Skoda Octavia I 2007 MPI - Which VAG devices for own diagnostics on the computer

Question

Hi.
I would like to be able to diagnose my Soda by simply connecting it "to the computer".
I am not very familiar with the subject, so I would like to ask what exactly do I need to do this?
Maybe someone would be able to advise a proven and suitable equipment for the Skoda Octavia I?
My car is:
Skoda Octavia I, 1595cc, 75KW, 2007 petrol
There is a lot of it on Allegro and I don't know what to choose.

VCDS is more than enough

Plus the interface dedicated to this LPG installation and the program (both are available online even from one seller - without advertising)

You need an interface that communicates over the can bus ... it will be hard to find something for a hundred. I suggest VAS 5054a - the cable can be found in good $

Vasem can cause more confusion than there will be benefits. And vas to the hundred. Rather unreal.
VCDS too expensive? You can buy it from rice, but they work as they please. More they don't work how they work, or they work badly.

As an amateur, in whose family VAG group cars have been for years, I will put it this way - an ordinary KKL + CAN from Viakena is enough.

Even if you ever need to read EEPROM from clocks or ECU, this one should easily spend.

For basic VCDS diagnostics, because you have to look for more specialized programs to combine.

As for rice - I try myself on VAG Commander and other MPPS.

Also go ahead, you won't regret it. I say right away - with VAG, do not play ELM on bluetooth and so on. This is a nice gadget, but you can't do diagnostics with it.

Contrary to appearances, VCDS is a powerful tool, you just need to be able to interpret the values it shows us.

Including the diagnosis of damaged glasses in the TDI PD ...

Greetings.

I don't know if I found it correctly, but the price for VCDS is several thousand zlotys ... It's not on my pocket. I was counting to buy something up to PLN 100. I am thinking about the VIAKEN VAG USB KKL + OBD2 + OBD1 interface + pins for PLN 69 -> One thing only puzzles me, the description says that the interface supports all models of the VAG group in 1992-2004 (diagnostics along the K line). I have a Skode Octavia from 2009, so I understand it won't work? I cannot find one that covers my Skoda yearly. Please support me in purchasing this. I would like to be able to read parameters / errors, delete errors ... The best price is up to PLN 100.

Thanks for any advice.
Well, I would choose this VCDS but I did not find anything to say PLN 200.
I understand that there is no chance to buy something up to PLN 200 so that you can at least preview the errors and remove them?

Userr1 · Answer

Cool thanks. I can see that you can already get them for about PLN 240.
Please just tell me how they are sold. Ie. people who sell them, they somehow put them together, "produce" I ask because these ads do not look for sale from owners who want to get rid of it.
Are such interfaces working properly and what should you pay attention to? I understand that if, for example, I would choose one in the version, e.g. 17.1.3, it would be good for my Skoda I from 2009?

Userr1 · Answer

OK thanks. And please tell me which one is better to buy VCDS the one with HEX CAN VCDS 17.1.3 17.8 or Vag VCDS 17.1.3 PL 17.8 ENG?
