| Does anyone know where you can get a cheap diagnostics kit thing (don't really know what I'm talking about!!) from to detect/reset fault codes, clear service light and mileage adjustment? After one that preferably doesnt need to run through a lap top. Has anyone got one or used one? Are they eary to use? |

| We wouldn't condone mileage adjustment on Briskoda. You can buy handheld code readers fairly reasonably on eBay. VAG-COM (or VCDS as it is now known) is a product of Ross-Tech
