Engine light came on, VAGcom question

[dellboy]

The engine management light came on yesterday on my S3.

Just wondering how difficult VAGcom is to use and if it's worth me getting a cable. I an fairly competent with a laptop and have used ford FDS diagnostic software before.

Also which is the best cable to buy, price wise? And is it only the cable I need?

Thanks guys!

Car is standard btw and light came on while driving very slowly if that makes a difference, it still runs fine.

Contact NHN on here he sells VAGCOM cables good price very quick service.

as for light it could be anything from steering wheel sensor G85 to coilpack.
