RomRaider is your best bet and you can log with a cheap ebay VAGCOM cable. (www.romraider.com)

You won't be able to write to the ECU unless you purchase an OpenPort cable and flash blocks. Using a VAGCOM cable you will be able to read and clear error codes and data log - which is perfect for what you're after...

Good luck!
