i'll see how i get on with the iCarsoft, if it doesn't work out then i'll get and OBDeleven, just don't like the idea of having to buy an item then have to pay again to use it, i am a sad git that runs a diagnostic on my cars at least once a month.

so the obdeleven pro, do you have to pay a subscription? i thought i read somewhere that you have to pay to use it? that's why i went for the iCarsoft, i litterally need it to know exactly what is wrong with it. Cheers Tony

Found it.

Yes I have them...... what is a vag option decoder?

i'm used to the iCarsoft equipment so i have bought myself a iCarsoft VAWS V2.0 - For AUDI Professional Diagnostic Tool, £136.00 from eBay.

ok, i have been reading up the articles on code readers OBDeleven, OBDeleven next gen, vcrs...... can anyone tell me the the easiest one to use?, i do not do any work on my every day cars they always go into main dealers for work to be done, but i would like to be able to take it in knowing what the problem is rather than having a £3000 bill for changing a mechanical part when it was really just a sensor.... (never trust a Mercedes dealer) cheers Tony

Morning all, I have an 08 Le Mans, how do I find out what equipment it came with please and if it had any extras added. Thanks Tony.

It also appears that my parking sensors are not working either, need to find someone who can plug it in and tell me what's wrong with it.

thanks, yes i am 99% happy with it, air con does not work and the wheels could do with an overhaul, just managed to pair my phone with the car but cannot for the life of me work out how to put all my phone number into the car.

Just got home with it, too dark to take photos, but here are the ebay photos.

I used to be the chairman of the Ford Cortina mk2 owners club, still have a classic car no longer got mk2 Cortina's I have a 1964 Ford Consul Classic.

I have been into cars and car clubs for way too many years. I started out in a car club as there was no Internet (well it had only just started) I was the chairman of a club and we all complained about the members leaving to join these new forum things.... then we joined them too, then it all happened again people started to disappear over to that face ache page and the forum that was once so busy you couldn't keep up with the posts is luck to get 10 post a day, it's as some would say progress, personally I loved the old pub meets, meet up before shows, travelling in convoy ..... yes with cb radios. I feel old. Oh it's my second post, don't know how long I will be here I've heard there's yet another technical advancement coming. Thank you all (in advance) for your advice which I dare say I will need. Tony

train tickets bought, price agreed, off to pick up a 2008 A6 today, won't put too many deatails yet as the car is still advertised until i hand over payment, i will upload some photos (probably tomorrow) once i have it. on my past cars (jaguar & Mercedes) i used an icarsoft scanner, any recomendations for a scanner on the 2008 A6 at all please? thanks Tony
