I know this is not TDI specific, but it happened as a result of fixing a TDI related issue, so I hope it's ok to post.
Last week, I disconnected the battery in hopes to "clear the codes" (found out later that this was not necessary). Now my stereo says SAFE. I learned what this is in my stereo manual, but the place where the code is (was) is no longer there. I am not the original owner. Called VW of America - they said to check with the local stealership. Went there - they said it'd by 1/2 hour labor ($48) to extract the code - they suggested the original dealer of origin. Called them and they said they don't keep those codes in their system, but to check on the "stereo chassis" where the number is engraved. At this point I wouldn't mind having my stereo stolen so that I could get a new one, which wouldn't be all that much more $$$. However, perhaps someone out there has a trick. I do not have a code checker (VAG-COM?). Thanks in advance.
