I'm looking to get myself VCDS for doing things like scanning for faults etc. I've read through here, but would like an expert to confirm before I shell out hard cash.

2009 59-plate Octavia 1.8 Elegance.

I would need, from Gendan :

VCDS (VAG-COM) HEX-USB+CAN Interface Package

Or is there a lower cost cable? I know to avoid the ebay knock-offs.

Thanks

Micro-CAN works too.

That's the cost of a few pints saved.
