Thanks @dazza   

Why the HEX over the Micro, any reason?

Micro will cover your Mk5 http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/VCuCAN.html
HEX is backward compatible http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/VCHUC.html

No idea mate i just bought the hex as its what most people in the VCDS register have. 

But the ross tech site lists the micro for enthusiasts and the hex for professional use.

Micro does not cover as many models but covers the mk5, does not have turbo mode which is handy for logging. Dont think it would have worked with my seat alhambra 98 so it was handy i got the hex.

Hi Danny.

Hopefully not but all part of playing (modding) with cars. Luckily enough I have my mighty V reg 1.6 Pug 206 XL to keep me on the roads....

God it's a weapon, I'd be amazed if it has 75 bhp. im not posting a pic, can't be doing with all the piss taking!!

Hope you get it back in shape soon and that it's nothing serious.

Hops its nothing too bad and she's back to full strength quickly and relatively cheaply   

One of my fave ED30's for sure.

Not yet, they can't look at it until Thursday, they are busy building/modifing playing with a Porsche 911 track car.

Ok,fingers crossed it's nothing serious

She's back at home and all is well. PCV and Lambda sensor FUBAR. £450 for the scan, the parts and the labour............and people ask me why I make a 200 mile round trip to see Alex at AKS! 

[dan930]

You joking mate...£450 

[MC71]

^^^^ I know.   

That's what happens when my local VW Dealer won't deal with modified cars and the nearest place to me that will is a Porsche specialist. Ive learnt my lesson and will order a VCDS now.......just need to learn how it works!

Plenty of vcds owner,users on here ready to help.

Glad the mistress is back on the road. 

£450 

VCDS is the way forward maybe a small tool kit would be handy.
