What Does “Failed 2 New” Mean?

The string “failed 2 new” likely refers to a specific error condition inside Kolimer’s loader: vcds kolimer failed 2 new

Combined, the error suggests that the Kolimer loader tried to patch, emulate, or bypass VCDS’s anti-tamper checks, but a second-step verification (something new in your VCDS version or system) stopped it.

Unofficial Workarounds (Not Recommended):

The "Silicon Labs" CP2102 Alternative

Some newer clone cables use Silicon Labs CP2102 chips instead of FTDI. If you have a "failed 2 new" error with an FTDI driver, your cable might actually be a CP2102 variant. This document is structured for a technician or

  1. Download and install Silicon Labs CP210x Universal Windows Driver.
  2. In Device Manager, manually assign the driver.
  3. The Kolimer loader works with both, but you must tell the loader which chip you have (some versions have a config file named FTDI_or_Silabs.ini). Set it correctly.

What this means: Your diagnostic cable is talking to the car's main gateway, but it cannot reach a specific module (like the Engine, ABS, or Transmission).
