is that all there is to it ???

how come places want nearly £120 then, if it only sounds like a 5 minute job ???

I am consemplating having it done for me if i can find somewhere, or buying a copy of vol-fcr and doing it myself with a usb VAG-COM cable ? At least then I can do it again if need be.

I've heard reports that this cable works with vol-fcr ??
