mation system -V.A.S 5051- or fault read-out scan
tool -V.A.G 1551- with the program card version 9 is
similar. (A minor deviation on the display read-out is
possible).
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and
auxiliary items required
♦Vehicle system tester -V.A.G 1552 -
♦Diagnostic cable -V.A.G 1551/3, 3A, 3B oder 3C-
Test conditions
