What do you mean by "Generic Codes"? Generic OBD-II? There are some of those that are standardized, and some that are left to the individual car manufacturer to define.

You could try a site like this:

Hi Pinewod74,
Diagnosing faults needs more than just reading a DTC and if you are planning to make a bit of cash doing this I would advise caution. The professionals on here will have spent thousands of pounds to get the data to support what VCDS is providing.

Feel happy to purchase and use the superb tool that VCDS is and if you can help a friend on the way, all the better.
