Hello,
I am a beginner in the world of Audi, i had a BMW, i have today an Audi A3 8P SportBack TDI 2.0l of 2009.
I search a diagnostic tool, i saw that there is ODIS (official manufacturer ?), VCDS and VCP. I wish to be able to diagnose my car, reset the maintenance counters.
Which of these tools do you recommend ?
I know that for each tool you need the specific cable. I know that some cables can not be updated (firmware) regarding VCDS ?
Also what cable / software do you recommend that allow me software updates without damaging the cable ?
For ODIS, i discover fully, there is a lot of version E, S, etc. I do not know which one can match my vehicle.
For VCP, i don't know if it's a good tool...
More details :
- it's for personal use
- need to reset the service counters
- need to diagnose the car
ODIS, VCDS and VCP seem to meet these needs :
- VCDS would be easier to use
- ODIS would be more complicated but has a diagnostic assistant
- VCP is easier / better than these tools ?
Thanks for your responses.
See you soon.
