VCDS is it worth paying for full version for amateur spanner jockey and where from? or/ vs Autel mk808 etc

Featured Replies

Have a basic obd2 software on my laptop in conjuction with an Elm cable lead. not tried it on VRS yet.

Did have a cheap Bay of E , VCDS lead and basic version of VCDS but gave it away rather stupidly with an Audi A4 convertible i sold this year🤪

So now wondering the above, dont know if my current lead will work with VCDS??

 

Along side this im pondering Buying a scan tool, and wondering if i can justify buying something like the Autel mk808  as they are not exactly cheap for an amatuer .

if you're planning on working on your car (servicing, upgrading parts or general 'fiddling about') then getting a ross tech lead for VCDS or the equivalent OBD eleven type tool, it may be worth it.

 

If you're just wanting to give the car a once over, make sure it's OK and that's about it, you may be better checking the VCDS Owners page and ask someone on there to assist you.
