Bit baffled by VCDS tonight. My wife's 1.2 tsi golf went into limp mode and the EPC light came on. When she came in I plugged in VCDS, cleared all the fault codes and then scanned it again. Both times it came up with a repeated pop up saying ".ROD file cannot be found".

Then I get a message saying I should send the scan file to ross tech. This is the message I got. Anyone got any ideas?

Basically Ross-Tech need this info so it can be included in the next update, you will then not see the message.

weird, it's a 2011 Golf and it used to scan just fine. Dunno what they must have done

probably down to the newest version then, I know Ross-tech trimmed back some label files

thanks guys. I've emailed roos tech as per their request, will see what they come back with.

The engine fault seems to have cleared though it did still show up the following

01-Engine -- Status: Malfunction 0010

Thanks Sebastian, I emailed last night, will try to reinstall and then scan tonight. Main thing is the EPC light is off and the var is not in limp mode

I have a similar problem with a Yeti.

We've got this message:

A reinstall sorted it for me

@cpa, try installing the latest Beta and see if that fixes it. We would appreciate getting an Auto-Scan from the vehicle in question as well.

Thank you all... I'll try the last beta then...

The beta version could be doing something wrong on the car, or only could have bugs without dangerous problems??...

12.10.6 is the last one, right?...

Best regards!

We've had a similar discussion here, thats should answer your question.

Yes! absolutely... Thank you!!!

I had a very similar problem last week when I tried to upgrade to the latest version.

My issue was caused by my laptop crashing during the update and it not completing fully.

Uninstal the software, download the latest version and reinstal. All good since then.

A deinstallation shouldn't be necessary, the regular update/upgrade should fix all potential mishaps. Any deinstallation would also wipe your existing log files, so make sure you got backups.
