God, this is an example of why not to buy a German car.

Thank you. I did verify the connections, and they seemed to be fine. I then replaced my original coil pack (after having covered all of the cracks with epoxy), and found that the fault codes went away. So apparently this was the result of using an aftermarket coil pack, which, although the car runs fine and does not misfire, seemed to nevertheless generate these four codes.

@smandable Thanks for the follow up. Your additonal information will surely help someone in the future.

I've just done this (before watching this video, unfortunately, and I still have all 4 fault codes. I notice that the narrator seemed to re-connect the wire in the harness, so that the new ground was connected both to the pin in the connector and the wire going back into the harness. I hadn't realized this was necessary, and I am not sure why it would be. I mean, aren't we just replacing a ground here, from the pin in the connector to ground?

@smandable You can and the TB suggests terminating the original wire. This is the way (in the video) I have done the repair each time I havebeen faced with it.
If you still have fault codes I would:
- confirm you used correct gauge wire
- check your repair, is it possible the butt splice is loose?
- test circuit integrity when fault code is present
Have you tried our tech forums for additional help?
If none of these are issues take the vehicle to a qualified VW repair facility.
