Checking #VW #GolfGTI with #VCDS to measure #camshaft adaptation phase position on intake and exhaust (this can warn you if the timing chain is stretching).
Position (with a warmed engine on slower idle) is <5,0 degrees so all is OK here (the chain should be good to about 93205 miles / 150 000 km, particularly with more frequent oil changes)
The mechanics stool / creeper from #LIDL is worth getting if you see it in the middle shelf (I use it so I can put the #Thinkpad #T430 on the drivers seat to reach the #OBD2 connector and sit on the stool with the drivers door open to monitor whatever is on the screen (ofc this only works for tasks where the car is stationary, but if you want to do on the move diagnostics/datalogging you need 2 people anyway for safety)
