[s-cars] reading codes- VAG-COM vs climate control

[Adam Cramer]

Bob,
I'm in the same boat.  I just had my CEL come on which prompted me to
do a little research on the VAG-COM.  Seems like a good deal, but I'm
still on the fence.

You can check your CEL codes by using the 'blink' method.

It's very straightforward.

Hope that helps.
