VAG-COM has arrived, now I am really dangerous
Ran a full scan found 2 codes on the transmission:
2 Faults Found:
18258 - Powertrain Data Bus: Missing Message from ECU
P1850 - 003 - Mechanical Failure - Intermittent
17968 - Maximum Engine Speed Exceeded: Engine Warranty VOID! :-)
P1560 - 003 - Mechanical Failure
Wonder if I should be concerned on the 2nd one. May have Audi take a look.
Also checked the suspension height and received these readings in level 1
-29.0 mm Height Front1
-18.0 mm Height Front2
-23.0 mm Height Rear1
-24.0 mm Height Rear2
Went to level 2:
-5.0 mm Height Front1
3.0 mm Height Front2
0.0 mm Height Rear1
-2.0 mm Height Rear2
Should Front1 and Front2 be this far apart?
It's a cool tool that I hope to learn more about. Set the windows to lower with the key FOB. Probably shouldn't have waiting 6 years to buy one. Now onto the Passat.

Level1 and Level2 should be 20mm apart. There is a +-4mm tolerance on each corner. So, yes..
Looks like front1 and front2 are at the far end (end beyond) of the tolerance. you might have a bad level sensor on either. I have one in my passenger rear corner and I check it every once in a while to make sure it's not too far off from the driver side. Then I just use VAG-COM to adjust it up or down to get it within range of the other side.

About the ride height reading, I think they are normal, because the differences of each corner
between level 1 and level 2 are similar.
The level cotroller will level the four corners when car is running.

About 18258/P1850, the possible causes are
1)Ignition was switched on with connector for Transmission Control Module (TCM) -J217- disconnected.
2)Open circuit or short circuit between Engine Control Module (ECM) and Transmission Control Module (TCM).
3)Incorrect or faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)

About 17968/P1560, the possible causes are
1)Signal from engine speed sensor to Engine Control Module (ECM) faulty.
2)Engine speed (RPM) sensor -G28- faulty
3)Engine RPM signal is being corrupted by incorrectly installed electrical wiring (e.g. retrofitted telephone)
