By this, do you mean you cleared the codes and they haven't returned? If so, then I wouldn't sweat it. If I ever scan and find any codes, I record what they are and then clear them. Any that come back, I will deal with. A lot of the time, those codes that show up and don't reappear are just transient, intermittent faults, or ghosts that aren't real codes. If you delete them and they come back, then you need to troubleshoot.

You can get it scanned at AutoZone and see if any latent codes are still present. Or go to www.ross-tech.com and download the USB 409 version of VagCom onto your laptop, order a $20 USB-to-OBD2 cable, and be able to do all of it at home. If you don't have any, you're good to go.
