I have a standard obd2 reader. Not a VW/Audi VAGCOM. So yes, it is limited.

Dave, do you have a pic of backside of cluster
showing which wires go to which of the three slots. CEL, airbag, seatbelt.
I pulled my cluster out to replace the ignition switch, and while I took some pics, they did not come out clear.

Dave, cant I just remove this piece and
replace with a short section of hose.
If all this thing does is bleed air, $107 smacks versus $2 in a straight hose, I would go straight hose.
Your thoughts please.

That had to be strangest experience driving a car for me at least.
Steam pouring out of the dash and being blown by my AC in the middle of summer.
Was like a dust cloud in the car.
Thankful it...
