Not even @Ratarossa, @CarWizard, @Realcarninja, @HooviesGarage or @Tavarish would dare tackle the insanity of resurrecting and modifying a 214,000 mile Corrado VR6 at the same time as a 51 year old vintage Fiat Spider and maintaining a 242,000 mile 1.8t Jetta while tooling around in a 181,000 mile Mk4 R32 daily driver!! But I'm a special kind of crazy.
If you have an .:R32, Corrado, Fiat, Alfa, or some other weird quirky car that is a challenge to keep on the road, please share in the comments! If you've got a Sequoia, have pity on the other car owners whose vehicles will not outlast the rest of civilization as we know it.

it says it does Abs . But I didn't spot an abs option in the software when you were scrolling through all the options.

14:52 Ignition timing advance.... Is that torsion value for timing?... If so thats worth buying it, as thats a VCDS feature that most diagnostic tools don't have at this price. its used when you advance or retard the belt with the 3 bolts on the cam. Or is it something completely different? If it is your advancement is quite high 7.5 degrees is usually out of range. Its usually -5 to +5 but should be as close to 0 as poss. 0.5 ish? your belt may be slack or maybe if its petrol not a tdi this is not the same thing and that fine.
Having a torsion value reading on a device this cheap would be a big win for someone with a PD TDI
these are the groups in VCDS
Group 004: Unit Injector
795 /min Engine Speed (G28)
5.0 °ATDC Injection Start (specified)
3.7°KW Injection Duration (specified)
1.49° Torsion Value
That value could be ATDC(At Top Dead Center) injection start. Or Torsion Value its more likely the former which isnt what is needed for PD timing

There's a big difference between static timing, set mechanically on older cars, and electronically adjustable timing, achieved through modern ignitions. On a vehicle with a distributor like the the Corrado VR6, the electronic adjustability is limited by the hall sender's size. IIRC the limit is something like +/- 15*. On a car with full electronic ignition with coilpacks the limit can be even wider, not that it would be helpful unless you're doing some really aggressive tuning. But the timing will vary depending on the tuning and running conditions. On the 1.8t, when the knock sensor detects detonation, or when the IC temp sensor indicates heat soak, the ECU retards timing and boost significantly to make sure the motor doesn't have a meltdown.
7.5* of timing advance at idle without load, under vacuum is pretty normal. You'll see the timing advance and retard with different throttle positions, manifold vacuum or pressure levels.
