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 ??

Yes i understand this.

yes that is all there is to it.a bit steep i no but not many people have the kit,if it was me i would buy the programme and have a bash yourself, then when you get rid of the car you can still sell the programme on, but just to make you aware that the activation code you get with VOLFCR is for that laptop. if you then want to transfer it say to another you have to deactivate it which gives you a code you then have to go to the supplier to get another activation code this stops copying.

Yes a lot of things are like this now (I'm an IT professional).

I am very tempted to have a go myself.

Have you any pics of the pulley where the adjustment takes place (car is still at garage so cant peek).

Also what kind of cable are you interfacing to vol-fcr with ?? I have just edited the above post, would that vag-com cable work ??

I notice that there are various versions of vol-fcr too, one for FTDI chip, one for serial and one for VAG-COM cable, what is the difference between the FTDI and VAG-COM one, AFAIK the link to the vag-com cable above is an FTDI chip based one ?

Also when you buy a copy do you get all 3 or do you have to choose one specific one ?

I wish to god you were NEARER to me (Blackpool) ...Bri @Jumpleads would do it fer NOWT ... as Mike said 5 Min Job (if you go & switch the kettle on in between setting it up ) .....


NOTE********

The D5252T engine only reaches TDC (top Dead Centre) every SECOND revolution if you dont get it at TDC you'll be a Country MILE Away on the timing .... (well 180 Degrees Actually but you know what I mean )
