Diagnostic Scanners

Featured Replies

Hello!

I have a problem with the cruise control on my 2009 1.4 tdi estate.

It has worked fine until this week, now it won't work at all. I have checked the fuse and it's not that.

I have been looking at these diagnostic scanners to hopefully help with the problem:

Tofern Vgate VS450

Blusmart OBD Diagnostic tool

Professional Super VAG505

Foxwell DIY Home use scanner

Autool Xtool VAG401

Does anyone know if they are any good or should I just take the car to a dealer?

Cheers

 

 

Might be worth checking your brake light switch and clutch pedal switch

Thanks for the info. Any idea how to check them without removing from car.

I believe there are two switches on the brake pedal and one on the clutch pedal. If you look at the pivot points of the pedals the switches are mounted there. You will need a multimeter to check the operation as you press each pedal. See if there is a you tube video of VAG brake / clutch switches. Worth checking before diving in! Hope you get it sorted.

Thanks I'll give that a try when the rain stops.

Eventually took it to a local specialist.

The control switch is the problem.

So hopefully it will be back tomorrow, fixed.
