Took the 'ol TDI in for the emissions recall, and was told that I would need to fix all of the current DTC codes (all of which would be covered under the new warranty once the upgrade is completed) prior to them completing the recall work on my car. I get it, but because they were all emissions related, i thought they would just fix it all as part of the recall. No such luck, and the repairs total $5K!
I asked if i brought the car in with no codes showing up, would they would perform the warranty work. They said yes. Unfortunately, when i erase the codes with my OBD2 reader, as soon as I re-start the car, the codes get thrown again.
My question is this. Can i use VAG-COM, or some other method to erase the codes for a longer period in order to get the Dieselgate warranty work done, and second, can i turn them back on after in order to claim the warranty for these parts.
UPDATE:
Codes are
P2015, P2008, P240F, P2002
