Please do more videos on VCDS! Great tool and would like to learn it myself.

I'm sitting here in the UK with my brand new VCDS package, hunting through this box of tricks like Felix the Cat.

This is crucial viewing, thanks so much for the uploading this, the depth this reaches is unreal !..

Think I'll be referring to this tomorrow..

Would love to see a series of vcds videos, a complete series would probably be unattainable I’m sure but over time you could have an amazing collection. Great video as always

[keltecshooter]

Almost 30 years in the field and aways learning, nice video

[HumbleMechanic]

Hope you guys are enjoying the VCDS videos. What else should we cover?

[AMS_KustomDipz]

Videos like this are great, as the vcds experts on various pages look down on newcomers like we're nothing as we don't know as much, but they was in our position once! 🤷‍♂️

I did it. I paid my dues and just ordered a RossTech VCDS. Now I’m here to learn what I can. I found the 2016 Passat that I leased brand new, for sale, and I bought it. I was so upset that I had to adult and turn this car back in. We couldn’t afford two payments and needed something bigger for the family so we leased a ‘19 Atlas. So I got my baby back and she needs some TLC. I’m sure that my wife’s ‘14 Jetta is going to be happy about it as well. Thanks for the video brother!

You are my HERO for making this! I was one of (the many?) subscribers Who’d requested a “dumbed-down VCDS video. This is SO PERFECT because now I can take the elementary knowledge & apply it to your more advanced/ thorough videos on VCDS.🤓🎉😃 YAY!!!
PS I finally got my Touareg back from the headliner / body shop. The former owner (May he Rest In Peace) got COVID before he could do any of the work. I may have the new guys fix her body up! Meanwhile- VCDS here I come!!

That was great I got a couple of things from this video that I did not know, the more VCDS videos the better. keep them coming.

[gmcjetpilot]

I got my Ross Tech rVCDS in 2011 for my JSW TDI. I have used it many times. It may sit for a year but then I use it. Priceless!!! It paid for itself many times over.

[concrescentone]

loved it Charles. Any new VCDS videos would be greatly appreciated by the community I'm sure.

[Lonniea]

There are very few videos like this that show everything you did. Most all videos are single little functions. I would love to see more about the measuring blocks and output testing. I’ve never used the graph function but now I know how. Thank you.

Very nice Charles. I would add that Ross-Tech has a very good customer support network. Once you register your cable you can participate in the forums and questions are usually addressed in a reasonable time frame.

[asablack]

You and Diresta are the only two on Youtube that I don’t have to speed up to 1.75X. Thanks for that, love these videos.

[vintagebikewurx]

VCDS is awesome. It almost uses itself because it's so intuitive. And the Ross tech wikis are excellent. This tool helps sort out the convoluted cluster f that is vw diagnostics.

[troyboy]

Dude I’ve had my unlimited Vin vcds cable for like 3yrs and haven’t used it yet because I know I wouldn’t have a clue as to what I am doing. Please make more tutorials on VCDS! Thanks man you rock!

[stefanczechorskidds]

Yes, please continue the VCDS tutorials. Thank you!

[xain]

My VCDS kit just arrived today, thanks for making this video, I feel like I learnt a lot from watching it.

hand brake on keeps daytime running lights off on certain countries also. I did the change to the throttle linear over time mod on a TDI.. 100% improvement. The Ross-Tech forum is handy as well. and the tech support is the best.

[bumantoo]

More vcds vids plz! I am in the middle of purchasing my first VW- 2009 Touareg R50 - and I am trying to learn all I can on diy maintenance to save some cash.
