Find Label File "8E0-614-111-EDS.LBL"

Hello fellow enthusiasts,

I was just about to read out the ABS/EDS 5.3 control unit and perform an actuator diagnosis (after all, there's not much else to do on a Saturday evening...).

The data reading is working so far, but the actuator diagnostics do not include the test steps that VAG specifies.

In the 'measuring blocks,' the label in the top left corner says: None.
Does this explain this behavior?

Does anyone have the corresponding label file '8E0-614-111-EDS.LBL'?

The control unit is labeled: 8E0 614 111 P, ABS/EDS 5.3 Front D11.

I only found the filename with U. Ross, but unfortunately, I couldn't find the file itself.

Thank you in advance.

Oh yes, there's one more thing I should mention:

VAG-COM Release 409.1-S (not the latest version, but it works great!).

Do you have a LEGAL full version of VAG-COM Release 409.1-S?

At least he has "Premium Support" listed on his profile, which suggests that he has purchased something from Rainer at least once.

EDIT: It's included in the current VCDS distributions. So, if you're a customer, you can simply download a legal, up-to-date version and use the file from it.

Greetings.

Hello mullemaus,

The question seems to be quite relevant now!

The fact is, I was definitely among the first in Germany to have the SW (Software) activated directly by Uwe Ross for $99...

My self-built interface has been working perfectly with my A4 for almost 10 years now (with some minor modifications over the years)!
The last update I received for 'dump interfaces' was version 409.1-S.
There was no desire to change anything here -> never touch a running system.

I just checked the Ross-Tech website and was surprised to see that there's a new VCDS Lite version available for 'dump/third-party interfaces.'
I am currently filling out the 'appropriate form.'

Previously, you had to deactivate the old version to get a new activation. Now, if you are already a customer of Uwe Ross, you only need to enter the serial number of the new computer.

Thank you for the information!

Question about 'mullemaus' and 'guste 100':
Does the actuator diagnosis function work with the new version for the ABS/EDS 5.3? Unfortunately, you can't test this with the shareware version.

Sincerely,
K. Oldewurtel

Hey!


It's good to know that something like this still exists.


What exactly do you want to do with the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)? Why are you performing an actuator test? Is there a defect, or is it purely a preventative measure?

Hello mullemaus,

Thank you for the label file!

Hey!

It's good to know that something like this still exists.

What exactly do you want to do with the ABS? Why are you performing a valve actuator test? Is there a defect, or is it purely preventative maintenance?

I retrofitted an ABS/EDS system (yes, some people are crazy enough to do that!), so I installed a well-maintained ABS/EDS module.
(ABS/EDS module €100 + two brake lines at €10 each + one cable €2 + 5 hours of work at home, and that's it.)

Since the brakes are the most important safety feature in a car, I simply want to test everything thoroughly as a precaution.

I'm hoping for slightly better performance when starting uphill in snowy conditions (I have to drive up a 12% incline immediately after leaving my garage).
I am fully aware that the EDS cannot perform miracles, but having ONE wheel spinning on the road is almost embarrassing .

During thorough testing, I also discovered that something is not working correctly within the vacuum system.
With the engine running (idle) and the accelerator pedal fully depressed, you can slowly (!) press the brake pedal further. In normal use, you won't notice anything.
Probably, this error was already present before (i.e., only with ABS). In my opinion, it has nothing to do with the used ABS/EDS block.

When the engine is stationary (with the ignition on or off), the pedal doesn't move at all.
That's why I suspect the vacuum circuit.

Is there a likely culprit here (before I check everything), such as hoses or a vacuum pump?
I will 'borrow' my vacuum gauge again tomorrow and start searching.
I would appreciate any tips!

Sincerely,
K. Oldewurtel

The question would have been unnecessary if you were already using the latest version. VAG-COM 311/409 was replaced by VCDS-Lite at the beginning of 2010, and all existing customers (with a license) can update for free as usual. Those who use the older shareware versions can also update without any problems, so there should be no excuse for not doing so.

The requested label file is already included in the current VCDS-Lite 1.1 version, so there should be no need to distribute files separately.

P.S.: Mulle, I would like to ask you to please refrain from distributing label files in the future. If a customer encounters such a problem, they can contact us, and we will be happy to assist them.

Hello Sebastian,

if you had been faster than mullemaus and guste (I know, it was Saturday evening in Germany), we could have avoided the rest (including the 'mini-scare' for mullemaus ).

I was simply not prepared for the excellent service from Ross-Tech, which also provides a FREE update to VCDS for even very old versions.
Even the activation of VCDS Lite 1.1 went smoothly on Sunday, taking less than an hour: All thumbs up.

Can I ask you specific questions directly about VCDS (e.g., about label files, guided search, etc.)?

Sincerely,
K. Oldewurtel

Okay, sure.

I will post my brake problem again in the forum 'Chassis, Bodywork, and Interior'.

It's better off there.

Sincerely,
K. Oldewurtel

I have removed the label file.
