does anyone know the coding required after installing a tow bar and loom kit. I'll be using VCDS. Thank you!!!!

Hi all, I'm wiring foglights to a 2020 t6.1. I have fitted the lights and fitted the wires to pins, 3&40 on the bcm. I have gone into adaptations and I'm not sure what to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I fitted a new switch with a front foglight position.

Is the older version of VDCS totally compatible with our T6’s? Is it just that V2 is a lot quicker scanning?

Has anyone swapped a five speed gearbox with a six speed?

Hello lovely T6 Forum people Please would you throw your ten penneth in to this decision please? I have a EUR5 Startline T6 without cruise control or MFSW and the MFD has the trip feature. I’ve always planned on doing the retrofit. I’ve read the hundreds of pages on all threads and understand...

So, I've been getting the all too common P046C fault code along with P2457 (Insufficient EGR Cooling Performance). Neither alone will flag a check engine light but combined they sometimes seem to. To try to figure out what is going on, I ran an EGR Flow test on VCDS using instruction from @mmi...

I've got a Genuine Ross-tech HEX+CAN cable unlimited vins etc that I purchased many years ago from Gendan.. Would sell for £250.

Hey! First of all, sorry for my bad grammar. I have T6.1 2020 automatic 4x4, led lights and everything on it except rear AC. However, what do I really need? I'm mostly interested in finding what's wrong with the car and probably see the codes and turn off the codes in the car. To me it looks...

A quick DIY way to test fuel lift pump's basic functionality. The test takes advantage of engine's fuel high pressure sensor (in fuel rail). Running the lift pump continuosly makes the pressure eventually "leak" through high pressure pump and can be detected by fuel pressure sensor. As a side...

Hi, I was going to have the Seikel raised suspension kit fitted to my van which includes 235/65R17 108H tyres being fitted to my standard wheels, they tell me that if they do s speedo adjustment to match these tyres that there is a possibility that the cruise control will stop functioning...

I'm looking for some help in understanding if the following is possible. MIB2 Head Unit - Hidden Sound Settings The MIB2 (second-generation modular infotainment platform) head units (Discover Media) appear to have hidden, additional filters and EQ that we can not change without coding. This...

I would like to activate the rear speaker out in a T6.1. I am sure I remember this can now be done with vcds, however I cant find the post by @Absolut5 that says it is possible and how to do it. If anyone has better search skills than me I would be grateful. Thanks

Since I appear to live in the middle of a VCDS user desert, I looked into buying VCDS. Straight from Ross-Tech it’s straight forward. However, being a proper Yorkshireman, I also looked on FB marketplace and eBay. What’s the deal with the surplus of £40 Hex2 connector cables? Are they… of...

Hi, decided to sell my Ross Tech VCDS HEX V2 10 VIN version. Bought new in 2021 from Gendan (original receipt included). Used a handful of times on my T6 back then and sat in a cupboard ever since so 9 VIN registrations remaining. Just plugged in to my laptop today and updated to latest...

As I like to spend my weekends making simple mods to my van, and in doing so, spawning fault codes like they are going out of fashion, I think I need to delve deeper into the brain of my van than my Carista can go….. is there such a thing as a “basic” VCDS kit? I’ve had a Google and there seems...
