Maybe your canbus is f***ed if it doesn't answer the VCDS. - You do turn on the ignition when you connect the cable right?

I can get some pics tomorrow, the lead i use was just a cheap one off ebay, i used to use the same lead on my mk4 gti, dident have any problems, and yes, the ignition is on when trying to scan, i can scan the engine module, but any of the others just time out

Post by: Christiank on May 11, 2017, 08:33:30 am: Yeah would also say it's the cable or the canbus there isn't working.

The can bus can get toasted, I know from expience.. But it's not likely that this is the problem with you.

Source someone out with a genuine cable and try get them to scan and see if the problem is still there.. If it is - Then i got a "AM" revison canbus you can buy ;)
