vag-com questions

Frank:
Most Vag-com questions are best handled at the Vag-com site (yahoogroups) or 
the other threads like Audiworld.com (with regards to codes and how to use 
this function etc.
However, here we can help you with some of your questions.
Clear codes to see if they come back within a test drive or the week.  This 
separates old codes from new ones.
00526 Break light switch \
     27-00 Implausable Signal...Break light switch VERY common, so is the 
same for an automatic transmission.
Usually just an interruption of electrical current.  Bad contacts or 
connector that got bumped.........
01274 Air flow flap motor (V71) Don't know about this one but the controller 
may be saying the flap didn't return or is moving too slowly, like from the 
recent Artic COLD weather....
01370 Alarm Via Int Scan (CV pump alarm,  RC)
     35-00 This could be the air pump that works the locks on other items on 
like A4's etc......Usually means unit runs more than normal because of a leak 
or high lock unlock useage.
Reset codes then check for these issues again.  Check the codes numbers 
against a Bentley manual for the actuall code meaning.
