Autoscan posting trouble

[1340]

I've been trying to post an Autoscan.
I watched the Autoscan video, but I still can't get it to work. I wasn't connected to the internet when I did the scan.
Does that make a difference?
I was given a 2005.5 Jetta TDI that has problems. The PO's were tired of spending money on it, and gave it to me as a parts car. It's in decent shape,
so I'd like to try to get it running right.
Here's my symptoms. The car starts normal, but then alternates between running normally and smoking (blackish and spits carbon), bucking, and stalling.
Seems down on power as well. Has a lot of electrical faults on the scan.
Could someone post the scan for me? I'd really appreciate it.
Then I could get advice on what to look at. I'm not a mechanic, but I'm thinking Terminal 30 or J519 problems?
Any help will be welcomed.
Thanks

Being connected to the Internet when you do the scan is not relevant with VCDS.

Open the Auto-Scan file using Notepad.
If you used the [Save], it will be in your Logs sub-folder.
But even if you didn't, there should be a copy of it in your Scans sub-folder.

Once it's open in Notepad:
Ctrl + A to select it all.
Ctrl + C to copy it to your clipboard.
Then paste it here using Ctrl + V

PS: Moving to Product Support. Please open another thread in Car Repair Support once you get the above process nailed down.

Thank you.
I will try that.
I do have the scan saved.

I know how people dislike someone not searching but I did watch that video.
Didn't work for me.
