Notes on battery re-connect:
When you connect up, you may find the functions such as windows need to be reset (fully open and then close and then request close again for 3 seconds) and dash clock set-up. Thats expected but check other functions as well.
There may also be a ESP light on perminantly on the dash on reconnection of the battery. Start the Scirocco and drive in a straight line at 15 - 20 kph until it extinguishes. You don't have to set off that way but it must sample a short straight stretch of driving at 15 - 20 kph speed to set up the Steering Angle Sender -G85- for the Steering Controller. The ESP light will extinguish automatically when the Steering Angle Sender is set-up.
Simples.

When I had my battery disconnected, the radio went into safe mode. Now, since VW doesn't provide you the 4 digit code, I had to take the car to the local dealer in order to resurrect my radio.

Thought it didn't need the code anymore as long as it wasn't removed and fitted into a different car as it was stored and read over CanBus
