Title: Vcds stuff
Post by: bigdave982 on August 05, 2016, 04:06:33 PM
I often see references to using vcds/ vagcom. Getting it to work is fairly well covered on here as it what lead do I need
There is a bit from Mirez covering adaptations.

Was thinking more along the lines of egr valve adjustment and cam timing, things like that
A " how to" for this sort of trickery would be useful in ref libary,unless of course its there and Ive not seen it.

I only use mine to scan for codes at the moment.

Cam / injector timing was added to the reference library yesterday! See here (https://www.fordmpv.com/smf2/ford-galaxy-reference-library/ford-galaxy-mark2-torsion-value-checkadjust-(1-9tdi)/)......

There was one for checking turbo actuator operation here (https://www.fordmpv.com/smf2/ford-galaxy-reference-library/how-to-excercise-turbo-vanes-using-vcdsvag-com/) as well in case you've not seen it, don't think EGR has been covered yet though.
