VCDS is a brand of Ross-Tech. Not a generic term. That dongle is not a VCDS. Just saying.
Why do you need VCDS for replacing brake rotors and pads?
I didn't, apparently. All went well. I'm sure this VCDS is the way to check everything on these VW's, I'm just unsure if I'll be able to use it properly, or at all. I have all sorts of stuff for maintenance, 40K kit from IDparts, just frustrating to me I can't just throw this on, like a normal car. What needs to be done with the VCDS to do the DGS service? I thought it was yank the battery, tray, and move wiring to access the filter. Warm to near operating temp, and do the drain plug gig. I obviously need help here.
