Do you know what kind of scanner they used to scan the car? They don't appear to be VW codes from a VW scanner, but they aren't generic codes either.

Thanks Billymade for the reply and information! Very helpful! I'm a D.I.Y. kind of guy. But I know my limitations. I will be counting on this forum to help get me through this and other issues. I also plan on passing on my experiences in hopes of helping others.16842/P0458/001112 - Ross-Tech Wiki

Typically, when the heating circuit is bad; the 02 sensor, needs replaced. This can be tested; using a multimeter, according to the service manual testing procedure (a simple continuity test). Genuine Bosch 02 sensors; are the way to go, get the "oe" version, not the universal type. You can look up yours here: be sure to search with your engine code:
