I'm also looking into the SFD problems, from hearsay VCDS is still able to reset fault codes but for changing module settings you need to buy a live timeslot with a service connected to a VAG-server.
Have to say that it's pretty disappointing not being able to change settings here and there, for instance, the three times the binker goes when activating the stalk is too little, I'd like to change it to 7 blinks.
Tyre pressure, same thing; factory setting is 4.1bar and that's too much. In the old version you can set three load versions (empty, medium and fully loaded) with respective pressure settings.
And I need to have the body module changed to start the alternator when the household battery needs charging when solar is insufficient. Etc etc.
Love to hear if VCDS can still reset fault codes.
