Mmmmmm, so if the stealers are charging - lets say £80 an hour labour (is that a fair assumption ??), then 2/60ths of that will be £2.66 by my calculations....I never knew the stealers were so cheap
They'll tell you it takes an hour, it doesnt it take seconds and can be done without moving the car, i've done one or two for the same reason as you but they were both driving school cars.
Not heard of VCDS, I assume it is something similar to VAGCOM ??
Re- the reason for de-activating, I just don't like it, and fortunately live and work well away from hijacking hotspots.
I also carry an Oozi for personal protection
Been told I can give him a plug, so here goes..
Right, he's called Steve Allanson, and has a small lock-up on Agbrigg Road, Wakefield.

I have used him previously, when my Octavia had a problem with one of the vacuum pipes, and he spent 20 minutes fixing it, and wasn't going to charge me, and I have just had a similar experience today, when I've taken my Altea across for the auto-locking doors de-activating with VAG-COM, and again he wasn't going to charge me !!!!!
He is an all-round top bloke, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
