Since I work for a dealer I don't know if that scanner can get the fault codes in the CCU system. Some have said Auto Zone and such places scan a car for free. Stop by and see if they can scan address 46. From what you mentioned it could just be your window motor/control unit is going bad. If you go used make sure all the numbers match as besides the part number their are other codes that must match so ALL the window motors and CCU can talk the same language.
Thanks for the info. I have been to autozone and yes they do provide that service. The scanner they use is one sold in their store, I think it is an Acutron. I have had my Passat and my Honda in to have them read the codes but in both cases they were Engine/emission related. I will do some further research to see what I can find. Thanks for the valuable info.
I think the most vital battery tip in VWs is this:
In my 2001 Golf I recently realized the battery is not a sealed, no-maintenance battery, as its appearance suggests. The top is sealed with thin, cellophane-like tape that is easily removed, revealing fill caps for each cell. The fluid levels were way down on many cells. Checking these levels at least at every periodic maintenance interval will save you a lot of money in battery replacement costs.
