Vag com cable (old seat :))

[mart366]

Hi, I have a 97 Mk1 toledo, and i need to reset the service indicator,

as i have an anolouge odometer, the current method of using the clock dosnt work,

so i guess its got to be done via VAG Com

Ive had a dig round and it looks like the OBD connector i have is two small plugs behind a blank in the dash, (notlike on the other car!)

can anyone advise me what lead i would need, i donk know if my PC has a serial connector on it, but / usb deffo

once i have the lead and the software, i guess its just a matter of finding the correct entry and resetting it

any help would be appreciated

dunno TBH , if anything avoid usb , some people (inc. me) had trouble with normal usb leads of ebay ...serial all the way
