Re: Major bill coming my way advise needed
Hi Barry. VCDS genuine cable is Ross-tech.
They are a bit expensive new. I bought mine 2nd hand from a member on here.
There are other cheaper versions but they are not as good imvho.
Either way the investment will soon pay for itself many times over.
Hope this is useful.

Yes that’s spot on will keep my eyes peeled on the sell and wanted page I take it
Re: Major bill coming my way advise needed
Yeah, it’s 225 from Gendan, but virtually a necessity to own one.

Re: Major bill coming my way advise needed
Matt. Has Ross tech significantly reduced their prices.
IIRC when I was looking I had a figure of £500 ish in my head.
Then I bought a superb (as new) unlimited cable from chunky79. Forever grateful to dunc. Best purchase I have made for the RS6.
Re meet. That’s going to cost me a packet as :
Matt prefers a 1959 Dom Perignon
Bam bam macallan whiskey (Mateus rose really)
Chunky79 like me whatever’s going
Sweegie can have whatever he wants
The list goes on and on.
As for shoppinit. Might as well just give him my wallet as I owe him so much.

Re: Major bill coming my way advise needed
Ah ok. Yes £225 for a 3 vin.
That is very good value for a essential diagnostic tool IMO.
When I was looking for one I was after the unlimited version which obviously costs a bit more.

Re: Major bill coming my way advise needed
Still waiting to get my car down to unit 20, waiting for a manifold , grizz said he has the brake booster valve, says he’s having to source the other part from elsewhere now and was told 2 days, still not arrived did suggest sending my car down so it’s there ready and waiting, however unfortunately no room at the inn at the minute as he has <beep> loads of cars at the minute , can’t wait till this is fixed as it’s getting beyond a joke now driving this fiat 500 the other crowd I mentioned left a voicemail today, bet they have had a cancellation our something

Re: Major bill coming my way advise needed
They are always busy but worth the wait.
My wife wanted me to sell the 6 and get a Fiat 500.
That conversation didn’t last long.
Just two words from me and it ended in off.
Ps
Nothing against a fiat 500
But the 6 is going nowhere.

Ask Martin or Lee to have a good look over it while it's there (they normally do anyway) to see if they'd recommend anything else.
Really not sure there's a place that knows more about the C5 RS6 than there.
