In need of advise (VAG-COM)

Right before you tell me to search the forum I have but theres 577 pages and I am not going to go through them all :bash: I've read up a lot about VAG-COM and everytime I post someone seems to mention it in a comment so here goes.

I dont actually own a VAG-COM tool (lead) or software so I would like to purchase this as I have a few issues with my car and I would like to read the codes.
Could someone please point me in the right direction and where I can purchase the right lead and software from? I've looked at the ross-tech site and theres lots of different options on what to buy and I'm easily getting confused.

Any help will be much appreciated :lol:

Agree that Gendan is probably your best bet, but you can get is slightly cheaper from Ross-Tech US

Currently $407 delivered (about £243) and it comes very quickly - plus for customs declaration they only value the lead (which is negligible) as the vast majority of the price supports the free-to-download software

Not a huge difference (especially with any foreign transaction fees) so the exchange rate must have been more in my favour when I did it...

I got mine direct from Ross-Tech too, second the comment about the Customs declaration.

The Dollar is only £0.59 at the moment, so it's a good exchange rate (I got some great bargains earlier this month when we were staying with family near Boston).
