Hello just curious if this will fit my vw caddy mk 2 2001 model I’ve emailed but no reply thanks in advance !

Hi Ray, really appreciate the kind words.We've got a free comp to win a diagnostic tool if you're interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLJimJqftLbLmXk.html

Channels let you access specific parameters and values stored in the ECU e.g. Oil service and Inspection service reset values. Please use caution when accessing channel information and always write down the original value. There are 000-255 possible channels, take a look at this: support.obdeleven.com/en/articles/5627050-adaptations

More info after further research. My VD700 reports the Haldex controller protocol as CAN20, in other words an earlier protocol than UDS. This was confirmed by a post on a forum I found for the haldex controller of the same vintage as mine. Before UDS, you had to activate basic settings manually via a channel, or group number, rather than just selecting clearly from a list. Trouble is, all these channel numbers and what they do is a closely guarded secret of VW. But another doc I found said that channel 51 of the Haldex can be used after changing the pump. And Ross-Tech wiki shows channel 51 as "Adjustment valve controlling the opening degree of the clutch". Now, when I try Haldex (system 22) channels 1,2,3... on my VD700, it says that the channels are not supported. But I try channel 51, it offers for me to proceed!! Similarly there IS a channel at 50 also, but none at 49, or 52, so I believe that channel 50 activates the pump. So it seems reasonable that after changing a pump I can activate channel 51 to ask the controller to relearn the characteristic of the new pump (after appropriate warm-up). I have not been brave enough to go ahead yet, but I think I will try it and hopefully save myself $AU800 for VCDS.

Hi @viperx1977 thanks for reaching out. What's the make, model and year of the vehicle in question?

@@AlbionshireCarDiagnostics Citroen Berlingo 2013

@@viperx1977 This tool only supports VAG Group cars (VW, AUDI, SEAT, SKODA) I'm afraid. For your Citroen, I'd advise you to look at the iCarsoft FR series: albionshire.co.uk/product/icarsoft-fr-v3-0-for-for-citroen-peugeot-renault-dacia-fiat-alfa-romeo/

It does demonstrate that in this video.

Hi, yes, we can confirm it does.

on tiguan 2017, you need to start the motor but I did the procedure it was not clear and I did also a mistake, just be careful for the next ebrake i did it with the battery method, use a 18V or 15V battery and just slowly rewind the motor, 12V should be way enough or even 9 V to prevent twisting the rubber when it reaches final position. After my mistake it didn't want to run the procedure unless I start the motor which is inconvenient in my garage, I should have some extension for the exhaust to bring the fumes further away from the opened door.

That would be ideal, however, coding is usually found in the more expensive tools and as you have noted they are subscription-based or very expensive. We do have the VDubDiag that offers coding with no subscription fees: albionshire.co.uk/product/vdubdiag-vw-audi-seat-skoda-car-diagnostic-tool-scanner-reader-tool-obd2-fault-codes-air-bag/

Diesels have a throttle body to adjust the air flowing into the engine that is mixed with the Fuel from the injectors - no air no explosion

Yes true anti shudder valve on diesel they dont work like throttle body there either open or closed helps diesel incase of runaway engine

I agree wish other knew the real facts before offering false advice as facts @@abdulbeany1894

@colin5064 We can confirm the tool can code new injectors. Many of our customers have managed to do so successfully. Please see the screenshot in the link provided: albionshire.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/injector-coding-vd700.jpg

Hi, so please can you provide link to a video of this procedure with this tool. Rather than just a screen shot. As l noticed you didn't enter this option on your review of this tool. You could have entered this option,then exited without changing to show this capability@@AlbionshireCarDiagnostics

@@colin5064 The video was kindly produced by one of our customers. The tool has tons of features and Injector coding was out of the scope of the review. We are in the process of getting a video for injector coding and once it's available we'll make the link available.

Excellent l will wait for that video before purchase@@AlbionshireCarDiagnostics

Despite being made to some fine tolerances, diesel injectors naturally have some variation in performance, flowing slightly different amounts of fuel. Knowing the performance characteristics of each injector, the ECU can compensate for this variation to deliver precise amounts of fuel to each cylinder. When you replace and injector you need to update the performance data in the ECU foe the new injector, otherwise the engine may run more roughly and with less power or fuel economy than it could achieve. Modern diesel injectors are marked with a code that describes tha injector performance and this is entered into the ECU using a suitable diagnostic tool.

You have avoided my question as per what can this tool change ref your fuel injector perameters ref quantity. Do you actually know the answer?@@ferrumignis

@@colin5064 By the way, have you always behaved like a pos, or is this a recent behavioural issue?
