ODIS GFF Feedback
Once again, we would like to thank all of you who have taken the time to submit ODIS
diagnostic feedback. In the past few months, we have processed hundreds of feedbacks. Thanks
to your feedback, the quality of the ODIS software is improving with each new release. Some of
the top contributors for last month are:
1. Tom Mann
2. John Matikainen
3. Rick Barsby
4. Burnsville Volkswagen
5. David Knight
6. Donn Mihara
7. Kevin Howard
8. Brian Larson
9. Mike Wren
More Tips for Submitting ODIS Feedback
The best way to make sure that a GFF issue will be fixed is to include as much information in the
feedback as possible. Please make sure that each feedback is sent with:
1. Screen shots. Capturing errors, menu problems or translation issues are probably the
best way to illustrate an ODIS problem. Multiple images can be added, and multiple
feedbacks can be sent during a diagnostic session.
2. A clear description of each issue. Even with screen prints and log information, it may
not always be clear to those reviewing feedback what a problem is. Text can be added
by typing in the spaces above, below or between added screen shots.
3. Up to date tester software. There are new fixes included with each software update. It
is very important to make sure that your tester is running with the latest version of ODIS.
Currently, that version is Application v2.0.2 - Content v1.1926.32350, which can also
be viewed on the VW ServiceNet home page.
If you have any questions or comments about submitting ODIS feedback, please email us at
Diag-Feedback@vw.com. We will respond to all inquiries.

Fuel quality impacts the operating performance, efficiency and service life of the
engine. The use of poor quality fuels may result in deposit build up on the fuel
injectors and intake valves. This may result in a rough running condition, sporadic
misfires, or cold start misfire faults storing in the ECM fault memory.
