Default #$@%^^!#$! I need a VAG. Accidentally cleared a bunch of fault codes with a code reader/clearer...

Dammit. The little device runs through the ECU three times before it clears codes. Just so happens that it doesn't matter if it's getting anything back from the ECU, it counts the times it runs through it. So I plug it in, and it cycles through twice. I start the car, it runs through its 3rd cycle, a bunch of codes show up, I go to write down the codes, boom, they're all cleared. Argh. Now I'm actually hoping the CEL comes back on so I know what the hell was (is?)wrong...

Just venting. I suppose if they were more than just a one time thing, they'll come back. If not, nothing to worry about, right?
