I think you might have to turn the Baud rate down for the com port. I had this problem trying to scan a Mk4 Golf with the same laptop i use for mine. Turned it down to 9600 and it was fine.

I think the baud rate for the Mk3 was 32000, I'll need to confirm this when i get home form work.

i have tried all baud rate from 0 - 32000 , still no joy, i am thinking my lead is dead. im gonna try and see if you can clear the com port assignments and start over like that. although it does say port ok and interface not found..iv also tried taking the battery off and doing a reset like that, hoping it may bump the k line back into life.
