If you plan to work your way through/up the VAG range of cars, getting a proper copy of VCDS will keep working for a very long time, I've had VAG COM since 2002, then traded it in for VCDS, so my total spend of maybe £185 + maybe £155 to upgrade, has kept me up to date for 12 years and going looking after/fixing 5 cars and some friends cars - remember, VCDS can operate as an OBD2 generic engine code reader for any other marques that are playing the game wrt OBD2 code designations! This is where these scan tools come into their own and your £270+ spend will pale into insignificance. You sound like, so far, you don't have a great car issues and just want to enjoy the benefits of being able to change things slightly in your car, and that is fair enough, but unfortunately, in the future, you will probably want to be able to find out what is going wrong with your car, and either try to fix it or make a judgement on if it is safe to continue to use it.
VCDS is a software package for Windows that emulates the functions of the dealers' very expensive proprietary scan tools.Putting aside all the legal and moral reasons why you should not buy rip-off copies, if you buy the proper VCDS from an authorised seller - and there are many in UK, you will get supported for the lifetime of that product, and when the time comes for RossTech to replace it with an evolved tool, your old version can be traded in.
