The OBD2 tool reads 700 error codes whereas the latest version of VAG-COM reads 9132. Have a read of Ross-Tech's FAQs here for an explanation of the difference between VAG-COM and an OBD-II Scan-Tool.

I've just bought one of these:

It has read and cleared the codes on my fabia, I now know I may have an EGR fault.
Can't argue for £40

Great accuracy with these snap on scanners... They show impossible fault codes...
