I would probably go for USB version http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/VCHUC.html even if your current PC has serial port if you get a new PC in future there is a good chance it will not

VCDS is the business... And I can sort you out with the workshop manuals. Ideally if you give me a portable hard drive for a bit as it's a Windows XP virtual machine.
If you like, you can pop round and I'l show you what VCDS can do for you.
