I have dipped my toes , so to speak and purchased a cheapo cable with shareware 409us. At that small cost, it was worth having a go. I have borrowed an XP laptop.
All seems to go fine - you obviously cannot do an auto-full scan because it prompts you to register the full version after 2 checks: engine and abs.
So I did a "control-module finder". And it listed all the modules it could, which were (after a long time!) :-

Not sure what address 08 (Auto HVAC) is ? I am getting comm errors only on this. Also don't get the "Skipping Address 15-Airbags"
So I am able to check for errors specifying each address. The only thing that showed up was:
VAG-COM Version: Release 409.1-US
Chassis Type: 8L - Audi A3/S3
Scan: 01,02,03,08,15,17,22,35,37,45,54,55,56

Address 01: Engine
Controller: 8N0 906 018 BH
Component: 1.8L R4/5VT 0001
Coding: 10710
Shop #: WSC 01236
WAUZZZ8LX21019133 AUZ7Z0A2027907
1 Fault Found:
17963 - Charge Pressure: Maximum Limit Exceeded
P1555 - 35-00 - -
Readiness: 0000 0000
Everywhere I have seen this error on forums all relate to people who have re-mapped ecu's. Mine is standard and has not. I don't notice any problems with the car. Audi last cleared all errors about 2 months ago, so this is fairly new.
I have looked up the error on the ross-tech web site so there's a few bits of advice there.
Looking forward to playing some more and now with the engine running.
