You know, I did buy a basic CCP Vag-Com reader (emulator) online. No PID's but airbag/ABS.

The Vag-Com code descriptions in the provided booklet gave a broader base of culprits then the OBD code descriptions. One fix from the el-cheap-o Vag-Com paid for it AND the expanded OBD with PID reader.

Specific issue was the ever present VW coolant temp sensor code. Booklet said could be thermo housing and/or thermostat also so I replaced both. Not real scientific but a better clue than with what OBDII codes gave me.
