Laser Tools Adaptive Cruise Control Adjustment Tool - for VAG - 7814

The primary purpose is to accurately adjust the position of the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) RADAR unit on VAG vehicles, particularly after repairs or component replacement.

No, this tool is specifically designed for VAG group vehicles and is equivalent to VAG tool VAS6190/2. Compatibility with other vehicle manufacturers is not guaranteed.

Adaptive Cruise Control is a driver-assistance system that automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

Symptoms include the ACC system not engaging, providing incorrect distance readings, or triggering false warnings/braking. This is often necessary after accident repairs or replacement of the RADAR sensor or bumper.

The tool is manufactured from chrome vanadium steel with a satin finish, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance.

The shaft length is 230mm, and the overall length is 256mm, designed for reaching into confined engine bay areas.

While the socket is a 3.5mm hex, its primary design and length are optimized for ACC RADAR adjustment on VAG vehicles. Using it for other purposes may not be effective or could cause damage.

This is typically due to using the wrong size or type of tool, or applying excessive force. Ensure you are using the correct 3.5mm hex socket and applying controlled, steady pressure. If the head is already stripped, specialized screw extraction tools may be required.

Verify that the vehicle model is compatible with VAG tool VAS6190/2 and that you are using the correct end of the tool. The 3.5mm hex socket is precise; ensure there is no debris in the socket or on the screw head.

The tool's function is mechanical adjustment. If the ACC system remains inoperative, the issue may lie with other components (e.g., the RADAR sensor itself, wiring, control module) or require recalibration using specialized diagnostic equipment. Consult the vehicle's service manual or a qualified technician.
