And if your cable is infact gubbed, then message me, as i have my old one for sale (no longer have the leon). It will be cheaper and get to you faster.
Mate dont have prevlidges to PM you but it looks like i can accept them, send me a PM with your email please.
I have had a 812.4 Dual-K & CAN cable like in post 36, and can confirm it works with a Facelift Cupra. I have had a bit trouble though.
When I first used the cable I tried it with 704.1 (had from a bay), when doing an Autoscan this would stop though and say authorised interface needed to continue. I then tried 812.4 that came with the cable, at first this did not work but then discovered that the PC clock needed to be set to the beginning of 2009. The Autoscan still stopped though.
I then did a daft thing and tried 10.6.1 from rosstech website which bricked the cable. You dont need an internet connection to do this, just run the wrong software. I did get my cable working again by reflashing the firmware (a lot of googling sorted this).
In the end I went back to 812.4 but used the labels from 912, (908 also works) needed for Facelift. Even the long coding helper now works with a bit of a fiddle.
Hope this is helpful to peeps with facelift leons or those that have bricked there cables.

Great news
How did you get the labels from 912 (or 908) to work with 812.4?
Install 908 (or 912) but dont install usb drivers, delete the labels folder from 812 and copy the labels folder from 9##.
Then when you use the long coding helper you will get the message not supported, at this point run the lcode.exe directly from the 812 folder, another long coder helper window opens (it should look a bit differant), now close the coding screen in vag com and the helper windows close. Now when you go back into coding and click on the helper it should work.
I have found out though, like you there is no module 46 and for the locking chirp you need to do through Adaptation because the long coder only tells you to do the locking chirp.
Will your cable now complete a Autoscan mate ?
If so anychance you can upload the files you used to flash the cable tp papid and tell us how to flash the cable?
Never managed a autoscan in full with mine.
Pleased you got yours sorted though.
I hope you dont mind mw hijacking this thread!
I have a problem with a hex can 908 cable and software i purchased from epray.
Its not an original cable but it claims to be a fully registered version.
You know the type the one which you have to keep internet conection turned off when installing.
But after using on the car tonight its a seat leon fr 170 tdi by the way i noticed it doesent have all the functions. The one iv noticed is advanced meas blocks.The one of the main reasons i bought it was to do a forced regen inwhich i need this function.
Does anyone know how i can enable this function.

It might be greyed because of the loaded module. I have noticed on mine it is not always available. Someone like DanGB on here might be more help though.
Hi there I have just recieved a cable and also get this problem!!
How did you manage to fix this? Was it due to reflashing the cable or another way?
Thanks
I think I May have found the problem vagcom is not picking up a label file for the engine control module.
Anyone know how how i can sort this??
