I had that too, but it's so long ago I can't remember how it got sorted But it would have to have been something simple... Not all VAG cables work properly. I struggled for ages with one of the black ones, then in desperation got a blue one, and all was fine. So that may have been it. Only other thing I can think is making sure the COM Port in Device Manager matches the one in Toaf @Vitesse recommends this one (even though it's not blue ) and he generally knows about such things...

If you want a tech solution from a Mac user forget about strange Windows things like device managers, just keep plugging it into different ports until you find the one that works and mark it with a crayon Keep well |

You can sort the vast majority of ABS faults with a voltmeter.

Sadly, for me, memory is thing of the past. At least I think it was. You did install the drivers OK? You should have these: Quote:
Seem to remember Brian isn't a fan of TOAF, so pretend you've never heard of it tell him I said hello

Your worries are now over, soon you will know the problem and can get it dealt with remind Brian you have plugged TOAF into your car, before he hooks up his T4 as in the past it as caused him lots of grief.

Hi Mike. Yes that is correct, the person had i think soldered or joined the wiring in the OBD, i was just pointing out to remind Brian as he likes to know if TOAF as been connected he can then ask if anything else as been done to the port etc

Had a wonderful couple of hours with Brian who is as caring and selfless as always. Thorough T4 session and driving test. Front passenger side sensor U/S. Have ordered a new one from DMGRS.
Thanks for all your help. Ali.
