Does disconnecting for battery for a period of time reset the ECU and clear a CEL?
Or is there any other way of clearing them without a Vag Com?

That was quick.
I ask because I know from my days of E46 BMW ownership you can actually jump 2 of the pins on the OBD2 plug in port and clear codes.

You can try disconnecting the battery and bridging the battery cables to drain residual voltage, but I think that was for OBD-I cars only.

Paramedick answered the question. You'll find that his answers are good and are not opinions unless he says so.
