Since I got the tdi VW I have been wanting a Ross-tech VCDS, VAG-COM.

Talked to a buddy with a shop and he said don't, just use his $$$big scanner. Haven't looked at it to see what it is but he says it will do all of the factory codes for VW, Mercedes, etc. Make sure you can reset airbag lights and such as that.

I thought the Passat was going to be a bigger, badder diesel Rabbit. It is but it is a road car and not a utility vehicle. It is an impressive road car. Carries the weight but it seems disrespectful to run it off the road. So the Rabbit gets a clutch and I'll use it instead of Gator or such.
