This plug-in allows you to check the injection timing setting on a TDI engine. This needs to be done after you changed the timing belt and every once in a while. The standard procedure for this is to have the engine idling at operating temperature (coolant temp >85*C), go to measuring block 000 for the engine, switch to basic settings and report fields #2 (injection timing) and #9 (fuel temperature) on a special graph.
This plug-in reports the timing on the graph in real-time, so you don't need to have your manual sitting on your lap at the same time. The application also gives you a comment in the "result" field, that will tell you if all the conditions are fulfilled to check the timing (some people don't realize you need to have the engine running, for instance...) and if your timing is within specs or not.
Step by step: Make sure you are using VAG-COM Release 303.1 or newer.
