First time user of VCDS - found out my neighbour has a lead so can see me borrowing it frequently. Can somebody please help me with the following fault codes from the wife's 3.0TDi A6. Are these anything to be concerned about? I'm assuming there are not as the engine emissions light has gone off again after being on for a while. Can someone please confirm?
