Does VCDS HEX-V2 support rear brake change on Kodiaq

[ErikN]

Hi

 

I have tried to search for this topic.

 

I have a Skoda Kodiaq 2.0TDi 150hk.

I need to change rear brake pads and rotors and open the rear brakes with a diagnosis tool.

I already have iCarsoft VAG2, but get the message "This function is not supported for this vehicle" when trying the caliper options. Worked fine with earlier VW Passats.

 

So I have decided to buy a Ross tech VCDS HEX 2 3VIN original cable.

Will this product support opening and closing the rear brakes? I know it most likely will support it, but my car part dealers web page informs that my car does not support this product..

I also hope this tool can be used to register/tune in a new car battery with the system. 

 

Thanks for any help!

Erik.

Yes to both questions. As I'm looking at the same VCDS HEX2 3 Vin.

Thanks for your reply Simon!

Just want to add for others who are also new to using VCDS.

When I connected the cable to the Kodiaq and tried to go to "53 - parking brake" I got an error message.

I was concerned that the cable did not work with the Kodiaq brake system.

But found out that this function is controlled from "03 - ABS brakes".
