Gents. This question is really for someone familiar with Snap-on scanners, and/or bleeding brakes on an 02 Jetta. I don't have VagCom software, but DO have a Solus scanner with software, v16.2. My scanner's software won't allow me to perform brake bleeding on my 02.
Question: Will a Snap-on scanner with software 19.2 or higher bleed a Jetta mk4 '02 ABS brakes?
The v19.2 Snap On Application Guide (and v20.4 guide) says these versions of SO software *can* bleed 2003 and higher Jetta brakes. But it doesn't include 2002's on that list, for some reason. Is there any difference between 02 and 03 ABS systems? I haven't looked to see if I can 'spoof' my 02 as an 03 in the Snap-on software (I'll do that). I know I have done that with some Jeeps. But 03 Jetta bleed was added sometime after v16.
I need to bleed out my 02's ABS (ran er dry). This might be worth me upgrading to a newer version software (and for other vehicles I have/work on too). BTW, just curious what it would cost to get set up with a VacCom software setup that will allow me to bleed brakes? I don't drive my Jetta all that much anymore, so I'd rather upgrade my Solus (sell it and buy a newer ..ebay unit).
Or is there another device/setup or secret method that would allow me to bleed air out of the 02 Jetta abs with reasonable cost?
Thanks. I appreciate your consideration and input.
