If you've fixed the problem, it'll eventually go off. Eventually.

It's only FIVE POUNDS for an ebay special blue KKL cable and VCDS Lite is the mighty sum of ZERO POUNDS!

Go on... Splash out a little ;)

Sure, no probs. I use something very similar to this with much success:

KKL Cable Link

Ignore any driver CD you get with it and use these drivers direct from FTDI:

Drivers Link

I have a pretty comprehensive array of diagnostic tools & my trusty cheap blue kkl cable is the one i turn to most.
