hi, iam new to this forum hope iam posting in the right area so here goes...

i have a 1998 a3 8l 1.6 and it (intermittently) tries to cut out when lifting the clutch (setting off) its just come back from the garage after a service i have noticed oil in the plastic intake pipe so cleaned throttle body no luck. so i figured it must be an engine sensor problem (but no ecu light on) i have a vag com compatible cable (spurious brand off ebay) lost the cd so found a driver online and downloaded several versions of vag com none of which seem to work it will not connect checked com ports ect it tries to connect then says no response from controller, or sometimes comes up with com set to modem status :s . i have tried everything and i cannot get it to connect anyone know know which version of vag com i should use? or had similar problems?

appreciate any help
