You're right of course, and it does present a problem. I've spoken to the UK 
representitive for VAG-COM and the problem with the older cars (OBD-I) and 
real-time graphing is the relative slowness of data transfer. Where this is a 
problem that often occurs only for a fraction of a second (feels a lot longer 
when you're overtaking!) you may be lucky to catch it on the older models. You'd 
probably have to drive it around a lot before you managed to catch one 
occurrence of the problem because he reckons the fastest they've ever got a response 
from a real-time graph analysis on an OBD-I is one measurement every second or 
so... When I manage to hook it up, I'll let you know how it goes!
