diagnostic software for skoda octavia 2006

Hey.
Can anyone reccomend software for a diagnostic tool
My guess is the ittle machines you can buy do the same job as the software but without the rubbishy plastic bit, so might be better value.
Ive seen the machines from 49.99 upwards.
Someone mentioned that you can run the whole thing thru your computer which I would like to try.
Cheers

Depends how deep you want to get, the kit these guys-

supply can do pretty much everything the dealer software can do.

Best option as said above is VCDS, I have a Hex-Net which was around £500 when I bought it, but you can get other models for much less .

You may be able to do all you want with Carista via a Blutooth dongle and the phone app.
