VCDS software - Prices

[KoenT6California]

Hi there,

I am rather new to this forum and the California community.
I bought my T6 4-Motion recently and was looking into maintenance intervals etc ...
I already changed the oilfilter, the oil, airfilter, fuelfilter and cabinfilter.
Next on my schedule is the Haldex box near the rear axle.
The oil, filter and plug are already sitting on my desk but then I saw a video about using the VCDS-software / cable to reset the haldex clutch.

To the point: I did find prices going from 60 EUR to 650 EUR for the VCDS-tool.
What to think about that big difference ?

Thanks, Koen

Some will be copies which can’t be updated with the latest software. Check the Ross Tech site. Gendan supply the official VCDS in UK but there are other suppliers.

Once you are on the official site, there are choices between how many vin numbers you want to support. This affects the price alot too.
The unlimited one (mostly meant for garages) is very expensive
