I doubt that it would rcord aircon faults though, as they won't register
on generic OBD-II.


Oh bugger, it was a cracking idea while it lasted though ;(

Although the aircon module records them. For some reasoin most VW/Audi
dealers seem unable to retrieve them though (& if they're Marshalls
they couldn't even be bothered to clear them whilst claiming they'd
found no record of them). As per all discussions of this nature on VW/
Audi/Skoda/Seat you want to plug it into VAG-Com yourself which will
record flap sticking or motor fault if you're getting random
temperatures.

Alas, not my car and the software is pretty expensive.

You could post on one of the VAG Forums and ask someone. Most have a
member map for owners of VAG-COM.
