now having problems with my cable ffs, its an official rosstech one aswell. Sorry this function requires a licensed interface, even though it worked on all modes earlier then a little later had restricted the basic settings tab for example which i needed to click to finish my checks.

really didnt think id have all these electrical issues with an Audi thought id let that ****** ship sink with my 306

contact ross tech as you have a genuine cable or pm bearthebruce on the forum

[c-bowie89]

also checked the brake pressure and was within the set parameters -8.0 and +8.0 bar., so assume the switch isnt faulty or completely faulty, might just have to take it in somewhere soon as i need it back on the road just cant afford to shell out for unjustified parts and labour

turns out its not a ross tech cable i have gonna try get my money back fromn the seller on ebay as its useless to me, is direct from ross tech the best option for what i need? dopnt want to be relying on audi at all cant afford

So id be looking around the £250 mark? might be better for me to get someone local or someone with a cable to have a look for me then would be a fair bit cheaper id imagine

Depends if you're planning on keeping the car for a long time or not.

It'll pay for itself after 3 scans.

Just checked my warrantee with the car as I got some gold customer care package with my checked the fine print and looks as though its covered I've just gotta pay the diagnostic charge at £50, they said I could use halfords for the work as they're linked but said next wendsday earliest, I used to work on the bike dept in halfords 10 years back and remember the car dept been pretty **** in reputation and service, however could take it to any garage with a labour rate of up to £47 or so, what would you guys reccomend I'm guessing a strong steer clear of halfords for a start?
