WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 26 other vehicles, including the 2009 Volkswagen Golf, 2008 Volkswagen Golf, 2007 Volkswagen Golf, 2006 Volkswagen Golf, and 2006 Volkswagen GTI. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

The DTC table is listed according to the 5 digit code on the left.
Some of the mentioned DTC texts are only displayed on the VAS 5051. On the V.A.G 1551, only the DTC will be printed in this case.
The possible malfunctions are dependant on the respective vehicle equipment.
Explanation of the malfunction types (e.g. "open circuit/short circuit to Ground"):

Refer to Scan tool operating instructions

Before replacing components indicated as malfunctioning, check the wiring and connectors to these components as well as the Ground connections using wiring diagram. This is particularly relevant if malfunctions are output as "occurring sporadically" (SP).
The malfunctions displayed can be localized using the test table.
This malfunction "no communication" can also appear with the door control modules. This has no influence on the function of the convenience system and is therefore of no consequence. Erase DTC memory.

Scan tool print-out: The number shown here in bold 049 (e.g.) has no relevance.
