Father in Laws 2010 Golf has the airbag light on, and needs service light resetting.
Rather than pay someone 60 ,70 + to read and reset, he is thinking about buying me VCDS for about £270 so I can do it now, and in the future.
Anyone got any experience with it? Worth having? Better / cheaper options?
Cheers

I had an Ebay cable and downloaded the free Rosstech software, when I had my vRS. Worked for me, so worth a look...

are there not age restrictions with that?

Probably need the latest for a 2010 car, not the earlier freebies.
I vaguely recall an issue with one of the Vagcom products (might have been vagcom not vcds though, or may have been a car fault) where diagnosing the SRS system would permanently destroy the ECU.
