Hi...
I have about 80K miles on my 2013 Passat TDI. I'm getting a CEL (I think cold-related), haven't had much luck diagnosing, and it's become clear that I either get a VCDS or let the dealer handle. I'd like to keep the car for another 40K and turn it in at 120K (which is when the wtys on the turbo and ad blue htr go bye-bye). So here's my question: If I buy the $200 VCDS, and later want to sell it, is there a market for a used VCDS? I'm not sure if I'd have registered my VIN on it when I sell it, so it might have all three VINS still available, or possibly only two. Just wondering if folks sell VCDSs on this forum somewhere. I've definitely seen them on EBAY.
Thanks for your thoughts.
