I have an OLDER laptop which works mint with Vag-Com P133 Win95 etc....
Vag-Com from Ross-Tech is what I see most people use, BUT your needs should 
be the deciding factor.
Our 200 only logs 8/10 blocks of data.
The A4 and A6 can do windows up to the door key/key fob, Oil change reminder 
resets and a host of info.

HOWEVER, as in the past, it mentions a value or sensor out of adjustment -or 
fault- which may mean that further exploration around that component is the 
cause not just replace (for example) the O2 sensor because its surpassed its 
limits..........
HINT:  Look for vacuum leaks in the old fashioned lines.........

HTH - Scott by BOSTON  BTW:  the Audiworld guys bring these things to their 
GTG every few months or so...............ask for a demo or contact a lister on 
the Ross-tech or forum lists........
