Re: Warning light - what does it mean??

Probably brake light switch sticking, if and when it comes on again see if your brake lights are staying on or one is out. Mine done this before, kicked the brake pedal to the side and has'nt come on since.

Vag-com on Vista

Hi all, can anyone tell me how to set up vag com on Vista, I have software and usb lead but cannot get it to read any controllers. It has worked previously but laptop had to go for repairs and won't work now, I think it is to do with port set up.

Re: tdi poor mpg
