    Perhaps your right, have you rang a vw dealer tech for advise?, my local dealer tech is quite helpful and helps me out where he can.

    Vcds lite with an upgrade purchase may help if you call vag com they may help you out also.

    No, haven't spoken to anyone else yet. Thought I'd ask here first.

    Vcds lite is free to download but I did think it will not do modules/canbus so an upgrade will more than likely be needed.

    Also try posting your engine code on here, as this may only be common on your year engine and others may know a little more.

    If I remember correctly, vcds lite won't work on this year of car.
    The fault codes clearly say that they have lost their basic settings so you must be right with your research. This is backed up by looking up your fault codes here: Category:Fault Codes - Ross-Tech Wiki which says that it needs adapting to get the basic settings again.
    If you don't want to take it to an independent specialist garage (who should have vcds or similar) then you could look at the vcds forum map to see if there is a forum member near to you who can help.

    When the battery gets very low, I believe that these cars go into deep sleep to keep this stuff going, so the battery must have got really low.

    I know people don't like cheap eBay versions of VCDS on here but a mate gave me a copy he didn't need and it worked a treat. No more ESP light on.

    I had to re-enter the basic settings for the steering, brakes etc .

    Took a little while working out how to use the software but searching Google on how to do it brings up quite a bit of info.

    The car has to re set all of its parameters. When you reconnect the battery, drive in a straight line and then full lock left and full lock right and that syncs the cars limit. Mine went and luckily I knew a guy at Southampton Audi and he showed me the fault codes his diagnostics picked up and it was things like steering position sensor, brake position sensor and some other sensors to do with suspension! He drove it straight, full lock either way and sorted!

    Driving mine didn't sort it mate ! Only way to sort it is using VCDS to reprogram the basic settings.
