On a work colleagues car we found a hose the same diameter as the filler nozzle and poked that in first, cant see it being anything other than a mechanical interlock.

Sadly I don't think there is a one size fits all tool but to be fair of the 4 I have I've not really had any major issues with connecting.

Bi directional means you can control things to test them ie send an electric window up and down to test the motor is ok. It is a nice feature to have but you would probably never use it. Topdon do seem a very good option and are very reasonably priced, free updates would swing me to be honest.

Just put some grease on there, its as good as anything.

Seems odd but ive no experience with that tool. Does it communicate if you go in through the EOBD menu rather than VAG specific?

There are some good locksmiths about so id ask their advice, sounds like nonsense to me but you never know. There is an interesting one i watch that pops up on Facebook and its amazing what they can do.

The update prices can be a deal breaker really if its just light diy use so if you could get free uodates that makes a big difference. Obviously you dont have to update most tools for them to continue working. I have a Foxwell and an Icarsoft and my dad has an Autel, they are all pretty good to...

The Topdon stuff is ok, id take a punt on it personally.

All sorted now was a straightforward swap.

Just revisiting this as ive got to change a Nest for a Hive today on the father in laws Baxi duotec 33 and just a question regarding step 2 above. I would have wired L, N and E to Hive and boiler from fused spur and then BK2 to Hive common and BK1 to Hive terminal 3. Just wondered why it...

Id look at new, ive read they are practically trying to give some away, not looked into it myself though.

You will probably never get it to run clear. Just refill with the correct coolant and move on.

A floppy knob is never very good. Get back in touch with the garage, looks like they have not put it back together correctly.

Just google Vw twin fakra connector and see if something matches.

The Amazon stuff worries me as i believe they are all clones, they may work fine but i dont think i could ever risk buying one from there. Gendan are very good to be fair, i have a foxwell tool and its been very good. I like the look of the Topdon stuff too which ive seen some respected...

Certainly sounds like some suitable strengthening may be required, try some simple things first such as a strut brace/s.

Maybe have a look on Ali Baba for a repair kit, it's where most of these originate from.

Normally these are throw away type units, sorry i cant help much.

Looks well mullered now! Usually there will be a release tab to press to enable it to be parted, a small screwdriver may be needed now to act as a lever to release it if that tab is broken. May be easier to cut it off and properly crimp some connectors on there. Id have cut it off within seconds...
