Vcds Kolimer Failed 2 New !!exclusive!!
This document is structured for a technician or advanced user troubleshooting a VAG (VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda) vehicle using a non-genuine interface.
Step 6: Check Folder Path and Naming
Avoid spaces or special characters:
- Wrong:
C:\Users\Me\Desktop\VCDS crack new\kolimer.exe - Right:
C:\VCDS\kolimer.exeKeep VCDS and Kolimer in the same folder.
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
- “Failed” = The crack/loader could not complete the bypass.
- “2” = Possibly a step number or second-stage failure.
- “New” = Indicates trouble initializing a “new” or updated protection mechanism.
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):
- Try VCDS Loader v4.5 or VAGCOM Helper instead of Kolimer.
- Use older VCDS version like 11.11 (unsafe for modern cars).
- Install Windows XP in a virtual machine.
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
- Download and install Silicon Labs CP210x Universal Windows Driver.
- In Device Manager, manually assign the driver.
- 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.
6. Recommended Actions
- Do not attempt to flash new firmware – this will permanently brick the clone interface.
- Replace with a genuine Ross-Tech HEX-V2 (approx. $199–$299). This is the only reliable solution for vehicles from 2016 onward.
- If budget is constrained, use an older vehicle (pre-2014) and an older VCDS version (e.g., 12.12) – but expect further failures as modules update.
What is VCDS?
VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) is a powerful Windows-based diagnostic software developed by Ross-Tech. It allows in-depth scanning, coding, adaptation, and troubleshooting of VAG group vehicles.
1. The Most Likely Culprit: "Communication Failed"
In the VCDS interface, if the software cannot talk to a specific control module, it often displays a message in German or a translation error. Step 6: Check Folder Path and Naming Avoid
- "Kolimer" is likely a typo for "Kommunikation" (Communication) or "Kilometer" (Mileage).
- "Failed" is self-explanatory.
- "2 New" likely refers to a status code or a prompt that "2 new" fault codes were found, or it is a fragmented translation of "to new" (referring to installing a new part).
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).
