Which VAG-TACHO to buy??

[Mark300zx]

I have a 2005 LCR and I notice quite a number of people have bought a cable and it doesn't work on their MK1 Leon, is there a definitive cable that does work??

I think you need to buy VAG TACHO 2.5

Thanks Wendy, a lot of people have that version but still have problems getting their skc code!

Do you try the VAS5054A ? it is diagnostic tool for AUDI/VW/SKODA/SEAT.
It read and erase ECU fault codes, including Check Engine, ABS, SRS, transmisson system, Radio, heating. ect. tunrn the check engineen light off.

Amusing because both things Wendy mentioned are illegal copies of sb. else's products.

If you want a REAL/GENUINE VAGtacho, this is the authors/manufactures website.

The VAS5054A's on eBay are grey/black market devices and VW is already persuing those as well. So if you buy one, be aware that sb. might knock on your door and ask some questions...

Thanks so for the SKC code the only option is to buy the cable from your links?

ALL (no kidding) VAGtacho's on eBay are fakes/illegal copies. So if you want to buy one, get the real one. The author (kiti) is a really helpful guy, so if you ever run into issues with a car not properly working he will help you with it. Is it worth the money just for one SKC? Thats up to you.
