the scanners make is memoscan you need to see what codes are in the instead of just putting parts on thats just a waste of money
once you have the scanner you will have it for future cars you buy they do vw,skoda,seat and audi let me know how you get on.....Rik

is there software for my laptop and then just a case of buying a cable or will it be best just to get the hand held scanner?

you might have a air leak on the induction side get some brake cleaner get the car running and spray the brake cleaner all around the
induction area like the throttle body, inlet manifold that sort of thing be careful not to spray it on the exhaust manifold,if the revs pick up when you are spraying it that means you have an air leak in that area so try to pin point it down if nothing happens with the revs you don't have a air leak..........................thanks Rik

You might want to try cleaning the throttle housing out and the c.i.s valve too constant idle valve (C.I.S) and see if the throttle switch it clicking when you move the throttle a little bit do this at the throttle body with it not running move the wheel which the throttle cable goes on..........Rik

where is you port is it a 16 pin euro plug or two single connectors, it won't be obd 2 thats newer cars, if you get a scanner it comes with a 16 pin euro style connector on it for obd and obd 2 if you have the two connector type plug you can get an adaptor to fit the scanners obd connector ok Chris hope this help you...........Rik
