tappers Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I am pretty new to all this VAG com thing I have a lead that I plugged into my 2001 Passat and it connected ok doing the test and was ok, but I now have a 1999 Audi A6 and while it seems to find the port it always says the interface is not found Have I got the wrong lead or software or am I possibly doing something else wrong ?

PetrolDave Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 What lead do you have, where do you buy it from? And what version of VAG-COM are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tappers Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 The lead was given to me by a mate, so not sure of any other details of it, just that he said he had another and I could have it. The version says 607.3-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Try downloading the latest shareware version of VAG-COM from the Ross Tech website here. Try version 311.2 first and if that works then try version 409.1. If your lead isn't a genuine Ross Tech one then that may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tappers Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I will download that and give it a try when I get home. If the problem is with the lead is there a way of getting another one without spending a fortune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicknick Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I got a lead from ebay following a recommendation off here. It's only the shareware version and cost me about £15. It works fine on my 1998 A6 so for the money I'm more than happy ( recognising that as it's shareware not everything is activated ..but it allowed me to change the things I wanted to and reports fault codes which is all I needed ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tappers Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Do the leads vary alot for different makes? Annoyingly I now cannot find my damn lead!! I had it only recently but must be somewhere in my house which is a bit of a mess at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
