Vag-Com (eBay) cable

[Ady TDI]

So as I am having a couple probs with the car, and I cant afford the real deal at the mo, I thought I would get this cable from ebay :

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290930019045?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

After having trouble with the com port, I managed to get that working, I can scan the engine fine and for some reason it says no faults (my mate scanned with his snap on scanner and showed an EGR fault) my cable will also scan the radio, and instrument, but anything else I try and scan I get an "No response from controller" message

Anyone had this and know a fix ?

try going to the options screen of vag com and put a buad of 9600 instead of 0 and click apply!

Clue could be in the fact its from Ebay and not a genuine lead..........

SO true, least I got the fault I wanted that being my climate control
