"And the answer is" /aside "envelop please, Vanna" \aside "Yes."

Just click the OBDII button on VAG-COM and up comes the generic OBDII 
screen with a number of options - one of which is read DTC 
codes.  Did that and see a reported Boost Limit Exceeded.  (Hmmmm... 
Friend has a new driver in the family { very pretty sixteen YO 
daughter } who has recently gotten her license.)

Found another button <Clear Codes> pressed same and CEL turned off.

Sent friend on his way saying looks like maybe that's all it was.  If 
it comes back we'll read the codes again and maybe make a further 
recommendation then.

So -- in short -- Yes VAG-COM can provide useful generic OBDII 
information for a Swedish Brick.  The brick in question is a 2002 SUV 
XC90 or something like that with a turbo.

Thanks for all the participation, guys.

Bob
