Why you should use vag-com to re-set the Throttle body

[seatcupra2001]

was it advertised as the full version?

if it was then I would understand your frustration, but if its not, then you knew what you were buying at the time....

yea cause there where 1's for a £10 but there where share ware 1's

If someone is selling genuine Ross Tech products and they are not genuine full versions, then the person is trading illegally

just checked my vagcom clicked "about" it says fully regerstered/activated does this mean i got the full version?

No

I have an "activated" version but it sure ain't the full version

Done the alignment today on mine with my Vagcom, haven't cleaned it though as the parts dept at both my local Audi and VW dealers were closed. I think it was out by about 0.4%, has sorted out my car hunting on idle and drives better too. Will be cleaning it next weekend, to see what crap is lurking

I've reset mine using the Liquid Gauge, is that the same as the VAG COM does anyone know?

 

[cuprastupot]

cleaned and reset using the liquid gauge. before it was idling very roughly (rev needle jumping)

and when acclerating softly it was hesitant and dump at random times -

now it is smooth all the way, much better.

if we cant afford VAG-COM will diconnecting the battery for 30 mins suffice?

Here's a vid of what happens when you do a TBA with vag-com. Done after cleaning the TB..

Is it worth removing the Throttle body to do the cleaning or just leave it on? New gaskets will be required when re-fitting i presume?!

Yes, same procedure.

Plug in, ignition on, LEAVE THROTTLE ALONE.
Open controller 1 Engine
Open basic settings
Go to channel 060 and then GO

Leave for 30 seconds before disconnecting.

vag-com?

Hi, i have only bought my leon cupra last week, and i dont know loads about cars. This vag-com looks pretty good. Where can you get it done? or is it something you do yourself?

 

[LEE69]

You can buy it yourself http://www.ross-tech.com/distributors.html or ask in the vag com section if anyone is local and will do it

 

[funkydrummer]

just a thought, ive also got a VW transporter. Should it work on that aswell?

 

[LEE69]

Check the vehicles covered to be sure.

 

[funkydrummer]

ok, thanks for your help.
