Hey Ben.
Ran auto scan. That went well.
Tried to clear logged faults. SUCCESS

So I am running beta version and “bypass can innit” ticked.

I am now loading an old version 24.5
See if that works.
At least if I have a problem I can now revert to the BETA version.

Ok so I deleted the BETA version (which worked fine), and downloaded 24.5 (older version), of VCDS software.
All is ok and works perfectly.

So there is a problem with the latest software update 24.7 for some of us, but not all of us.

Good luck to Ross Tech sorting that one out.

Hi Ben.
I tried to resend it and it wouldn’t send.
I meant to go to a pc Shop that I know quite well.
Then forgot about it.
I will get there next week mate.
Sorry.
