Ross-Tech sell VAG-COM. They are based in the States and offer excellent help to all who have bought from them before. There is a forum member Eshrules-Enterprises who is very helpful and can supply you with a cable and the shareware software, but due to personal reasons Eshrules are closed temporarily. It is $75 to upgrade from the shareware to the fully registered software, and its well worth it because there isn't too much you can do with the shareware.

You can get newer software, the 409.1 which will do your car is a bit old now, but its the right thing for someone on a budget. I use the 409.1, it covers most VAG cars up to 2005.

Whatever you do, don't get sucked in by what is on e-bay, they very rarely work, and if you do buy some diagnostic software, don't ever plug your laptop/PC in with a cigarette lighter adaptor. They ruin the cables.
