I think you will find vag-com.co.uk have gone bust.

Go to ross-tech direct, very good fast service, even if you do get humped buy customs charges from the courier :(

X3MC
RS3 Saloon
RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp

www.vag-com.co.uk took £260 of mine and I have nothing to show for it. The rotten dirty mother (*&%*&^%$(&)*^%$!(&^%"£)(*^&)*%^£"!$%.

JBR performance who are supposed to supply the product did try help for a while but I think got sick of my nagging and now are also ignoring my requests for help.

I would say dont buy from vag-com.co.uk - but they dont exist anymore, so goes without saying.

PS: Vagcom.co.uk is separate and were very helpful when I called them.

Best buy it at source - only takes a few days from US and even with duty will be cheaper than a Uk supplier.

Your unlikely to get one off Ebay either - dont think iv ever seen a genuine one on there.
