Hi,
I have a year 2000 UK Turbo and bought a VAG KKL lead off EBay and it works with ecuExplorer that is free to download.
It gives you live data readings in scaled numbers rather than graphs though, and can read fault codes & reset ECU.
I bought the lead a fair while ago so haven't the exact item number but it was from the guy with this: 320654068912 item number and I'm pretty sure this is the cable you need - check with him though, he was very helpful if remember correctly.
Hope helps,

No worries,
Your ecu should be AE800 or AE801 on that year - ecuExplorer will also say what one you have
Simtek or Apexi are aftermarket ones.
The std ecu should I believe can be mapped, but the only way I think to tell if it has been is if a mapper goes into it to see if it has an ECUTEK licence.

The OBD port (which uses SSM protocol for MY99/00 i.e. via ecuExploer ) is on the lower cowling under the steering column. Looks a bit like a SCART socket...
Don't know what that plug is in your pic, or where its cited (can't get my bearings lol).

Oh lol. That plug in your pic then: is that the OEM radio/speakers etc. plug...?!?!
And there should be the OBD socket on the grey plastic lower cowling trim panel (and not under the actual column!)
