Nope but do have a vag 405, just note these scanners wont work with newer skoda/vag group stuff, probably up to about 4 years ago is fine. I like the vag405, wasnt a lot dearer than than, about £45 odds, but accesses all areas with ease and very easy to use

Cheers for the tip, I might invest in a 405, might be able to punt my gs500 if the 405 will cover what the gs500 would.

Think thats mine, the vag405, it wont read newer stuff mate, wont communicate properly with a two year old Yeti for instance, now it will work as a basic code reader but full facilities wont work Theres a newer one that allows full access at nearly £180 at the moment, cant remember the model or make

Well I've failed on this 1 for today, can't get my hands up to hold my multimeter probes on the pins, 4 pins to choose from, blind once my hand is up near the sensor having to go at it from underneath, think I need some crocodile leads to have any chance of testing the cts in situ, if I'm gonna remove it to test it I may aswell replace it.
Plus its raining good and proper.

It will either go from 0 - 5, or 5 - 0 volts as it warms up
