Been on ebay looking at leads for VagCom but seems like a real mindfield!! I run Windows & on this Laptop.
Any recommendations?

mtroxel - DBW car? Sorry not sure what that is!
Defo not getting the Throttle Body Alignment so this may be the issue... A partly stupid question but if there is an issue here is it more likely to be a software or "hardware" issue?

Thanks again everyone
Using my secret decoder ring: N reg is a 1996 so not DBW.

Rosstech is the official site for VAG.com.

Doesn't Halfords in the UK sell a generic OBDII scanner you can buy them here for less than $50.A Vag.com is better, but you would have wait a while to get it.

You should be able to pull OBDII codes.
