mines a 97 P reg, i want it to clear faults n fault diagnosis (eg. able to tell me which speed sensor has gone - abs light on)!!!

had a look on the web for software and seen vag-com software selling for £75..(with full support)...

is that what it goes for??    anyone know where it is cheaper or where to get it??

Exactly same reason I got mine!

I bought a USB one off ebay, if you can get it to work, you are a better man than me and I have been working with diagnostics and BMW engineers for over 12 months now and still cant get it to work!

Instead go for the serial connection, its far more reliable and apparently gives better statistics...?

You can actually get a free version of VAG-COM from www.ross-tech.com, doesnt have full capabilities, but you can at least read DTCs and clear them. (If you are a peer to peer person, there are some versions out there with a crack, but i have been unsuccessful to date)
