Surely, the AS way is to invest that £45 in a VCDS clone, and do it yourself ?

Surely the AS  way is to own sumat free of this BS.

been quoted £45 to code a stop start battery on the Seat that I've already bought and fitted  - they said it would take half an hour ?? had a google and its 4 lines of data to update - Stop/start is shite 

I did it with my Icarsoft box of tricks when I changed the battery on my Passat a couple of months ago, literally takes about a minute once you've connected the code reader up, and I'm not the best at doing these type of things.

You tell it the battery make, AH and move the number along one. Its not blown up yet and keeps starting so I must have done something right.

I'm going to Bristol and Corsham on Monday, happy to bring the Icarsoft with me and meet up with you if thats suitable.

many thanks for the offer Popsicle - I'm looking at buying something that can do the same and have a go myself - much appreciated all the same - cheers
