Hello.

Why is the function "read engine control unit mileage" not supported by almost any control unit? So far, I've only found it working on two vehicles. Both were Sharan models, one from 2001 and the other from 2002, both with a 1.9 TDI PD engine, MKB: AJM.
What experiences do you have, and what was it like for you in those situations?

P.S. Yesterday, I had a 2009 A4 with a 2.0 TDI CR engine. It didn't work even then. icon_confused.gif

I can read the data from the Leon and Ibiza models, but not from the Golf.

Could it be due to the different VCDS versions?
Who knows more?

PS. Hatte gestern nen 2009er A4 mit 2.0 TDI CR. Nicht mal da ging es. icon_confused.gif

Logisch. CR = EDC17.

What is supported? Some EDC15+16 icon_lol.gif icon_wink.gif.

Okay. That explains why the 2008 Jetta didn't work. Just out of curiosity: are there any gasoline-powered models that do work?

Regarding the cars listed in my signature, the feature doesn't work on the Passat or the Sharan. I once had an Alhambra with engine code AUY where it did work. It hasn't worked on any of the other models I've ever accessed.

My Golf ASZ from 2002 also has something against icon_sad.gif.

The bus isn't working either.

I have never had success icon_sad.gif.

As you can see, it seems that the AJM/AUY engine actually works in almost every car and year of manufacture.
