Help with Vag Com Cable & Connection

I had a genuine serial cable and had this problem 5-6 years ago. I had a box full of USB<->Serial adapters to go at. I could only get one to work (a philips chipset one that always works with absolutely everything).

I did a quick check and there are FTDI chipset adapters on eBay but I can't recommend one.

The first thing I would do is check is the serial Ross-tech lead is working by using it on a mate's computer.

Ross-tech operates an interface upgrade scheme - it's not cheap but it does mean you end up with a USB lead that is supported.

Kodiaq iV PHEV battery capacity vs Charge level?

Satbeginner · Tuesday at 15:461 day

Hi all, a question: We enjoy having a 2025 Skoda Kodiaq iV PHEV. In last year's software update, you can now choose (and it is recommended) to have the maximum charge level automatically reset to 80% after a charge. We only charge to 100% occasionally if we know we have to travel further the next day, and then the car automatically resets it to 80% for the next charge so that it never stays at 100% for long, as that would be bad. Our specific question regarding our Kodiaq (and therefore also r

Generally, i dont like to be one of those people to open up another topic that has been exhausted time and time again, but after extensive research, i really am struggling to find a forum response that matches fully with my issue. I brought my 1.2 tsi 2016 CJZD Rapid earlier this year. As soon as I picked up the car, i noticed the issue, but the garage i purchased it from had wiped their hands clean. Since then, i have been trying to research and diagnose the issue without throwing the parts c

2023 Fabia issues (heater fan resistors, fuel flap, reverse light, brake light)

briscaF1 · Tuesday at 15:221 day

Hi, Partner acquired this 2023 1.0 Fabia last year. So far, the resistor pack for the fan has packed (!) up and the actuator for the fuel flap needed replacing. These were done under warranty. She's had the car back from its MOT and warranty work and now there's a light on the dash saying "check brake lights." The light on the nearside is out and there's only one reversing light, on the offside. Are the rear lights all LED? No bulb I can change? If it is a bulb, how do I get to it? Are th

Camber adjustment

smithysmoo · 1 hour ago1 hr

So had both rear control arms replaced as the bolt was seized so I couldnt get the tracking done..now the tracking place say they can't get the camber inside spec because there is no adjustment for that and it will be OK as toe is good now.. Have attached the results.. Is the camber adjustment not this bolt in the pic..(which stands a chance is seized aswell)

Fabia Scout Specific Parts

Dazstap · 17 hours ago17 hr

Hello all, I am looking for advice from the hive mind please. We have a 2012 Fabia Scout and it needs new shocks, maybe rear springs too. Most places list these items, but they are the standard Fabia items, and I believe that the Scout has a slightly different spec suspension. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the correct items please? Many thanks in advance for advice received. Darren
