|  VAG.com South Bedfordshire I recently forked out tens of pounds at my local garage to have a sticky turbo valve code cleared on my late 2001 OctyI 4X4 and be told to wait and see what develops. Can anyone recommend a cheap way to be able to do this for myself (I have computer, so just need cable and s/w)? I do not want the very latest, just something that gives me basic checking, so perhaps a clone cable would do. Any advice gratefully received. In the mean time, could anyone in the Luton area with a cable etc. do a check for me, as the wretched engine warning lamp has just come on again after three weeks! |

| Re: VAG.com South Bedfordshire ifyou just want to clear codes, a shareware copy of VAGCom version 3.12 and a cable off of ebay should suffice for a mk1 octy. It will also work with the mk1 Fabia and Mk1 Superb. If you want to do more at a later date it will cost $99 for the licence It will not work with the MK2 Octy and superb not sure on Mk2 Fabia and Roomster
