COMPLETE VCDS Vehicle Scan ~ Save ALL Adaptations!
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 07. 2019
- Before modifying the VW Golf R, we are doing a full vehicle Scan. This VCDS Scan is one of the best VW/Audi scan tools you can buy. In this video I will show you how to do a full scan on a Can-Bus car. This will scan and store all module codings, adaptations, and measured values. We can also save this information to restore later. THIS IS A MUST BEFORE CHANGING OR MODIFYING YOUR CAR! #VCDS #humblemechanic

What do you guys think of this video? More VCDS?
I shall allow it.
keep em coming! its great to get knowledge on how to understand the "computers" in the car.
Great way to CYA! Well done, more VCDS.
As an independent VW/Audi tech I feel like VCDS has so much wealth!
To be honest, as a Tech myself, I think people watch "mechanics channels" on CZcams because they are trying to learn something and save money. So instructional videos of all sorts that you could make would most likely be popular, especially if you cater to the VW/Audi underground/niche Tuner culture.
Channels like 'Scanner Danner' or 'South Main Auto' are some of my favorites because even though I may work in the industry I never stop learning. They're suitable for an Apprentice, Journeyman, or even a DIY backyard mechanic. Good for anybody who wants to learn with some sort of past experience.
Channels like Scotty Kilmer are "lighter" on actual teaching of procedures and diagnostics. They just have auto-basics that are more designed as a general Q+A for people who know little about vehicles. Very entry level in my opinion. Yet still good for the average person and not too confusing.
So yeah! Thumbs up! Knowledge is power! :)
More VCDS info please. As an enthusiast my VCDS has saved my butt many times for my car and friends it is the best tool I've ever bought.
100%!!!!
@@HumbleMechanic can i do this with obd11 or do i need the vag com wire.... sorry new at this got a obd11 coming tom and car is 2010 a4 quatro 2.0 turbo... Ty in advance
@@PeterFeltersnatch852 I am not sure on OBDeleven. I will probably get another one when the iOS comes out.
Where can I buy this software in the UK
@@philipclough1294 obd11 or vcds? Obd11 Pro (BMP tuning), Vcds (Ross tech) ? Google it
Fantastic! More VCDS please! I’m a weekend warrior...and have to re-educate myself constantly, thanks!
This is great. VCDS is something I have lusted after for a while but as an enthusiast, it is more difficult for me to pony up the money. I know it is the gold standard of scan tools for VAG vehicles and one day I will have one. Thanks for the video, it nudged me further into wanting one.
Great video, Charles!
I think it would be awesome to make more VCDS videos, when it comes to software like this you can never have enough correct and useful information on how to use it.
Really crisp-looking video, Charles. Oh, and yes, definitely more VCDS please - it's brilliant but not very user-friendly, so every video helps!
Nice tool, in my car took 90 minutes to do the backup file, with the engine runing (no external battery available) I need more VCDS tutorials and info like this!
Yes! More of these please. Wealth of knowledge to be had here.
Thanks for showing this! Thankfully OBDeleven records some of this stuff automatically too and was able to save my old Mk2 TT when the Bose amp somehow became un-coded (all 0s) and RossTech's guide was incorrect for my car.
Excellent tutorial! Would love to see more VCDS, and how to use measure value blocks to do real life troubleshooting.
Great Video. Just looking forward to watch more of these and learn more about diagnostics!
Coding full scan and saving results is also important in case any of the modules with coding fail. When you have the original coding saved, installing a spare part and re-entering the same coding get things work easily just as they were working originally.
Thanks a lot for the walkthrough. I am about to take delivery of my first VW and have been using EFI Live on my Holden, so your insight is most welcome.
Would love some more VCDS videos as I just placed an order for an enthusiast Ross Tech cable.
Really appreciate you Sir for sharing this information.
I feel more confident scanning my Touareg now.
Wow wow wow, lol. Been going down the rabbit hole on your channel. Just became a “new to me” VW New Beetle Convertable owner. Been learning a lot on your channel. Can’t thank you enough. Hope I can get the top working very soon. Still learning a lot.
Thanks Charles this one helped me a lot!!
More vcds videos!!! I went to run an adaptation on a 2020 q3 the other day and found out the hood needs to be open for it to run correctly. I’ve done plenty of other vw/ Audi and never had to do that.
Sure, more VCDS. Very interesting. Would like to see similar actions for Mk5 - Mk6 too. Thanks!
Heck yes! This video gives me more confidence to run my new HEX-V2 dongle on my '04 Phaeton V8. Keep 'em coming.
Brilliant and very helpful VCDS videos, thanks.
Good stuff. Keep up the good work. Would also like to see VCDS info for MK6 & MK5.
Yes please more VCDS content.
Awesome - love your vcds videos.
Great info! Thanks
So happy mine works again
Yes you need a vcds series. I am dealing with a Audi A8l Adaptive Cruise Control recalibration issue Need need to know if i need to set security setting first before recalibration.
good work very helpful thanks☺👍
I have VCDS, I love VCDS. Even for my 16 year old wagon it works wonders
It’s the best thing ever. I got it to do recoding if some modules on my b5 a4, (has swapped tranny and an ecu from tunes 2004 passat) no problems at all anymore!
VCDS is a great bit of kit. It does all the needs for transmissions.
my car is a VW Polo gp tsi 1.2 Highline 2016 81kw Dsg 7sp. please assist can an aftermarket car key affect basic settings or coding of mechatronic to the car, I took in my car at VW here in South Africa for Repairs as it was only engaging gear 2,4,6 R only they replaced mechatronic and selector fork for 6&R, then they say they can't remove error transmission alert ⚠️ an they can't code the mechatronic because one of my keys is non vw guinea factory key? do I really have to buy new key 🔑 or any other solution. now the car drives fine but it still got error Transmission alert and when I take my car to guys with scanners they say the mechatronic is not communicating with the car or gearbox?
Yes more Vag-Com/VCDS vids please.
Excellent video very helpful/informative for newbies too👏 I’m new to this, after the scan (50 minutes scanning) there was no “save button”
which folder is the complete vehicle scan saved in please?
I want to email it to myself for safe keeping…Thanks
Yes Please more VCDS
Great info.i hope I will get hex net but still saving.
Very nice!!!!
I love my VCDS/Vagcom, I used to use it for everything not under warranty and not keys.
NICE!
Hi, awesome review, What happens when an additional key has been added to the IMMO and a total codding restoration is done?
This would of been good to know before I got my MK7 GTI lease. I've done so many little tweaks over the last 3 years returning it back to 'stock' is going to be a PITA but not sure how much they check that on lease turn in.
buy this instead of obdeleven.
How about a video on clutch adapations for the DSG, as well as syncing the K1 and K2 clutches. Been looking into this for the 0B5 DL501 DSG in my 16' S6. Getting some jerking from a complete stop, looked into it and it could be the adapation for the clutch engagements. Going to do a fluid swap, and will be resetting these. Now a question on that. A lot of the DIY's show to use basic settings to do this reset. I notice though there is an adaptation menu option, so why not reset it there? Love the videos! Thank you!
You are the best Amazing i been looking through Amazon so much for the equipment prices and safe,
i was just about to type Amazon
instead of typing amazing hhhhhh
Just got my copy of VCDS and controller. First thing I did was follow this video. Ran a scan and found that the auto wiper / headlight module was unplugged. After that I did the controller channel map and saved it. Good to know I have a good baseline for whatever else may occur.
Ty. Love your videos. Now i have to remove a light that is on but wasn't on before :)
Got my vcds last week for my Gti... tweaked everything I could.... Now you tell me that I should saved the stock data... Dang! car still in warranty...
Good warning most people do not mention a well ventilated area .
Not even websites where you can grab firmware updates .
Excellent 💪
More VCDS please!
Hi! Do ya have any idea how to adapt a new intake manifold gasket plus Sensor on audi a4 b8 2.0 tdi? Im still getting the same error p2015.. thanks great video
Just when I thought I couldn’t like Charles more, he drops a Ryan George reference. Nice
Thumbs up for Pitch Meeting quote!
Yesssss.
❤ thank you.
100% agree VCDS is a must for any VAG enthusiast. Whoever says this tool is expensive has no idea about the value it brings. I would say this tool is way under priced for what it does. Not sponsored :-) , just a genuine fan
I have been saying it's underpriced forever! BTW, this video is not sponsored at all. I want to support those guys for all they do for VW/Audi community.
More VCDS please!!!
Just started using Vcds a bit late in life I think for me but don’t stop me trying to use
U r the coolest
Still haven't even gotten a VCDS, debating on OBD-11 since I only have a 98 A4 and need to do a TBA at some point.
Way interested!!!!!
Hell yeah! Please do.
Hi HumbleMechanic,
i watched your video about saving all adaptations and that you are able to put them back when u did something wrong with the coding, do u also have a video where u show to how to put the adaptation back?
Also you saved the file as pre-label file (or you have the possibility to save it as CSV file or Raw Hex). Raw Hex is the only file u can use to restore Adaptations, why not save it immediately and always as a Raw Hex file?
Thank u very much and awesome video about VCDS, very helpful, hope to see more video's coming.
It would be nice to see more basic, advanced, expert and super super super expert coding, tips and tricks video's.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Nick
Have an 05 touareg v8 with a battery drain issue. I can hear a relay clicking up above the steering column. I've got the radio out, the lower dash out, the instrument cluster out, the climate controls out. I'm having trouble getting the upper black relay block out to test those relays. Have checked the lower 2 sets of relays. What I can't get out I wish I could send you a photo of to get a possible idea of what I may need to do. I took the 1 screw out, but above and towards the steering wheel there is a piece of the holder that attaches to a metal support bracket. That's where I'm stuck and I hope at least part of this makes sense...lol
Would love a coding vid on removing brake pad sensors light 👍
I just posted one on Instagram for coding that out on mk4/b5
Way interested in vcds vids
So are you doing 2 deep scans one where you check the Can button at the top the measured values and the one below it and save it to a text file and then a second scan same perameters and save it to hex file raw.
I understand you need the hex file for a restore but what parameters are you selecting when you do the hex dump
And the videos are great I am new to vw and vcds so as I resolve some issues I am working my way through learning
Would really like to see the Adaptation or Cold Test that's done when a bad Mag Shock is replaced with a new factory OEM Mag Shock. :-)
Thx
thank
HumbleMechanic I have a sport differential fault on a '12 s4. Oil Pressure and Temp sensor needs replacing. Dealer says it needs to be adapted after swapping out for about 1k. Would restoring this scan after replacing it count as adaption?
Hey! If I were to get a custom tune done on my car would all that be saved as well with this vcds procedure? My friend has the exact same car and I want to save my adaptations to his car
do you have a video/tutorial of an instrument cluster swap on a 2013 vw jetta
Doing this tomorrow on uk 2014 Octavia mk3 2.0tdi DSG, got a problem with rain & humidity sensor, which I’ll be replacing so will be hoping the new sensor doesn’t need coding, but I need this backup 1st off.
Hello HumbleMechanic, hello commentators! First time user here. Just finished with a 1st time scan via Controller Channel Map on a 2008 VW Touareg 4.2 FSI V8. It took 2 hours with the engine running. Questions: normal time for such operation? And where can i find the backup file (.hex ?) under Win10 pro installation? Any ideas welcome. Thanks.
yes more VCDS for the basic home VW owner for trouble shooting and improving our VW
VCDS ist amazing. I have it but don't know how to get max benefits from it. Can you point me to a video that is as comprehensive as possible, please @HumbleMechanic ?
Stay tuned. I am going to be doing a series I think. Starting at the basics and working up to advanced.
More VCDS please.
Hello Humble ..I own a 2008 VW Touareg 4.2 I just repalced headlight and need to adjust all setting and coding do you know where I can find the access Codes for the modules this is my on my hurdle ..thanks your help most 👍🏽 appreciated love your vids
Interesting, can you recommend a vcds scanner, it must be able to execute a forced dpf regen, and check Def system. Thanks
Hello there. Loving the vids. Just a question plz. I am planning on coding my drl lights brightness via 09 central electrics . Before I do this, in order for me to backup my existing/factory coding for central electrics/drl When I go into coding 07 after selecting 09 crntral electrics. There is a section there that says current coding and has the long code. If I just copy that current coding code on txt before I adjust the drl and if sonething goes wrong, if I want to reenable to back to factory do I just go back into 09 central electrics, and 07 coding and then paste the current code I copied earlier into the blank box and hit do it, and that should restore back to factory/prior to adjusting drl?
If we forgot to save a raw hex prior to any changes, can the pre label file be converted in any way?
Hi! Im planning on switching a canbus gateway to a newer one on my Golf mk5 so i can install a newer infotainment system and i read that i need to recode the new gateway. The problem is i dont feel qualified enough to do it. Will this method work instead of doing the coding on the new gateway? Thanks in advance!
I'm just an Audi tt enthusiast. But it's an older model. (2001). But I have the cable and software that I recently purchased. If possible, it'd be great if you could make a video on what are the important functions which are available on these older model vehicles. For someone like me, who just started using the software, this would be a big help.
Thanks
That’s a solid idea. The older cars can’t do nearly as much
Good stuff. Have VCDS for over 10 years and didn’t know about this. Will be doing this tomorrow on my MK7 GTiI after the 120k oil change. Thanks a bunch. Not too many sites out there to go on to and get good deep dive VCDS info anymore ever since OBD11 came out. So again thanks for the info.
Can you please help me with setting up my rvc cam to work with reverse gear and reverse lights to come on when i reverse for my mk7 2015 1.4 comfortline please.
Hey, so I recently got a second car as a toy/project but know nothing about cars. I was looking at diagnostic tools and saw another video of yours for the obdeleven. Would that (with pro) still have the same type of coding, or is a vcds computer plugin type of one be better/worth the money more? I literally just got obdeleven
Did it no luck with the Touareg I've been twisting my brain can't get the valve body solenoids to shift properly only happens after vehicle warms up you would never know first 15 minutes driving the vehicle
2005 VW Touareg 4.2 all work done by owner until now stock someone out there please help
Do you know if VCDS can increase the park light brightness on a 2011 VW CC
Just getting into VCDS. I mainly bought to check the chain wear on my 08' 3.6 wagon. HELP!! Is it the same process like you showed for the 2.0T or do i need to look in another place??? More VCDS on R32
just out of curiosity do the dealers use this same tool? also what is the vacuum pump on a 2.0 2008 Passat Sportwagen turbo? said that vacuum pump is leaking oil bad.
Hi, i have an audi a3 8p 2007 dsg with electronic steering wheel assistance and this assistance sometimes gets stiff sometimes it gets smooth as butter.. basic vcds diag shows 0 error on steering wheel.. do you have any idea from where this problem come from please?
Hello how are you
I bought a Tiguan 2013 model of 1400cc from Japan can you please help me with the process of making the side mirrors fold with the key?
Would love for you to do some VW ODIS Diagnostics
ODIS gets tricky. Vw doesn’t technically like you to share that stuff
I have several stored codes that I NEED to keep stored. Vehicle goes into the shop in about a month. And, if there are no stored codes, warranty will not replace anything. :D However, I want to make sure I get a backup in the event something goes pear shaped. Will deep scanning clear the stored codes? Need to make sure they stay exactly where they are.
Does it work for UDS protocol of Audi A7?
hey man, just wondering if you have any experience with the LUK clutch kits? Have a vr6 24V and found a killer deal on a dual mass kit from them. Thanks
LUK clutch kits are really good. We use them in our shop for all VW and Audi groups.
Can you make a video for cars without canbus for example passat 96-01 and golf and so on ?
I did the battery tender method with my 2013 Audi Q7. The scan took about an hour.
just did my 2009 GTI with HEX-V2 cable w/battery tender hooked up:
OUTPUT CVS: 35 .CVS files, 135kb total, 52mins
OUTPUT RAW: 18 .CVS files + 17 .PLB files, 68kb total, 52mins
All files saved to C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Logs
I think this is a great video and idea! How big was this file for your car. Look at the property of the file in windows. That will show size of file. Keep up the good work.
Good Question. Once I get to my laptop I will check. I think it was small. You are just saving numbers really. LOL
It will be separate files for each control module, but it is pretty much simple text data, so each file size is small. Just to give an example, on my work computer here I have just over 600 Auto-Scans and the total is 12.6MB.
RossTechVCDS thanks, was curious because then you could ask a owner to bring a new flash drive and copy to it encase there not near there normal mechanic, they have a problem ask if the person has Ross scan toll they can compare the new to the old. I’m still learning about your software, I’m very impressed with it. Thanks Mike.
My Gf just bought a 2006 audi a3 I ran Computer through it and not 1 fault. That has to be a 1st for audi 😂
Charles, I have a 2014 Audi SQ5, TDI...lovely car...but....rough start and initial idle....then it's fine. Except seems to be idling or all go ...once you accelerate.....and with this engine...that's a lot of go power..when you just want to turn a corner. I have VCDS, initially no faults...I thought it must be a MAF or vacuum leak. Doesn't appear so and next thing I get a intake manifold flap , Bank 1 stuck closed , fault. I know you can't fix it without more info...but what's the process you use to find the "real" problem.
I don't want to buy a heap of bits and find I'm way off on diagnosis.....appreciate if you ca help. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺.
how can I read the adaptations from the CSV? I want to see what the values where for engine group 111.
Hi. I was wondering if you could help? I have a 2016 Audi A5 3.0 TDI and having adblue problems. I'm trying to find out how to test the adblue pump pressure using the VCDS scan.
Is it possible for you to make a video on using ODIS.
