racofuy: I really don't have the definitive answer to your 2 x problems - but I assume that the on this car was retrofitted from another vehicle (because of the error on the hex5F module on your first scan report).
If this is so and with the caveat that it's unclear how "someone overseas with on line access to VW servers" cleared the errors - I wonder whether the source of the problem might be the SWaP codes that are registered in your module - maybe (I'm guessing, of course):'
So - the basic concept (as I understand) is that units come pre-programmed with all options included in their software (presumably it's cheaper to manufacture these modules in this manner than to use the inverse principle). However, most of the options are locked-out and a "license" is needed for activation.
To get this license, you first need to buy a type of part number from VW - for example, the number () for the
Mode function is 5G0 054 809. Using the official tool, a series of " keys" are generated incorporating the Code, a Individualization Characteristic (generated on your car), your VIN and a specific VW signature. This process is strictly controlled by VWs servers back on the mother-ship and the end-result is a unique license that is stored in a special file called FecContainer. in the module. You can view these licenses like this (depending on your version):
1. Hold Menu button until service mode shows.
2. Press "Function enabling codes (, SWaP)"
3. Press "Installed codes"
here's a screenshot that I've thieved from the net:
